You are so full of shit. Your argument sounds good, but it really only applies when your team hasn't won anything in ages. If the Yankees hadn't won a World Series since 1978, you would have a point. But we won four just recently and three in a row, ending in 1999. Maybe you can limit what is relevant to last year because you just won one. But are you going to shut the fuck up next year when you lose in the first round and the Yankees win it all? No. Then the argument will be, "We won one, you won one. Big deal."

And the comment about me sounding bitter is amazing coming from a Red Sox fan (the most bitter fans of any franchise in the history of the world). Really. I gave your team its due. Don't try and tell me that our past championships are meaningless because you finally won one.

You sound bitter.

26 Championships since 1921. Always.

Right. But your last championship was when?

The difference is, Notre Dame is done and has been for a long time. So when they talk about their success, it is meaningless to someone who wasn't born over 30 years ago. They can't compete with big time programs anymore and they can't recruit. There's no shine on that dome anymore. So, while I'm sure the Yankees will be in the playoffs next year, Notre Dame fans will be, once again, talking about yesteryear.

2 things:

(1) I'm not a Red Sox fan.
(2) Sucks to lose, doesn't it?

It's a shame that the Yankees can't compete with big time organizations like the Red Sox, THIS YEAR'S WORLD SERIES CHAMPS!*

*you're an asshole for making me argue for these assholes.

Especially when what you meant to say was "Oh my god, I love your cock" and got tripped up on the last part because somewhere deep in your brain you were thinking, "whatever you do, don't say I love you."

At least Jeter is a good shortstop and a team leader. A-Rod is just a whiner.

A-Rod had some fight in the beginning of the Series, but whenever the chips are down, he folds. Jeter has been so clutch so often that he gets a pass for this year's pathetic ALCS performance.

Yeah. Toughest easy job in sports.

But, he's no longer a good fit for our team. He was perfect for the '96 - '00 teams. But apparently our approach is to now be a team of run producers only. Torre makes the right moves when you have a team of role players - guys who get on base, guys who move them over, guys who get the runner in from third, guys who manufacture runs. A team of pure sluggers is (i) not much fun to watch and (ii) not really his style. If we're going to continue like this, we need Pinella.

Wait, you don't think that north central Indiana is very appealing to a high profile HS football player?

Not to mention the fact that the chicks are hideous. RP could land a running back there.

Yep. I assume you're accustomed to the feeling. Believe me, the 80s weren't much fun.

Yeah. That last paragraph clearly shows that I'm the asshole.

Steinbrenner needs to remember what won it for him those four years: good starting pitching, a phenomenal bullpen and good defense.

It's not easy to get you out of argumentative mode and into playful jab mode, is it?

Sure. I bet that, during sex, he DID love her.

We got screwed on the pitching front this past year. Clemens and Pettitte should have been there, but what can you do? We tried to fill the holes, but the guys we signed couldn't win a big game.

Our bullpen would have been phenomenal if we used them as relievers and not starters. Gordon's arm was clearly gone from overwork. Mariano had more appearances this year than ever. And Quantrill led the league in appearances (I think). What a waste.

I agree with you on the defense. But we'll solve that when we sign Beltran.

Remember, we lost Giambi and had a bunch of other injuries. Torre actually did pretty well with our overpaid squad. I just think that we now think the answer is to get the best players instead of the best players for our team.

You should know that I can't tell the difference between the two anymore. Even when I'm being playful.

Still the most modern (AP and Coaches) National titles (8), which are the ones usually counted by historians. And (I think) highest winning %.

Win % since the first AP poll (1936):
1 Oklahoma 0.74236
2 Ohio State 0.73596
3 Penn State 0.72796
4 Michigan 0.72569
5 Notre Dame 0.71819

However, ND does have the highest win% of all time.

Did I mention that I hate ND? And believe me, growing up in an irish/catholic family in a predominantly irish/catholic neighborhood, that is no easy feat.

a. I need a quick and easy costume. Assuming I drag my ass out this weekend for some fun. It's been a little while since I really went out and I'm feeling some pent up restlessness.

I think you should go as a starlet willing to do anything to get the role and take your chaise along as a prop.
