Besides, although it's frustrating, you only hate what I said because it's all true.

That's a broad statement, isn't it? I suspect there's a lot of grudging respect between the two fan bases, as there seems to be with all great rivalries.

I'm not denying it's true. My point is, that the Yankees are easy to hate, because their success is largely based on their enormous financial advantage over most other teams. They are able to buy the players that they need to be dominant at will, and the attitude that goes with that is unbearable to fans of other teams. I know from what I speak, as my team basically served as their Triple-A club through most of the 70's. It's like rooting for IBM, for God's sake.

Besides, it's my birthright to hate the Yankees.

For what it is worth, I'm a baseball purist. This victory is tainted without the Division win. (Still sweet, but tainted).

I don't like wild cards. And I don't like the DH. The presence of the P in the lineup was an important part of the WS games.

Well OK then.

You're going to need to identify the relevant state. And what if I just asked you to take the Bush twins on an embarrassing bender this weekend in a swing state?

(Note to all: just kidding. Really. On all counts. Really.)

Dude, I'm on that. RT, can we make this a 3-way deal.

Yeah, it's a good thing you guys didn't blow it in the '90s.

God damn those teams were good. Manny, Thome, Albert Belle, Lofton in his prime, Vizquel, David Justice in his prime, Sandy Alomar in his prime, Carlos Baerga (when he was good)...etc etc...

How did you not win?

The most efficient use of your hiring money may well be to get HER beaten up.

Actually, there's already a gang assembled for that.

All you have to do is ask, sweetheart.

Yesterday's horror scene list got me thinking about one that really should be on there. it's a really scary/funny/disturbing involving an actress having trouble with nature.

So trying to find a screen shot of the scene I google for the actresses name. She is a mom who lives about a half mile from me, and I know her/ coached one of her kids/ husband is friend, etc. Other than this movie, not much work in films.

A hit comes up from a comic book superhero geek forum. Some idiot teen who also lives near me apparently, is talking about the scene and says he knows her and lives near her. Says he went to school with and dated her oldest daughter/"almost nailed her*"/says the mom is still really hot, and he sees her alot looking through her living room window.

Anyway, it must be creepy to be a celebrity. I'm sure she's googled her name and seen this and probably other sicker stuff. So, it seems the internet makes being famous more disturbing.

*the daughter is a freshman at NYU in theatre and beautiful. The chances of a guy who posts on comic book forums almost nailing her is really samll. Maybe he spoke with her a few times and in his world that counts as "almost."

Boy says stupid stuff about how he really, really likes Girl but he's "confused" and needs time to sort everything out, but he really, really likes Girl. Girl patiently gives him time and sex. Fast forward four months of time and sex. Boy starts talking about a new girl who may be able to help him out professionally. When gently pressed on the issue, Boy announces that he's probably moving in with new girl after knowing her for two weeks. Girl is heartbroken.

Greedy: I'm just interested in pain.

Hank: I have no idea if he's a little guy, but I'll find out. I'll see what I can do about some lizard shots.

I know I'm going to come across as unsympathetic here, so I want to say if she were my friend, I would want the guy who brokeher heart to suffer physical pain commensurate with her emotional pain ... but ...

from what you describe, this guy sound like a bit of a user (especially if new girl's ability to help him out professionally really is something that matters to him, and wasn't just a cover), but does he really deserve to be beaten senseless? His real crime is that he didn't protect someone else from heartbreak. Of course he shouldn't have continued to have sex with her after she professed love he knew he wouldn't return, because only a fool wouldn't know that her feelings would continue to deepen and her hopes would continue to rise the more time they spent together, but it really sounds like he only took what she was willing to give, as selfish as that was on his part.

But she had her warnings. The moment he said "confused," she should have walked if she wanted to avoid future pain. Once you drop the l-bomb and it's not returned, you bear the risk of heartbreak, and you know you're giving more than you're getting. It's not like he didn't show his selfishness to her. She just (thought she) loved him in spite of it.

For the crime of stringing her along without expressly promising anything, somebody should key his car or slash his tires or sign him up on multiple porn sites using his work email or some similar harassment. If, however, he had promised her the moon without meaning it just to keep getting sex and adoration, then I think a maiming would be in order.

Yes, they were good teams.

Three words. Not enough pitching.

Being a Notre Dame fan, I can say that you're starting to sound like a Notre Dame fan. "Yeah, you may have won the most recent championship, but we have the most!*"

For the record, not a good argument. You sound like you're stuck in the past. It's the most recent one that counts.

*11 National Titles

Yale: 27 National Titles

I'm not a Yale alumn, but I hate hate hate Notre Dame.
