There have been times when I didn’t like the Yankees winning all the time, such as 1977 & 1978, when they beat our poor Doyers in the World Serious two straight.
But when the Pirates won the Series in 1979, whatever dislike I had for the Bronx Bummers was gone.
I was actually happy when they beat the Atlanta Braves in 1996, but then I resumed getting annoyed at them winning all the time up until 2001.
I was overjoyed when the BoSox won it all in 2004, but then I also got tired of them consistently beating our poor Angels.
I just “dislike” dominant teams, unless they’re local.
Perhaps that’s an underlying reason for the animus that some people feel.
Perhaps some of them would feel less resentment towards the Yankees if there was a player salary cap, and the implementation of one might be a good idea.
Some idiots in Hell A think that we’re supposed to have a hatred of the SF Giants because of a historical rivalry that goes all the way back to NYC, and now there’s a manhunt for a couple of total fucking aholes that exemplify that animosity. These mindless sots tried to, and almost did kill a Giants fan who was at a game here about a week ago,
I hope they get caught, and are sentenced to life being chained under some seats in the bleachers at AT&T Park.
I hope so much that Bryan Stow makes a full recovery, and that McCourt does whatever he can to compensate him for this nightmare.
