So you claim you are a big Yankee fan?

As the baseball season hits it's third week after both the Yankees and Mets have opened their new stadium and the both David Wright and Derek Jeter have christened the new parks with big homeruns it has come to my attention that baseball fans should be silenced.

I have heard Mets fans for one straight week bitch and moan about Citi Field and how bad the sight-lines are, how long the concession lines are an how much Dodger Blue is out there... The rest of the complaints are mostly legit but only a scum Met fan would complain about a part of the stadium that honors Jackie Robinson. Somebody tell whitebread that the world doesn't revolve around your crappy Long Island town.

But Yankee fans are worse, they board their trains and busses from NJ and Connecticut decked out from head to toe in pinstripes. All talking about the good old days of 1996 and 1998 and claiming they've been die-hards since Roberto Kelly was the next Mickey Mantle. They speak nostalgically about the House that Ruth built and tell you how passionate they are... except one little small thing somebody forgot to tell them that YANKEE JERSEYS DON'T HAVE NAMES ON THE BACK.
