I hate the Yankees!

It gave me great pleasure to see my beloved but undermanned Baltimore Orioles take two out of three games from the evil empire this last weekend. That doesn't happen enough- and probably won't happen much more through the season. My boys have some good hitters in Mora, Tejada, Sosa and the Viagara man (Rafael Palmiero)- but as far as I can see, their pitching is not great. I figure they will finish in the middle of the pack in the AL east. I'd love to be suprised by better, but I don't expect it. Once the O's are far enough behind, I'll start rooting for the Red Sox. I'd root for anyone who could beat out Steinbrenner's boys. It's kind of like rooting against the hated Broncos during football season- only I despise the Hankies more. If the Donkeys could somehow get a game against the Hankies, I'd be hard pressed, but I guess I'd have to root for Denver.

Mora hadn't hit anything all season until he whacked one into the back of Carl Pavano's head. ESPN reported that Pavano had a concussion from that one... ... really? Melvin seemed to hit better since then. Maybe he should whack more Yankee pitchers in the melon! I hear Pavano will make his scheduled start later this week too. Is that wise or is he just that tough?

Who is the team you love to hate?

I hate the Yankees as well. My dad's a huge Boston fan, so it kinda rubbed off. Other than that, no one really comes close.

As a World Champion Boston Red Sox fan it's not too hard to imagine who I hate as far a baseball is concerned.

Football? It has to be the Broncos and Cowboys. The only way I can root for the Broncos is if they're playing the insufferable Cowboys and then I do it holding my nose.
