I found this on a forum.

"I¹ve been staying out of this, but it is getting really annoying and
it is time to rant.

I don't know what George will do, but I know what Yankees fans will
do. They will tell you how great they are. They
always tell you how great they are.

After their run in the 90¹s, they told you how great they were, but
you had to take it, because, well, that was a great team.
The players played the game the right way and they were led by the
classiest manager in sports.

After they choked to the Diamondbacks, they still told you how great
they were, even though (at the time), we didn¹t think
a team that good could possibly choke like that.

In 2002, re-loaded with the steroid twins and the rest of
Steinbrenner¹s Hessians, they still choked when the Angel¹s came
to town. What did the Yankee fans do? Tell you how great they were.

In 2003, after a great series against the Sox, the Yankees didn¹t even
show up for the World Series and choked to another
expansion team. I really thought they would shut up then and show some
humility; but what did they do? They told you
how great they were.

In 2004, the Yankees perpetrated the worst choke in the history of
American sports. They had the Sox down 3 games to zip
in the 9th of game four, with the best reliever in the history of the
game on the mound, and they blew it. Then they followed
with the same thing in the 8th the next day, and blew that. In game 6,
Yankee fans proved how much class they had when
the NYPD had to don riot gear and take to the field to keep the fans
from coming over the walls after their candy-assed 3rd
basman tried to cheat and was caught. They proved to the world that
they were in a league of their own, just Yankee fans
and Raider fans in their own class. The team didn¹t even show up for
game 7. The most humiliating choke job in the history
of sports, and what did the Yankees fans do? Tell you how great they
are.

In 2005, they bowed out of the play offs like they were embarrassed to
be there. And the Yankee fans still told us how great
they were.

In 2006, with the highest payroll in the history of sports, and the
highest inequity in the history of sports, they continued
their string of chokes. With payroll and luxury tax topping $240 M,
which is twice their American League East rivals and
three times the Tigers, they couldn¹t hit, catch, or pitch. And after
not showing up for the big series for a sixth year in a row,
what do the Yankees fans do? They keep telling you how great they are.

OK, just because you are apparently too stupid to figure this out,
I¹ll explain it for you one time. The reason everybody
hates you is not because the team is so good, it is because the fans
are so arrogant they can¹t even recognize failure. Fans
around the country are pleased when their teams do well and show
pride, and sad when they do poorly and show humility.
That is called sportsmanship. (See St. Louis for an example of how it
is done right). In New York, fans rub it in your face
when they do well, and they tell you how great they are when the team
****s. That is just annoying. Stupid and annoying.

The Yankees have the biggest advantage in the history of sports and
have choked 6 years in a row. It is time for you to shut
up and go away. You are no longer Murder¹s row; you are the Atlanta
Braves of the American League. The rest of us are
busy enjoying two great baseball teams full of talented players who
want to win and fight it out for the right to go to the
World Series. It is time for the fans from Detroit and Oakland to show
some pride, it is time for the fans for baseball to
enjoy what should be a great series of old-fashioned baseball, and it
is time for Yankees fans to shut up and go away. We
don¹t care how many championships your father¹s and grandfather¹s
teams won, you **** now, you have ****ed for 6
years, and you will continue to **** because your team has no soul and
your fans have no class. Now please go away.

Jealous of what? I think your post proves his point.

Now please go away.

"****ing" doesn't get a team to the playoffs.
You do the same.

When was the last time ANY team went on "a run" like the one referred
to in this post ? Ohhhh....never ? Right. That's why the Yankees are
good, whether people want to hear it, or not.

Sounds like someone has a severe inferiority complex.

And I love how every time the Yankees lose, some jackass calls it a
'choke'. Kinda makes it lose all meaning when you beat it into the
ground, right?

People would enjoy baseball a lot more if they could just find joy in
their teams success, instead of gloating over the Yankees when they
lose. Yankee fans are proud when their team wins. But if the A's lose
the playoff series, do you really think Yankee fans are gonna go around
screaming about how the A's 'choked' and how the A's ****?

People who get more satisfaction in the Yankees losing then they do in
the success of their own team are just sad, and they surely aren't true
baseball fans. But it's 'hip' to hate the Yankees, and even 'hipper' to
complain about them. So when you see people getting all worked up over
them, chances are, they're just blindly following the trend.

How easy is it to be a yankee fan? Win or lose, every year you have the
best roster money can buy. You're guaranteed a shot at the WS. Try being a
Cubs, Pirates, Bucs, or Royals fan. Now that's a real fan that deserves
respect.

High expectations in a team has it's own pitfalls. As we Yankee fans
have endured.

Fans go to baseball games to see good players and good play. The teams
you mention beat playoff contenders every season. Just not as often.

The best point he makes:

When your team wins, you are happy. When they lose, you are sad and move on.

What makes Yankee fans hated by everyone except Yankee fans is that when
they win, they rub it in and in and in and in, then, when they lose, they
scream 26, 26, 26, 26, and berate every other team.

If the Mets win the WS, and I do say IF, do you think the Yankee fans would
be happy? No way, because they cannot just deal with their own teams ups and
downs, they revel in the fact that everyone elses team does bad.
