ok i did not want to go there but you guys got me started. it would be nice to talk to most of the yankee fans to see how true they are. i can bet most are bandwagon fans that could not tell you who are there 5 starting pitchers
need i say more
need i say more
don't know if that's you in the pic, but you look alittle young to be considered extremely loyal.
i hope for your avatars sake your owen qoute don't apply to you... i'm sure there has to be at least 1 yankee fan beater in this world
:biggrin:
lol no they dont apply to me. I heard that qoute once when I went to a red sox yankee game. by a yankee fan. Yes thats me and my wife in the pic. I am 27 and we have been married for 7 years. Ya I was married young. But I have been around, and after fighting two wars I am still 100 percent loyal. To this country and the yankees. You wouldnt believe where I have found yankee fans around the world.
This is a comment i can deal with. and i'm sure they are some true yankee fans out there. i also give credit to them for having a Owner that does not care about filling his pockets, instead re-investing the money on his team cause he wants to win. but the true fact on those 26 world championship is that about 18 of them were when there was only 8 teams in the league. but even if there were more teams i'm sure they would of won a good amount of them because they always invest the money to win. I cannot post something like Yankee Suck even if they did. but i can say that i am a true met fan. true enough to know what it is to go through hell hoping that your team will someday start to go in there pockects. and thank the lord that day has come. for all you hating yankee fans (not you Remy)that like to bash out other teams just cause you team spend s the money that most other teams can't. i hope you guys never go through what most met fans have gone through because i'll bet for sure most of you would find a new team to cheer for. thats why we can say We are true fansYANKEES @ 06, BABY
Next Years this will be posted "27 Times World Champions"
I was going to do a Devil Rangers post but that would just be hard since I am a devils fan. But the great thing about the devils games you can always get tickets. But this give me and Idea We could do and MR game night where we all get together and go to a game.
Sigh....Met fans act like they are the only NY baseball fans who've suffered. I've been a Yankee fan since 1976, when my godmother took me to Yankee Stadium to see a game. Everyone of those years were under the ownership of G. Steinbrenner (who spent more money than other owners). Now that the Yankees are winning, haters are quick to bring up that fact. Let's not forget 1990; :irked: record - 67-95 21 games back.
Zero championships from 1979 - 1995. These were the years I grew up wishing they would win again.:sad2: To make matters worse, the Mets win in 1986 :banghead: When 1996 happened, I felt I deserved the right to gloat. 1998-2000 were just frosting on the cake.
To me, any before 1977 doesn't matter and have never mattered. I didn't celebrate those championships at all. I never rooted for Babe Ruth, Joe Dimaggio or Roger Maris. Ask me about Chris Chambliss, Roy White and Ed Whitson.

I was much too young to remember '61-'62. So my first championships were '77-'78. It was a very looooong drought for me too. I would have loved to see Mattingly get a ring as a player.
By the way Dace..........Wang, Mussina, Johnson, Wright & Karstens over Lidle any day. I watch every game. Take note of the lapse in time when I'm not on the MR boards everyday

as of late they are throwing in some rookies like kerstans who is a rookie.
feel free to talk to me if you want to find out who is a true yankee fan.
there are more bandwagon mets fans that you know that i can talk about. how about the same question for the mets. and i wonder how many mets fans were all crying foul that the team was becoming all hispanic.
Now no one cares anymore because they are winning. its AMAZING (like that choice of words?? LOL) that no one says that anymore. talk about bandwagoners lol
with the avatar i would think you would definately be a true fan russ.......I was much too young to remember '61-'62. So my first championships were '77-'78. It was a very looooong drought for me too. I would have loved to see Mattingly get a ring as a player.

Hope you didn't google it...lol
:joke:
First of all bandwagon to me is someone who becomes a fan because a team wins a world serie. so obviously there can't be too many bangwagoners because we would have to win some first. onlike the yankees have 26 champ rings so that would atleast give more people a chance to jump on the wagon, i'm not saying your one of them, but i'm saying that there are alot of them out there.
obvious this would not apply to me because i'm hispanic. so why would i be complaining if there getting lots of hispanics on the team. even though that's not what's important, weather there black, hispanic, white, asian, what's important is that they were out there trying to get the best players they could at the time to better the team and it so happen that most of the availible players were hispanic. Now i got tired of hearing the bull!@#$ of what his trying to do is put an all hispanic team together from the begining of the season. where are those people now. if we would of had a bad season everyone would have been pointing a finger at omar, but now there's no one in site. he brought a team from last place to first place weather they were mostly hispanic or not. would i've been mad if they were all black , white or asian and we had the same results? HELL NO! i don't care where your from just win me a ring. as for the yanks, they still are playing the way they always play in sep- oct. thats why they are who they are. (champions). as for my mets, there playing like shitz.......
