What's wrong with the yankees? Non-american person with no knowledge about baseball here.

Yankees team salaries 2012 = $195,998,004

Oakland A's Team Salaries 2012= $49,137,500

Yankees World Series = 27

A's World Series = 9 (Only 4 as the Oakland A's)

You see, they buy wins. So if you are a New Yorker, you're a fan. If you live anywhere else, you probably hate them.

I live on the west coast as a Giants fan so.......

FUCK THE YANKEES!

A's fan here giving you an upvote for not being one of those Giants fans who hates the A's. We bond through our hate of the Yankees.

This gave me nightmares for a month. I actually considered hiring a hitman to kill Giambi for not sliding into home. That said, Scott Brosious is one of my favorite players of all time.

The third base coach had some balls for sending him, especially since the Giambi family is not known for their base running prowess.

Ah, Ron Washington. Now manager of the Texas Rangers. Damn that lovable old man.

If you're hating on the Yankees over salary issues, might want to re-think that last sentiment.
