New York, New York

Why the long face young Yankee fan? Oh, wait - I know. It's because you know your team is one of the rest of us - mediocre. Or is it because you know that being a Yankee fan involves rooting for Alex Rodriguez? Maybe its the $82.5 million you just spent on a pitcher who hasn't stayed healthy for a full season since his rookie year (A.J. Burnett), even though the economy is down.

Could it be the fact your owner took the money to build the new stadium out of your pockets, and then spent all of his money on free agents, when he was bidding against himself due to the economy? Or is it because you're a closet Red Sox fan and you can't stand the thought of being a Yankee fan, even though both fan bases are universally loathed across the nation? Oh well, look at this way - you can't be any worse off than the Mets, so at least you're still the king of the Big Apple.
