  1. now that this show is actually on Friday Nights, i can probably watch it. I did catch the last 15 minutes of the show and feel i need to see the whole thing. Does anyone know if they'll run it again the way they did last year or do i have to get it offa iTunes?
  2. so...someone who, within the culture of the yankees organization, is a fan favorite, a team favorite and a management favorite? Is that the gist of it? so does that mean this (that i found on line) isn't true? The origin of the term True Yankee comes from when Joe DiMaggio played with the Yankees. Joe would walk into the locker room and declare that only he, Gehrig, and Ruth were "True Yankees". After this, he would take the coffee grinds from his percolator (this was before the days of Mr. Coffee) and throw them into all the lockers, except his and Gehrig's, thus showing the rest of the t

  12. i'm going to be in NY when tomorrow's game starts. I'm not sure i'll be able to find a place to watch it before my train.
  13. any fan of baseball that pisses and moans about other teams fans has no business being a fan of baseball. honestly. every freaking team has asshole fans. and every team has great fans. and every team has bandwagon fans. and every team has blah blah fuckity blah blah. JHC people, just suck it up that your team didn't make the playoffs, or revel in the fact that they did, and get back to the business of loving baseball regardless of who is playing. If you can't do that, then just follow football or something.
