The Bitterest BaseballFan

[pasunepipe]

Katy sees two boys, Yankees fans around the age of 10, holding up numbers that spell out (number out?) 1-9-1-8. They chant, "Who's your daddy?" along with the rest of Yankee Stadium.

Katy: Oh, that's right, boys, laugh it up. It's so easy to be a Yankees fan, isn't it? You've won a pennant in, what, 7 of your 9 years on this planet? It's just

To be fair, Pedro has totally invited the "Who's Your Daddy" chanting, it's his own fault.

That was such a great game! I'm so happy the Red Sox won. I love the Yankees (except for A-Rod and Tony Clark, natch), but I'm not sorry that the Yankees lost, they deserved to. The Red Sox totally deserved to win, and I am thrilled for them.

My problem was not so much the Who's Your Daddy chant in general, as I am a fan of all sorts of gamesmanship (as they call it on Fear Factor). I actually thought that was really funny (especially because it worked).

I just hated the smug-ass look on these two kids' faces. Of course, it is not really their fault that they grew up in New York and are rooting for a team that has been very successful during their entire life. It is just sort of hard to take "Ha ha, you haven't won a World Series since 1918!" from a kid whose idea of a heartbreaking baseball season is losing the World Series to the Marlins last year.

But I am just bitter in general, so don't mind me.

I really think that was the best part of the game for me.

I love that Yankees fans are now throwing their 26 wins in everyone's face. They don't seem to get that that's why everyone else was rooting against them. You've had your turn, people. Suck it up and deal.
