Feeling a little nauseous after watching the yankees "unveil jacoby ellsbury" also. Objectively I cannot really see why anyone would want to root for the Yankees, who push the envelope with their albatross payroll...manufacturing a very artificial spectacle for their city and their fans year in and year out, and inflating the salary landscape. Juggling A-roid and making a frivolous juggernaut out of their Mariano Rivera retirement parade that shows no sign of stopping. I would not view the team they seem to be forming for next year as a prideworthy or authentic or meritable thing if I were an old school Yankee fan, and I'm glad that teams like boston are willing to challenge the market. I will not for the life of me understand why anyone would want to remain a yankee fan or simply care anymore after swiping a player that came up true boston, through the sox minor league system and played a major role in two world series wins that the yankees weren't a part of. I would not be able to view next years team without thinking that the yankees acted out of spite and jealousy. As a red sox fan I hope that the yankees continue to balloon in their utter fakeness and greed, and continue to shame professional sports until professional sports can finally summon up the courage to say what it has secretly wanted to say over the past 50 years: "GET THE F*%^ OUT."
I wonder if baseball at yankee stadium will cease to be played, yankee fans forgetting about the game-at-present and just staring in stupefaction as Jeter and Girardi engage in grandiose and nauseating nostalgia until the end of major league baseball.
