Gone East

I don't hate the Yankees

I'm on the record about Clemens, but otherwise I want to be clear that I don't HATE the Yankees. They are a quality team, and apparently a good bunch of guys.

On the night when Cal Ripkin Jr decided it was time to end his consecutive games streak, the Yanks were the opposing team that night in Baltimore. It wasn't announced that Cal wouldn't be playing. When the Orioles took the field, people didn't immediately notice that Cal was absent.

The Yankees in their dugout noticed, and the whole team stepped up to the field level and started the ovation that saluted Cal on finishing his historic streak. I've always thought that was classy of the Yanks.

I don't hate the Yankees. I just want them to lose EVERY game, and especially when they're playing the Red Sox.
