I am a boston fan and hate the yankees...but how can you honestly say with a straight face that NY is not a baseball town....it has TWO baseball teams.

That's why it's such a big story. I feel like I could run that franchise better.

The majority of people in Washington DC are from someplace else and are the biggest fairweather fans on the planet. When I was a kid the Redskins sucked bigtime until they finally brought in George Allen. During the suck times most of my friends used some variation of <I was born in X and my dad is an X fan so I am an X fan too> where X!= Redskins.

As with all chuckywang threads, don't try to understand it, you'll only end up hurting your brain. :confused:

Sorry, being an impartial observer it's my belief that honor belongs to St. Louis.
