At the Old Ballgame
Baseball is over for the year. It's now time for fans of New York teams to settle in to the long dark winter of the goal. Let's just get right out in front of it.
The Giants suck.
The Rangers suck. Yes, they beat Detroit today. They still suck.
The Knicks suck. It's not even the regular season yet, but they have a losing preseason record. They suck.
Although neither the Devils nor the Nets suck, I'm not really a fan of either team. Also, they are the New Jersey Devils and the New Jersey Nets. I'm still a New Yorker at heart.*
Okay, the Islanders don't suck either. But I don't care. Never cared for the Islanders.
*Yes, I know that the New York Giants play in New Jersey, but they still call themselves the New York Giants. Perception is reality.

I thought there was some vast Yankees conspiracy out there. How could the Yankees lose?

Listening to New Yorkers whine about thier sports teams borders on the obscene.
What the hell do you have to whine about?

Oh please. Who was whining? It was sarcasm. If you could actually listen, you'd have known that. Since you can't, try to hear everything I write like Richard Belzer was saying it. Then you'll have it. I'm no damn Fran Drescher.

Hey the Giants beat the previously undefeated Vikings big time today!

Sorry, but after being treated to the sob stories coming from Chicago and Boston, hearing a New Yorker complain about losing was to much for me to bear.

Well, at least I still have the Isles to root for. Let's go Isles!

The Red Wings Rock! But losing to the Rangers is a bit embarrising.
