And after doing some research, here’s what I found out:
“Yankees suck!” is a popular chant around Major League Baseball stadiums for years. And for 1996-2004, you’d probably be able to argue. But in 2005, your writer, a true, die-hard Yankee fan, would be inclined to agree…..

The Trot Nixon situation
I’ve been kept awake thinking of how to write about the latest round of prepubescent bitching between the Boston Red Sox and New York Yankees.
Some naysayers in the city of not-so brotherly love (aka New York), have been saying that maybe George Steinbrunner made a mistake getting the Big Unit instead of Big Carlos.
Sportscolumn’s Alex Ferguson argues his case for the mulleted one…
