Hate is such a strong word
The team everyone loves to hate is coming into town tonight for a 3 game series with our beloved Baltimore Orioles.

I think it's important note that there are a few groups that do not hate the Yankees:
- People from New York that aren’t Mets fans
- Fair-weather baseball fans that love the Lakers for the same reason
- Misguided foreigners that do not know any better
- ESPN
But by in large, I think most people agree with the following:
GO BIRDS!!
UPDATE:
Mid-week madness strikes Camden Yards!
The Yankees are coming! The Yankees are coming! You can be there for this mid-week matchup between your Baltimore Orioles and their division rivals, the New York Yankees.
I can clearly state that when it comes to fair weather fans, there is nothing worse then Oriole fans (that's Camden Yards era). So, on that note, I will invoke my lifetime committment to the winningist franchise in baseball history, the team my father, and his father before him—and his Mom—routed for no matter what their record: Go Yankees!!

You have an excuse to be a Yankees fan, you weren't taught any better. j/k It’s good to see a passion for the game! A Yankee fan bought me a beer last night, so I guess they aren’t all bad?!
