How many pennants? World Series victories? World Series appearances? Hall of Famers? I could post pictures all year long. Damn, even Meatloaf featured Scooter in Paradise By The Dashboard Light

My mom was born in Boston and was a Boston Braves fan. She also loved the St. Louis Browns and Cardinals. She hated the Yankees. So, I kinda get a kick out of the Yankee haters. Reminds me of home.

finally break through and win the World Series.

Huh? The Yankees have one more World Series than any other team by a large margin. (24 to 9 by the A's and Cardinals). The current manager alone has won 4.

Now at a theatre in Beverly, MA:
"The 2006 season opens on April 25 with an all new production of DAMN YANKEES, created just for NSMT audiences, and presented in association with The Boston Red Sox. NSMT puts a new spin on this hilarious and heart-warming classic which now tells the story of a die-hard Red Sox fan who makes a deal with the devil to help the Sox take the pennant from the dreaded Yankees. Based on a concept by Jon Kimbell, Joe DiPietro (Memphis, All Shook Up, I Love You! You’re Perfect! Now Change!) has adapted the original book by Douglass Wallop and George Abbott – for this production only - to feature plenty of surprises and special appearances that will thrill NSMT and Red Sox fans alike. The score, with music and lyrics by Jerry Ross and Richard Adler includes “You Gotta’ Have Heart” and “Whatever Lola Wants.”

...and once the offense stops coming in spurs...

Is this about the Yankees or Brokeback Mountain?

I believe the Yankees have won 26 World Championships.

(Much to my chagrin.)

I won't disparage the Yankees or their chances, but to proclaim they'll win the World Series is taunting the Baseball gods. Fear the wrath of the deities of sport.

"This is the year that they finally break through and win the World Series."

Buddy, I'm with you all the way, but isn't it a little over the top to talk about "finally breaking through"? Not like they haven't won in 80 or 90 years or never!

Sheesh, what have ya' done for me lately?
