They buy their team and their fans are so obnoxious..
If u'r gonna be just like cheering in the stands, pick an underdog and have some character. If you have money on the game, it's different, that's kinda like having stock in a company. But if u'r just gonna be a loud mouth, beer fueled, ass bag in the stands, pick an underdog. Rooting for the Yankees is like going to a casino and cheering for the house. They are always supposed to win.

I was too young to be a laborer but had a job as a waterboy during the summer of '75, yeah running coffee, water, donuts, buttered rolls, etc to the construction workers, I got paid $75.00 per week plus tips which made it worth about $250 p/w, tips were big biz to us, we never stopped moving. If the workers saw one of us taking a break we'd hear "Hey BOY! where's that damned water?"
The stadium was tore up big time, me & Greg (another waterboy & close friend) called it "The Hole" because the entire field was dug up as well.
How and why the Yankees can afford their payroll? The tickets are probably the highest price seats in baseball, they sell out EVERY home game of the year, 10 yrs ago a gameday program was $10 ($2-5.00 in other venues), hot dogs were $4.00, a small water $3.50, and the OLP sold worldwide is enormous. The fans pay the price & expect the brass to buy the best players that can be afforded. The only thing money buys is talent, unless the team is properly coached and inspired NOTHING can buy a win. I watch and/or go to the games as a fan of the sport, I can also say that the ONLY team I actually hate is the team playing the Yanks on any given day, in fact once the Yanks are ko'd from playoffs I often find myself rooting for the Red Sox.
