The 2009 Matties: Yankees (still) suck

It’s rare that the Yankees appear in MEvBLOG print without being preceded or followed by an expletive of some sort. And for the sake of my brother – a die-hard fan of the blue pin stripes – I’d like to say this post will be different…but it won’t.

Even though they won their 27^th World Series – or mostly BECAUSE of it – the Yankees are still the team I dislike the most. Did they play amazing baseball, especially the last half of this season? Yes. Did A-Rod finally come through for them? Yep. Did they deserve to be the world champs? Absolutely.

However, I still want to break a bottle over the head of Jorge Posada in a bar fight and/or punch Derek Jeter in the throat, for reasons that are quite petty – i.e. they don’t play for the Red Sox.

Therefore, the 2009 Matty for Deserving Championship Teams I Still Hate With a Passion that Burns Like the Fire of a Thousand Suns goes to the New York Yankees.
