O.K., all you Yankee haters, why do you hate the Yankees so much?
Question:The best answer gets 10 points.
One catch here, though. You cannot use that lame, whiny crap about money, spending, salary caps, or any of that. I want REAL reasons. This question is to see if anyone has any legitimate reasons for hating the Yankees, and not just mere jealousy. I'm betting you don't. Still, I want a good effort, as the 10 points will be awarded, guaranteed.

Would you agree that Derek Jeter is the best shortstop in baseball.?
3 simple reasons mah brotha:Logical Reason #1 cuz its a doggy dog world: They is tha ONLY team in HISTORY ta bliznow a 3-0 lead in tha playoffs . Fo'-fo' desert eagle to your motherfuckin' dome. EVER with the gangsta * that keeps ya hangin. Not just in baseball eitha�. It’s neva happened in basketball baller . Dogg House Records in the motha fuckin house. Only TWICE in hockey.
Lizzles Reason #2: They hizzy tha largest payroll in HISTORY n they STILL lost n *. And they have lost, in spite of this, fo` tha last fizzy years in a row. The difference between them n tha #2 baller this year was more then miznost teams spend TOTALLY, n tizzle STILL only came in second (actually, tha Cardinals came in 2nd, where tha Yankees n Astros tied fo` 3rd).
Logical Reason #3: Biggest purchase in history turned out ta backfire fo shizzle. A-Rod? A-FRAUD is mizzy like it. How did you like his illegal girlie-man slizzay? Everyone has ta admit thizzay it didn’t makes tha Yanks look good. Mizzle him n tizzy look desperate.
I Just Bought A Omaha Pro Baseball MIT How Should i Break it In?
There is no sport b/c Yankees recruited all the best by paying them off. that's how its done with cars do you want a hydaui or a ferarri? thats how it is done in housing do u want a small yard in the hood or do you want beverlyhills??Lame crap money spending ?I am giving you comparison!! So there is no sport in baseball and I am from NY! When politics are done this way ppl tend to get mad,too!Did Barry Bonds ever admit to taking steroids?
lol, I am a Red Sox fan. That was easy.Why is Clemens now being considered #4 starting pitcher for Yanks? What am I missing?
Actually all the reasons you list as being "lame, whiny crap" are actually legit reasons.But the biggest reason most hate the Yankees - is that cheering for the Yankees is like rooting for Microsoft.
What are the top ten things baseball scout look for in a High school Baseball player?
because they are mad that the yankees are the number 1 team in the mlb and theyre favorite teams (mostly boston) suck.What is a "closer" in baseball mean?
Success breeds contemptLEE MAZZILLI- he set my Os back 10 years and i think he was paid 10,000,000 by Steinbrenner to ruin the Os. He had a job with the Yanks less then a week after he was fired (if you believe that i have some land to sell you)
Okay, how about they can never get any good pitchers. The only reason they've won two games this year is because of their offense. The pitching is terrible! They NEED Roger Clemens back!
When is Brian Cashman going to realize that pitching wins ballgames?
The Yankees are often successful... this takes the excitement out of baseball. Personally, I'm a Met fan, partially because I was born into an all Met-fan family, but also because I believe Met fans have true spirit for their team, winning or losing. I find the Mets more interesting, because of the team spirit and my pure love for the game. I know many people that are Yankee fans simply because they always win, and they want to be winners... Maybe this helps?Pete Rose + Hall of Fame.. YES or NO???
The only people that can legitimately hate the Yankees are Red Sux fans, and with good reason...because we hate them too.Everyone else it's just pure jealousy, and if anyone tries to claim otherwise, they're just kidding themselves.
What is the record for the fastest baseball pitched?

What are the deepest outfields in MLB?
Number one is George Steinbrenner. He's basically a bully at times, and treats his people badly. Class acts like Don Zimmer and Mel Stottlemyre have been driven out of the organization, and Joe Torre has at least thought about leaving. He's certainly willing to spend money to win, and deserves credit for that, but he's a difficult man to root for.Second, Yankee fans. They overrate the talent of their players and diminish the abilities of others. Many are happy winners and poor losers, and take winning with a sense of entitlement rather than joy. Very few have fun with the rivalry with the Red Sox.
Third, the media. New York writers generally are biased toward the Yankees. That's to be a bit expected, but there's more media there so it influences national media. Plus, the Yankees are forced down the country's throats in terms of scheduling. New York often on the game of the week, often on in prime time during the playoffs. Sometimes there are better stories out there. And, every Yankee doesn't deserve a book ... or three.
I've got nothing against many of the Yankees. I'll take many of them on my team anytime, and Torre can manage them. Rivera, A-Rod and Jeter are Hall of Famers. Damon and Abreu are nice players, Posada has held up very well over the years, and so on. But it sure is fun to see the commotion when they lose. And no matter what, Yankee haters will always have 2004.
Why is Ichiro's batting average so low this year?
One of the reasons I don't like the Yankees is because of what you said. You just said you don't want the #1 reason that people hate the Yankees as a reason for hating the Yankees. Their fans are so obnoxious and smug it is ridiculous. Take the 2004 ALCS for example: when the Yankees were up 3-0, there were Yankee fans everywhere all around the streets. But once they lost, you could not find any in sight. Sure, now that times are good, Yankee fans are out in full force, but back in the 80's and early 90's the Yankees' fans barely came out to Yankee Stadium. There fans are so ridiculous that when A-Rod hits .290, has 35 HR and 121 RBI he gets booed out of his mind. Yankee fans are impossible to like. More than three decades ago, Roger Angell described them as "overdressed, uncomprehending autumn arrivistes." Today we would describe them as front-running boors.Secondly, the Yankees are generally regarded as the preminent sports franchise (and rightly so), but they have only won six championships in the last 44 years, and four of those came in the Brosious Era. Their other twenty championships came in a 39 year period. Though the Yankees haven't been as dominant as the were in the 1920's-1960's, you wouldn't know it from some Yankee fans' opinions. They feel demeaned when talked to at the same level as any other baseball team.
Thirdly, Yankee fans get mad when people pull the "they spend more money than anyone else can" card, but yet when the Red Sox paid $51,111,111 to talk to Dasiuke Matsuzaka, what do you think Yankee fans were saying?
There, and I didn't even have to say that Yankee fans have spent over $1 billion in the last six years, more than a lot of third-world countries.
When is a good time to see batting practice for a MLB team. For example: Toronto Blue Jays?
I hate the Yankees because they are the Yankees pure and simple. They get the most media attention of any team in baseball, they are always on TV, their players every move is chronicled, and yes, you have the best team money can buy...that's not being whiney, it's the truth. I remember a few years ago when Santana of the Twins was going to be a free agent everyone in NY said he would come there because the Twins wouldn't be able to resign him...guess what, he re-signed out of LOYALTY to the organization, but it was the arrogance of the NY fans I remembered the most..we're going to get him, your not, well, we still got him, you don't. It's the whole arrogance thing that made me hate the Yankees from the owner down to the fans.and I love it especially when the Yankees lose. I hope you guys run A-Rod out of town so he comes back to haunt you!The Yankees have no farm team they have no talent besides the ones that come via other ways. Name the last player that the Yankees developed besides Jeter or Bernie Williams? Nobody. Their owner would rather treat anyone who gets in his way like garbage ala Torre because he didn't win a championship every year with the bought talent! Hmmmmmmmmmmmm No one respects the yankees anymore they're just a major joke to most players but act all happy when they get to the yankees but one screw up gets them in the doghouse that they'll never get out of like Arod. Have I listed enough?
How does the Designated Hitter rule work?

What is the best invnetion ever made?
I really could give a rats a_s_s about the yankees. No offense they are in a different league so unless we meet they are just another baseball team to me. So I guess you could say I dont hate them. I do however hate the arrogant fans they have ( like alot of teams). You know the ones who brag about championships that they were never alive to witness.Sports fans in New York (Met fans especially), are you sick of the "Yankee Bias?"?
Sorry, this is an open invitation to all Yankee Fans when asking such a question!! Jealousy is the color of GREEN...

one thing to all the yankees haters, dont hate appreciate, like wtf, yankees got over 20 world titles lolz!Boston red sox retired uniform number one?
It's the Yankee fans. They live their lives vicariously through the team, assuming that because they root for a winning team, they themselves are winners, and come off as pompous a-holes. In truth, if you need a sports teams to validate your self-worth, then you are an emotional loser, as most Yankee fans are. Dallas Cowboy fans also fit into this category.I want to know an estimate of how many errors A-Rod will have this year.?
To be honest with you, The Yankees are the biggest bunch of over priced ballplayers around..Steinbrenner has been trying to buy a championship since 2000, and hasn't gotten it right yet. What does that tell ya...Besides that I am the BIGGEST METS FAN around... METS are going all the way..On MLB 07 The Show.. How do i do sac flies with?
ok first of all because they have won so many World Series. . . they are stuck up and think they are better than anyone else. . . .second of all they are way too overpaid. . . . which also has them being stuck up. Plus i'm a Cardinals fan. hahaThe owner because he thinks he can just buy championships and is ruining basebal! Money is a REAL reason because IT IS DESTROYING BASEBALL! In this environment when the Yankees win championships it is watered down!
I always like to cheer for the underdog and since Steinbrenner has bought (oops) put together this team, I always go against them.
Another reason is the hype surrounding Joe Torre. I'm sorry but I could drop the names of the Yankee players on the floor and my dog could pick out a suitable line up. It's amazing how he wasn't considered such a great manager when he was with the Braves, it's because he had to mentor the rookies (since the Braves actually utilize the farmclub system) and actually think about how to build a winning team. He also didn't have the designated hitter so he had to use his brain and decide when to pull his pitchers and when to let them bat.
