Damn Yankees

Anybody see the Rays-Yanks game last night? Good lord was that satisfying. Led by ubercocky B.J. Upton (also a proud member of the Jim Rice Glare), our hometown rookies beat NY 10-8, despite two homers from supernatural talent A-Rod. It feels good, sweet, life-affirming even when the Yankees lose -- unless you're this yabbo on the left, who is no doubt teetering on the edge of the Brooklyn Bridge. I imagine the Trop was three-quarters stuffed with pinstriped fans last night -- I also imagine most of those same bandwagoners were cheering for the Rays by game's end.

Anyway, I've probably cursed TB for tonight's rematch (go get 'em Kaz), but what the hell: Here's a playlist dedicated to Yankee bashing, Yankee suckdom, Yankee angst. Feel free to play along, sing along...and boo the hell out of Jeter.

HA! Nice use of Joe Lies. Do you actually have a copy of that song? I'm jealous.

Don't forget their playoff theme song: "Loser" by Beck
