But you made it a point to inject your "WE'RE THE YANKEES!" BS in a thread about the loss of a human being, not a New York Yankee. And if you're going to be offended by someone giving you a little grief because of that, that's your choice, but remember that you were the one who steered the conversation in the means of the Yankees. Besides, I was just giving you the typical Yankee argument. My heart is with your team members and fans, as always, but don't think that will give you carte blanche to brag about your, as of late, inefficient team.

Pardon me sir...but I did not believe that I was BRAGGING. It's not in my nature to brag. Even If I "steered it" the way that you say, you could have been the bigger man right? All I believed I did was make a little gesture of faith in my team in light of this tragedy beyond not advancing to the World Series. Is there anything really wrong with that? I don't really see how that constitutes "bragging" per se. If I really wanted to brag, I could have said "All other teams suck except the Yankees, and that's why we'll eventually win it". But I did not. The only thing that I really hope now is that we both can respond to each other civily when it comes to the matters that come to this board, as CFI's, I think that we could both do that, even when not seeing eye to eye.
