Real Democrats root for the Red Sox!
http://sports.yahoo.com/mlb/news?slug=ap-bush-baseballowners&prov=ap&type=lgns

George Steinbrenner gave Bush $2,000, as did that little prick A-Rod.

Sox owner Tom Henry, on the the other hand, gave Kerry 2K.

Since Padres owner John Moores kicked in for Kerry, I guess they're my horse in the NL wild card race!

3. get real
Don Mattingly, the Yanks hitting coach is a big Dem. He's been talked about as a candidate for Congress in Indiana.

4. I think that way too much money goes to campaigns, but...
if either the Bosox or A's can beat the Damned Yankees, I'll look the other way.

7. I disagree
John Henry is a fucking tool (or is that Larry Lucchino) and Steiny's the man, though it's reversed in this case. x(

9. Real Yankee fans know hate Steinbrenner
and know that A-Rod isn't really a Yankee.

10. if you play for the Yankees
you are a Yankee. I never bought into that real Yankee nonsense and I've been going to the stadium since I was 5 years old.

16. Not with Steinbrenner's latest spree.
Paulie, Tino, Pettite, along with Bernie, Jeter, and Jorgie were all YANKEES--guys who pulled for each other and came together as a team.

Guys like A-Rod and Giambi have never fit in or become real clutch players. A-Rod still can be counted on to reliably make an out when the team needs a hit the most. A pure Rotisserie player.

12. Steinbrenner and the Yankees
have ruined pro baseball. What is the payroll now? 200 million a year. So, it is fitting that he'd support Bush.

18. Boston SUCKS!!!
Steinbrenner is an ass and A-Rod likes the pukes for some reason, but the Yanks are still a great team.

an inferiority complex, when it comes to New York.
