Still not as bad as the entitlement of Yankees fans, though, IMO.
I believe there are a few Yankees fans on the board, so be careful about broad generalizations!

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Granted, I haven't been gone long, but I feel like New York douches are douchier than in most places. And Yankees fans have a higher proportion of douches than average for sports teams.

Seriously, the sore-looserness is getting fucking old.
I've been going to Yankee games with my family since before I could walk. Most of the faces I love I can picture in pinstripes. The firing of Joe Torre, the new stadium, its been a crazy last little while. It's been nine years since we won a series (guess we didn't bother to buy one?), and this is a treat. Just shake the other guy's hand and say, "Good game."

True dat. My apologies to any Buffista Yankees fans. The problem is, the douchey sports fans are generally the ones you notice most, especially if they are fans of a visiting team. And Yankees fans seem to come up for games more than most other fans (see also, the Canadiens).
Lord knows, though, that there have been more than a few times I've been embarassed by fans of our local teams in a serious "Can you not be on my side, please?" way.

Several years ago, my family went to a game at Fenway. (I don't remember who the Red Sox were playing, but it wasn't the Yankees.) As we were walking from our car to the stadium, we passed by a bunch of stands selling "Yankees Suck" shirts. I said to my sister that it was silly that they were selling those shirts on a day when the Red Sox weren't even playing the Yankees. She responded, "Yeah, and anyway, Yankees don't suck. Yankees rock." I felt in my pockets for how much money I had and told her I'd give her a dollar if she shouted that. So she shouted, "Yankees Rock!" and I gave her a dollar, and then my mom lectured both of us about how she thought we were smart enough to not do something so stupidly dangerous.

The incessant Yankee hate. I haven't kept a list of who. It's old and really can take a breather now.
