Aren't they just the little team that could? My token response to all my yankees fans: "You're right and you're the best. You're right and you're the best. You're right and you're the best," until they get bored and walk away. 9 years, $2 billion dollars in payroll. Aren't they just the little team that could?

Now that a Democrat is in charge, the coastal elites are back to showing the rest of the country who's the boss.
