If you 26 more world series before the Yankees win one, then I will say that you are better, untill then stop chanting Yankees suck, its just annoying and has no fact behind it. look at statistics. don't just go on one season and one series, yes u came back from a 0-3 deficit, but what put u behind in the 1st place?
