That's gratifying to you, as a fan? Fair enough. #worldseries

That's some quality revisionist history.
Matsui and Damon are both currently finishing up a 4-year, $52 million deal. That's $13 million per year. That's only "on the cheap" for the Yankees and maybe 3 other teams in baseball.
And that's the point. I cheer for the Toronto Blue Jays, who used to matter, but play in the same division as the Yankees and Red Sox. They had to give away Alex Rios on waivers because they couldn't afford to pay his contract anymore. They can afford to pay maybe two star players, and since they screwed up on Vernon Wells, the other one (Halladay) is out the door.
Or you watch some team sign Sabathia, Teixeira AND Burnett in free agency to go with all the money they already spend, and you shrug your shoulders and sigh.
Your team is Microsoft. You are Wal-Mart. You are the soul-less, joyless, miserable "machine". How is that fun? #worldseries

Look man.. I don't like that the Steinbrenners throw money around willy nilly and I hate Alex Rodriguez and I have never and will never cheer for him.. but you expect me not to enjoy this victory?
And it's not revisionist history.. Matsui and Damon were steals compared to the type of cash Steinbrenner threw at other players.. #worldseries

An acquaintance of mine died two days ago from swine flu. He is looking down from heaven and celebrating.
He has two words for you and your juvenile snarky nonsense and wanna be cleverness ... SUCK IT! #worldseries

OK, I can't believe AJ Fucking Burnett contributed to a World Series winner, given that his ring is from a year when he blew out his elbow in April and had Tommy John surgery. #worldseries

Yes, Johnny is still proudly waving the cherished flag of the most important collection of citizens all around the universe, Red Sox Nation. When he improbably stole 3rd base against the Phillies he was doing so for his beloved Boston fanbase, the same fans who still root for him everywhere he goes despite the pinstripes he currently dons.
Believe it or not, Joe Girardi will also be managing for the honor of Red Sox Nation. And the entire audience will watch this game thinking about how the outcome will affect Tommy from Quinzee. #worldseries

Except if I were her, I'd stand around naked looking at myself in a full length mirror all day instead of wincing through the red-highlighted stuff that you guys don't have to see. #worldseries
