   Lotta baseball strips lately. I used to be a fan, but…

   I stopped caring about baseball around the time Tiger Stadium was demolished. Tiger Stadium was history; Comerica Park is a hideous affront to the name of both architecture and baseball. And I’m sick of seeing stadiums named after the corporation that sponsored them.

   So, using this hackneyed logic, the Yankees have won the WS every year since, say the year you won the Pulitzer? no, they have not. NYY monies contribute greatly to the fiscal well-being of both Major League Baseball and NYC, and generate hundreds of jobs & collateral revenue sources.

   Look a little closer to home for overspending, with far less positive results.

   I gave up trying to keep up with all the teams shortly after Mantle and Maris. Eight in each league was enough.

   This cartoon is HILARIOUS. It is why we need more women political cartoonists to be recognized. No man would have
   done this cartoon.
   EXCELLENT.

   “No man would have done this cartoon”

   Wow, that sure is a sexist statement. Use sweeping generalizations often?

   I am die-hard Red Sox fan and can’t stand the Yankees but singling out the Yankees is unfair. The problem with this cartoon is that it only criticizes the Yankee organization as steroid-using money-grubbers. The truth is, no team in MLB has been immune to this. I wonder if the Yankees hadn’t made it to the World Series playing the Phillies, would this cartoon have been made?

   Yankees spend money like Congress–only exception is
   Yankees are successful.

   Three of Signe’s last four cartoons are pro Phillies, anti Yankees.

   Makes for a great big, who cares?

   Listening to a fan is almost as boring as reading the stuff from rabid partisans, you know who you are.

   Given New York is politically sold out to the homosexual “rights” movement (all animals are created equal, but some are more equal than others!), I enjoy the depiction of NY male sports fans / figures as being sissified, skirt-wearing little betas who are dancing together like lovers.

   The death of masculinity is so prevalent on the east coast that i almost expect to see young males start burning posters of John Wayne and Clint Eastwood in uncontrollable fits of rage…

   Maybe if all you feminized males in NY turned off the gd sports shows and started paying attention to politics–stuff that actually MATTERS–you could reclaim your state before it’s too late…

    Steroids joke, old. Along with maybe a “jab” at the fact that NY is probably the world leader in terms of needle addicts bumbling around (usually shacked up with some welfare queen who uses her EBT card to feed them).

    OLD, I noticed the syringes too.

    Um … are the Yankees in the World Series?

    I know the Phillies are, but only because a friend who lives in those environs told me.

    Scott,

    Little thing… “Facts” are not “Probably”. Something may be a fact or something may be probably but they can not be both.

    Maybe if you understood that then you’d be able to make better sense of the world that is spinning around you!

    Scott- “the Duke” spent his life trying to live down being named Marion (Morrison)- but avoided the military- and created a huge myth about “manliness” and “heroism” as well. Worst and most inaccurate (hilariously so) movie in history- “The Green Berets”.

    Signe’s just trying to get used to the idea that the Phillies are about to be beaten badly by the Yankees so she’s piling up excuses early.

    I liked the one with the banker’s parking lot from a couple of days ago. As a Met “fan” I’d be pulling for the Phillies in that I see the National League as the league of the people and the American League as the league of the corporates. I would, but I’m not, but that why I “” fan.

    Same with football except the other way around!

    No doubt that all of MLB is money-hungry, and willing to nail the fan for it (just check out ticket price increases over the past few decades, and the shift to corporate-sponsored skyboxes), but it is worthy of note that the Yankees have far more money than any other team. I’m a Red Sox fan, more or less, and they’re #2 in money thanks to clever stadium and concession ownership, but they’re way behind the Yankees.
    
    And toaster, come to Boston sometime and see Fenway Park. A classic.
