This is all I want. When the Yankees hit the road, I want to hear 40,000 people breaking into a giant chorus of Lucky Star by Madonna. We need to be more creative in our mass heckling. C'mon people!
"Hurl your apple, hurler!"
"Why don't you dig a trench so that the apple might be as low as you wish it to be!"
ah, it is most cooling on my moustache!
That's what I chant.
Don't like Papelbon and Youkilis, but that's about it.
Oh, and there is only love for Rivera and Wakefield (two of my favourite pitchers).
I do have a good man-love for Jetes though. I know he's over-rated and all that jazz, but he's still a cool character and comes up big pretty often.
My brother was shocked. "My God! What horrible dark place did that come from? You're out of control!"
The night the NYG won the big game, there were Brady Sucks, Boston Sucks chants than I have ever heard at a boston event bar the first SB Parade in 01.
There are Red Sox suck chants too. They're all lame, but it's pretty clear that a bunch of schmucks heard "Yankees suck" and felt they needed a response, which is a bit lamer IMO.
the last time I went to Yankee Stadium the crowd was chanting Boston Sucks, as they left the game (against the Twins...)
Years ago I was at a Knick game and near the end a Potvin Sucks, Potvin Beats his Wife chant started at one end... (A NY Ranger fan chant dated back to the 1970s when Islander Defensemen Denis Potvin broke Ulf Nilsson's collarbone...) I had a feeling that most of the chanters had no idea why they were chanting that...
I went to a Reds-Yankees game recently and saw groups of frat-looking guys sporting Red Sox gear.
That would work if the 75 World series had never happened- most of the Sox fans I know can recite every detail of every game 7 loss the Sox have ever suffered in the post season....
but then again the "Red Sox Nation" bandwagon followers probably can't.
Yep.
I'm using that!
I've already tried using "Get into the groove, Alex!!!" at Yankees games. It gets no traction but I crack myself up.
You act like this is unusual. I was at MSG in the 80's, and the fans were chanting "Beat your wife, Potvin, beat your wife" [clap][clap].
It wasn't just that the Islanders were not playing the Rangers that night, that made it stand out.
It was the fact that it was a Knicks game.
There was plenty of Yankees Suck and Boston Sucks back in the late 1970s. I couldn't tell you which group of fans started it and which followed. I can say neither the leader nor the follower demonstrated much on the creativity front.
I would be surprised if it was widespread before that period, since that was about the time "sucks" started to shake off its overwhelmingly vulgar roots.
Youkilis annoys me more than any specific Yankee. Anybody who constantly has the red-ass is annoying. When the Teixeira-for-Youkilis trade rumors were happening, well, I'd have made that deal in about 14 seconds just to get rid of him. I don't mind Papelbon, and still get a kick out of Manny.
Another read "I love NY too. It's the Yankees I hate."
I thought both were pretty funny and lacked any real venom. I don't have any real dislike for any particular Yankee player, past or present. The Corporate image they give off is a little unsettling, especially the sell-outs like Damon and Giambi getting hair cuts and shaves. Imagine Manny signing with the Yankees and cutting off the dreadlocks...I doubt it.
