I hate the Yankees, but I love the idea of the Yankees. It seems like they have spent the most for a hundred years. They're always the team to beat. It is fun to root against them, it is fun to beat them. Parity kills the drama somewhat. Dynasties are fun.
There's no cinderella stories, no underdogs if everyone is equal.
It does suck for teams like the Jays though who have to play in a division with both the red sox and yankees.
Pedro pitching in Yankee stadium should be quite the show. As a long time Pedro fan, it is a nice treat to see him get one last kick at the cat in a very meaningful game. Could go very well, or very badly.
