At the risk of starting a flame war that will require us to add 
baseball to banned subjects:  the Yankees are fizzling this year 
because their deal with the Dark Lord finally reached its expiration 
date.  As someone once famously said, "Rooting for the Yankees is like 
rooting for Walden Macnair."

You get a special dispensation for being a native New Yorker, but now 
that you've relocated you are instructed to cheer for a nice wholesome 
team like the Orioles.  The MOM is watching you.
