Why don't New York Yankees fans' believe that their teams old for Baseball and are "has beens?" ?

Question

Compared to the Rays and Red Sox, the Yankees are spent. The Yankees are now not as energetic as the Houston Astros, who always turn it on in the second half or the 2007 Colorado Rockies who won this Nations heart and love with their great September run in 2007.

Answer 1

How can i put this in a simple way you can understand

The Yankees are loved and disliked by many people and will always be like that, and the last 3season have made pushes in the second half and this year they are still in it in the Wild card, we play Boston on Tuesday and it will be critical serious.

Okay the Yankee Announcers, like the Yankee Players and True Yankee Fans know what they need to do to get in to the Playoffs

and simple all teams have Die hard fans and Bandwagon fans  

Answer 2

because they're good fans that dont give up on their team. seeing that you cant understand this means that you are probably a bandwagon fan that most likely gives up on your team when they start losing but supports them when they win.

Answer 3

Actually, you're wrong, I live in NJ and most of the Yankees fans I know do believe that the team is past its prime, but they're true fans and will continue to root for them.

They also think Hank is a joke!!

Answer 4

the rays don't have ANY fans. if you've watched any games at all , there's nobody at the home games unless they play boston or ny

in case you haven't noticed the yanks are still only 5 games worse than your sox

Answer 5

Yankee fans are loyal to their team win or lose not like the Red Sox or this season the Rays & I am not saying the Yankees have their share of bandwagon fans but there are more fans like this who root for Boston & this seaon the Rays.  Red Sox fans may be true but they also have the biggest bandwagon fan club too & do they or are they allowed in the so called Red Sox Nation

Answer 6

I'm a Yankees fan and I believe the team as it is right now is washed up and old.  But I truly don't believe that Baby Steinbrenner cares.  He just wants the team to be competitive so people will still fill the seats.

Answer 7

because we care about are team... unlike the red sox cause half of all the red sox fans are bandwagoners that started following them after 04.

Answer 8

Because they know, just like you do in your heart, that if we perform in this last half better than the Red Sox, we will be in the playoffs again.  Especially with the year we've had, that would be great.

Answer 9

Because The Yankees Are Famous For Turning Around A Bad Season  

Answer 10

First of all, if you think the Red Sox don't have bandwagoners, you're fooling yourself. I'm a Yankees fan and realize we have bandwagoners, too. But most Yankees fans I know are real deal fans who get behind their team in good times and bad.

Second, the Yankees are a decent team that's been bit by the injury bug and still have a chance to go to the playoffs. They're far from has-beens. Save your inaccurate trash talk for people who don't know about baseball.  

Answer 11

Because they are actual fans, they stay with their team and defend them no matter what

Answer 12

Yeah, were actually real fans. Not Bandwagnors Rays fans

Answer 13

first off there are tons of bandwagon Red Sox fans.. and I hate it, I really do.

The Yankees annoucers are obnoxious meatheads.  'cept for Sterling he does a good job.

Yankees fans stubbornly defend their team, they are loyal...  It's no use trying to get them to agree with you... and heck why would you want them too... I can't stand most of em.  They are morons that think their team isn't old and are aren't has beens.

edit: why would a Red Sox fan tell a Yankee fan that they were proud of 78?   That was the year of the Boston Massacre and The Bucky Dent Homre Run... see that's my point--there are tons of bandwagon Red Sox fans.

Answer 14

Any Yankees fan that thinks they have a chance to still make the playoffs is delusional.
