Kerry wants to abolish the Yankees!

:evilgrin:

ESPN: When you get into office, would you consider passing an executive order that would prevent Pedro from signing with the Yankees?


KERRY: I'd consider an executive order that abolishes the Yankees. We'll have to set up some very strict regulations with respect to Yankee behavior.

1. Face it, even an Exec Order won't be enough to lift the pathetic
BoSox curse.

1918.

Oh yeah...GO YANKEES!

3. You know this is the only issue I strongly disagree with
when it comes to Kerry.

I'm still gonna bust his balls about being a Sox fan just before I give the man a warm hug (if he ever comes to Tucson)

Incidently, you Red Sox fans who took this remark gleefully, I think the term "evil empire" would then pass onto you given the fact that if the Yanks didn't exist the Red Sox would be the club that "buys all its victories"

6. I am an O's fan, I want the yanks out so we can maybe even finish in first
after all we do good against the sox.

4. Nah... I don't care about that... but could he
Sign an order to move up football season a bit? Some of us are starting to get the shakes. :scared:

5. I've got it! Sign an exec order moving the BoSox to Las Vegas!
Screw the Expos, send the Sox here! Then I'd be able to go to all of the Yankees' away/Sox games right here. Vegas wants a major league team...but we'd settle for the BoSox.

We've already got a New York/New York casino on The Strip. Why not open a Beantown casino as well (actually, there is a local casino called Beano's on Lake Mead Blvd. That may have to do. The odds there aren't great. You get sucked in on the small action, but the big win never seems to materialize)? Maybe they could re-theme the Aladdin...get Linda Ronstadt to sing the National Anthem....

It might be the only way to lift the curse. Plus, there's plenty of open space here. The Sox could build a major-league size stadium and tear down Fenway. Ted Williams could finally rest easy...wherever he's chilling these days...

Thanks!

11. Don't know. Those of us who live here know better than to gamble here.

10. Will Kerry support Matcom posting his naked butt here on DU
Should the Phillies win the world series?

(still remember the bet we made back in Boston. Yes, Reds are still my favorite team but lets face it, Phillies were my best bet to win a World Series)
