Yankee Fans Need To Block Out The Haters

In the event that you missed it, The Yankees are back. The beginning of the year stunk but we’re back to .500 and all we have to do it go out and win a few more games than we lose the rest of the year and we’re in the playoffs. Yeah we’re not in a playoff spot yet but this is simply a checkpoint on the way so it’s important to take a second to appreciate it. I wrote last night that this was a good experience for us to build toughness as a fan base, but with our rise back to prominence we have to deal with an age old problem.

Yes thats right the haters are coming out. Before we sucked, and now it’s all about how pathetic it is that we are celebrating just getting back to .500. That right there is fear. So I want every Yankee fan to not feed into it at all. Let the Carrabisisis and KFCs of the world hate and let them hate hard. As Yankee fans, we thrive on hate. If us cheering makes KFC hate, then cheer louder.

We just saw how quickly everyone piled on us the first 6 weeks of the season so don’t forget that feeling. We’ve won 6 games in a row and this team still isn’t even close to their full potential so if and when that comes, the hate is only going to get worse. It’ll go from we suck, to Steinbrenner would be ashamed, right back to we buy our players and once we start to hear that, we’ll know that everything is right in the world. Until then, whenever you see a non Yankee fan talking about our team or fanbase just tell them “Don’t worry about what the fuck we’re doing.”

Let’s stay in our lane and blow passed everyone else because we’re back.
