Baltimore, Wall Street again tied for first in AL East

[Jack Rabbit]

The Baltimore and the Wall $treet Yankee$ are again tied for for first place in the American League Eastern Division after the Orioles downed the Boston Red Sox moments ago, 4-3.

Earlier today, the Yankees lost to the Toronto Blue Jays, 3-2.

The magic number for either team to clinch the Eastern Division title for 2012 is 5. The magic number for either team to clinch a playoff spot is 2 over the fading Los Angeles Angels, who were rained out in Texas today.

1. Ahh. The junior circuit. I forgot that they called that baseball, also.

3. They only call it baseball for want of a better word

You know, kinda like the way they called the Frat Boy president for eight years, although he never won an election?

BTW, The Pirates won tonight.

5. Yes. The Pirates won tonight. Against the Red's in the Senior Circuit. nt

6. Since when is Wall Street in the Bronx?

[Jack Rabbit]

7. Since the Yankees were bought by the Steinbreener family

Next question, please.

8. You would perhaps prefer their previous owners?

That'd be CBS.

Corporations are people, my friends.

9. Steinbrenner Family Made Their Wealth in Shipping. Red Sox Owner Made His Fortune in Finance.

John William Henry II (born September 13, 1949) is an American futures and foreign exchange trader and businessman. He founded John W. Henry & Company (JWH). He is the principal owner of the Boston Red Sox and Liverpool Football Club, and co-owner of Roush Fenway Racing. In March 2006, Boston Magazine estimated his net worth at $1.1 billion, but noted that his company had recently experienced difficulties.[1] In May 2007, reports in the Wall Street Journal[2] and Bloomberg noted further difficulties with the firm.

If any team is owned by Wall Street, it's the Red Sox. But hey, let's not let facts get in the way of a good ole fashion hate fest.

10. That's what all the haters call them.

They're all just jealous!
