Remember yesterday, when I was faced with a choice between encouraging hatred of the Yankees and I resisted, wanting to raise my child in a positive, live-and-let-live way? I felt good about my decision 24 hours ago. Today, not so much.

Why? Just take a peek at the back cover of the Daily News.

Oh, Yankees. Why, oh why must you make the hate so hard to resist? “The Little Team that Could”? Really? Just for that, each member of your team should have to stand in a line and get slapped by every Pirates and Royals fan in the country.
