....the weather is warm and dry, the birds are singing in the trees,
political discourse heats to a frenzy...and the Billionaire Boy's Club
Yankees savagely disappoints its fans once again.

In other words, things are pretty much as they should be.

Hey: whatever happened to YankeeFan? Bwahahahaha! (<----I'd prefer it
if you heard that manical laughter as coming from Vincent Price, thank
you very much.)

Manical Laughter Reported Over Bronx Skies (AP) 23 minutes ago

Citizens have reported a maniacal laughter which seems to emanate from
the sky in a roughly 35 mile radius from Yankee Stadium in the Bronx,
NY. FAA officials were reached but had no comment, but most citizens
seem to think the laughter is related to the New York Yankees baseball
team, who were in Detroit facing elimination in the American League
Division Series.


"I sorta sounds like Vincent Price, with lots of reverb," said one
crestfallen Yankee fan. He pulled the radio earplug from his ear,
angrily jammed it into a trashbin then uttered an epithet about George
Steinbrenner, and walked away.


"That's not funny!," yelled one rotund Yankee fan, dressed in what
looked like $2000 worth of Yankee jersey, cap, and other memorabilia.
He seemed to be crying, and it looked as if he'd spilled pea soup all
over his shirtfront, the back of which read "A-Rod."


The laughter seemed to gain in volume as the Detroit Tigers took a 6-0
lead into the 5th inning.


"Man, that is some creepy (stuff)!," one woman said as she emerged from

a beauty salon in the shadows of Yankee Stadium. "But I think it's
funny. I'm a Mets fan. Last I heard the Yankees were being shut out
into the 6th. Any word on the score?"


An audio recording reveals a constant maniacal, hideous laughter, like
that heard in many old Hollywood horror films. Speculation is rife, but

no one is sure what the ultimate source is, nor its causes.


"It sorta sounds like 'Muahahahahaha...Bwahahahahahah...like that.You
hear it yourself. What do you make of it?," said Joe Malik, who claimed

he is not a baseball fan anymore, since the Yankees kept trying to buy
a pennant and kept failing. "What really turned me off," said Malik,
"was the Yankee die-hard fans, who seemed to think they deserve to win
it all every year, as if they were entitled by birth. And they were
arrogant and always making excuses for why their overpaid free agents
always choked in the clutch. Why? What happened today? Did they blow
another season, choking?"


When informed that the Yankees had been eliminated yet again, Malik
walked off, mimicking the infernal laughter from the skies.
