Why Are The Yankees And Their Fans Never Happy?
It seems like no matter how well things are going for them, they are never happy. Last night, they win 16-3 and instead of enjoying the win, they are mad that Alex Rodriguez didn’t hit his 500th home run.
Is being the World Series champion the only thing that makes them happy anymore? It would be sad if that is the case. That’s why it’s nice to be a fan of a smaller team. When they have their good years, you appreciate them more.

Comments on Why Are The Yankees And Their Fans Never Happy?
They are the Paris Hilton of baseball.
All you ever hear about,
spoiled brats,
whiners,
and embarrassing.
shoot I’m always happy when they win and I’m not mad that arod did not hit his 500 hr yesterday i was happy the team won that’s all that counts and winning a ws is fun i think everyone fan wants there team to win a ws but i appreciate every game they win win or loose I’m always going to be Happy because i know there trying there best to win for the fans
Who says that Yankee fans are never happy? I’m a Yankee fan and I enjoy watching or listening to my team very much, win or lose.
Yankee fans are not mad that A-Rod did not hit his 500th home run last night, but disappointed for him. It is ironic that on a night where the Yankees hit eight home runs as a team, that the leading home run hitter in the majors, a player who is on the brink of hitting his 500th, went homerless.
As for Yankee fans not being happy, I’m sure if they were not, the Yankees wouldn’t be averaging over 50,000 fans per game. That doesn’t sound like a team with unhappy fans to me, unlike many small market teams, who play to half-empty stadiums and collect revenue paid by the Yankees.
It is disappointing that the Yankees haven’t won in seven years, and it would make us happy if they won. The Yankees raised the bar tremendously when they won four world championships, and the postseason losses since have been very ugly, to say the least. However, we are not unhappy fans.
You have to be careful when making generalizations, and putting all Yankee fans under one huge umbrella. Yankee fans route very hard for their team and are always there to support them, win or lose. Those on Yahoo answers are just a very small sample, and do not accurately reflect the views of all Yankee fans.
I’m as happy as a pig in shitt!! 3 games out of the WC,Now 7 behind boston! Arod will get his 500th HR,that doesn’t bother me! i just want our team to be in the mix come OCT!! i don’t care who gets the HRs,,we just gotta keep winning!
according to me even i wouldnt be happy if my team
wins anything less than the world series
with a payroll of 200 mil. plus.
I for one was happy for the Yankee win. Whether A-Rod gets his 500th Hr or not don’t matter to me.
Their expectations are too high
Believe me Yankee fans were happy they won 16-3, but they just want A-Rod to hit 500.
The fans are used to winning world series and if the Yankees dont at least make the WS then they will be mad.
Its the way it rolls in Yankee town.
I think its because of his $25 Million Dollar contract.
Yankees fans want:
a. the annual championship;
b. that fans of other teams, particularly the Red Sox, SUFFER merely for the fact that they are not Yankees fans — and if the suffering comes by way of Yankee fan denigration, so much the better;
c. that others grovel before them;
and
d. to be loved.
And this despite that (b) and (c) pretty much make (d) impossible.
You can’t say that a whole group of people has the same reaction to everything. I was extremely happy that the Yankees won, and A-Rod’s 500th home run is bound to happen soon. Who said that Yankees aren’t “enjoying the win” and “are mad that Alex Rodriguez didn’t hit his 500th home run”? You’re acting as if everybody that’s part of a specific group is the same. That’s not true for almost everything. What makes you think that you know every single Yankee fans reaction to yesterdays game? And no, the World Series isn’t the only thing that makes Yankee fans happy. But, I must say, that achievement would make any real baseball fan happier than anything else that happened in that particular season. I appreciate the Yankees very much.
