Chan Ho Park...

Well we aren't signing this guy, and that doesn't bother me too much. But when I saw the reasoning behind his decision, mainly this quote, I couldn't help but take note:

<!--quoteo-->QUOTE <!--quotec-->"I was deliberating on the Chicago Cubs and the Yankees, but their history <b>and championship contention</b> resulted in me picking the Yankees,'' Park said.<!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->

I look at a team like the Yankees versus our roster, and I can't help but think how far we are from being in "championship contention".

Seriously, if you were a FA and the Yankees were offering you a contract....why wouldn't you sign with them? If he would have picked us over them he would have been a fucking idiot.

I get that. But he doesn't have to be a doucheface about it.

Win a World Series with the Cubs and you're a fucking legend forever. Win a World Series with the Yankees? Ho-hum.

I would pass up a chance to be a legend forever for a very real possibility of being in the WS every year.

So why don't you cheer for the Yankees instead of the Cubs?

Because I am not a player that is a FA looking for the best chance to win.
