The Yankee presence is weird

Someone mentioned it in another thread or on another board but it's weird how the Yankees are part and parcel of baseball even when they're not even playing.  

When I eavesdropped on Let's Go Tribe during the Tribe/Sux series, the Yankees came up in every single game.  They were ticked off that Torre was the big news and not their playoff game but they also mentioned the players and the fans (not favorably of course but WHY were they thinking about the Yankees when they were PLAYING the Red Sox???)

Then I eavesdropped on Purple Row (the Rockies blog) for the first two WS games and they constantly made comparisons to Jeter, Arod, Matsui (mostly not favorable, but why our players?).  They even noted that the longest regular season 9 inning games in history were Yankee-Red Sox (noting the patience of the RS batters).

I'm always lost in a Yankees world so I am used to Yankee fans and Mets fans and RS fans talking Yankees and I "sorta" understood the diaTribe from Cleveland, but the Rockies fans?  I didn't even know, up until this week, who even played for the Rockies yet they know all about us.

I don't think that if the Sux weren't in the WS people would be talking about them.  Why is everyone always talking about us?   Let it go people.
