I planned on just talking about how happy I am that Peyton Manning finally won another Superbowl in today's opening paragraph, but the Yankees Twitter was on absolute fire yesterday. So I'll just let them do my talking for me.
It started with this:
#BadValentineIn5Words: I'm a Red Sox fan. pic.twitter.com/REdgzIppF0
— New York Yankees (@Yankees) February 8, 2016
Then some random person said this:
@Yankees Twitter account > @Cubs Twitter account
— Liam (@liamgordd) February 8, 2016
Which, in turn, led to this:
Well now you've gone and done it. @liamgordd @Yankees
— Chicago Cubs (@Cubs) February 8, 2016
And the finishing touch:
We're new to this poll thing @Cubs. Do the #Yankees have ...
— New York Yankees (@Yankees) February 8, 2016
Brutal. But eventually the Cubs reminded the Yankees that we're all friends:
@Yankees Thought we were friends. pic.twitter.com/pSfTKn4iao
— Chicago Cubs (@Cubs) February 8, 2016
So the Yankees agreed to put the animosity away and be friends:
@Cubs Fine, friends. pic.twitter.com/xTfTNkIBZE
— New York Yankees (@Yankees) February 8, 2016
So yeah, that happened. And this also happened:

Woo-hoo!
In other baseball news, the Diamondbacks signed Tyler Clippard to a two year/$12.5 million deal and the Blue Jays agreed to a two year/$29 million deal with AL MVP Josh Donaldson to avoid arbitration. Obligatory "BUNT YOU, Billy Beane."

Jake wins for the above reason. Good job, Jake!
Fun Questions
- Do you have a TV show you watch/record to just have background noise but you don't really care about?
- Mountain Dew: Yum or Yuck? (Note: Choosing "Yuck" is a ban-able offense)
Song of the Day
Boogie Wonderland by Earth, Wind, & Fire
It's Earth, Wind, & Fire week on Pinstripe Alley. And since I'm still happy and celebrating the Broncos' Superbowl victory, I'm just boogie-ing all over the place. Might as well make this thread a Boogie Wonderland. As always, please link us your song of the day.
Feel free to use this as your open thread for the day. Seriously though, I'm still so happy about the Superbowl, as boring a game as it may have been for everyone else.
