NY Yankees = Baseball's Evil Empire:

Gleaned this off a current news diary off Daily Kos:

With baseball season finally upon us, where does your team's owner rank on the asshole-o-meter?

In early February, a US Patent and Trademark Office court in Washington, DC, confirmed what baseball fans had suspected for more than a century: The New York Yankees are evil.

After an internet startup, Evil Empire Inc., had attempted to trademark the phrase "Baseball's Evil Empire," the Yankees filed an injunction, and the panel of judges agreed. As the court put it, "The record shows that there is only one Evil Empire in baseball and it is the New York Yankees." If only it were true. The ranks of Major League Baseball owners include some of the richest men—and they are almost exclusively white males—in the country, as likely to open their wallets for a super-PAC as they are a top-shelf free agent. Viewed in the context of the competition, with its anti-discrimination settlements and SEC investigations, the Yankees are, like their Opening Day roster, fairly pedestrian.

Now if only the Chicago Cubs weren't so often Big Time losers, I could call it a good week. (And maybe this is the year for the Cubs?)
