Barstool Sports Will No Longer Cover The Embarrassing Yankees

Boston- Barstool Sports' Jamie Chisholm announced today that newspaper/website will no longer devote any significant coverage to the New York Yankees, a professional baseball team noted for its long-run of success last century.

"The Red Sox have a 13.5 game lead on the last place Yankees," Chisholm said, "Barstool Sports isn't going to waste our valuable time covering a $200 million team that throws a parade anytime they win two games in a row."

"As a Boston-based global media behemoth, Barstool Sports has a responsibility to alert our readers to actual threats to the Red Sox's dominance," Chisholm said, "Not perceived threats based on an outdated mode of thought that convinces some Sox fans that the 2007 Yankees don't suck despite all the evidence to the contrary."

Barstool Sports will focus more attention on the Baltimore Orioles, the Red Sox's closest competitor in the division, as well as the Cleveland Indians, Detroit Tigers, Chicago White Sox and Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim, four teams the Red Sox could likely face in the postseason. Barstool Sports will also devote additional time to the New York Mets, a New York-based sports team that in the words of Chisholm, "actually matter."

While Barstool will no longer focus on the Yankees, the site will make mention of significant events that come out of the Bronx. "When Steinbrenner finally loses it and cans Cashman and Torre or trades Hughes and Cano or when Clemens comes back and throws five mediocre innings for a team that's 15 games out of first place and makes $1,000,000 for his efforts, we'll make mention of that," Chisholm said, "But on a day-to-day basis, the Yankees are dead to us."

Resident Yankees fan/Barstool Sports writer Peter Manzo was informed of the new direction of Barstool Sports and understands the change. "There comes a time in every Yankees fan's life when you have to open up your eyes," Manzo said, "13.5 games back on Memorial Day tells me everything I need to know about the 2007 Yankees."

"Looks like it's time to dig my Mets jersey out of the closet."

Chisholm did add that he will be posting all the comments from Barstool readers that called him "crazy," "retarded," and "a fucking idiot" for continually proclaiming that the Red Sox would walk away with the AL East. "But once I post that," Chisholm said, "I'll get back to the important stuff like finding Hayden Panettiere photos and searching YouTube for freak sports injuries."
