That'll show 'em.  TWELVE times!

Hah!  Could you be referring to Fenway or Yankee stadium?  Either way, I scoff
in your general direction.  I think the last time I witnessed such a witty 
retort was when I was in fifth grade discussing the merits of Pud from Bazooka
Joe vs. Jughead.

Wait a minute.  I guess I'm just a stupid Ass (sic) for responding to such
a hilarious parody on baseball fandom!  This is some kind of joke, isn't it?

I can certainly detect Valentine's sarcasm here.  Don't you see it?  Don't you
get us Red Sox fans?

You Toronto fans can't even spell the word rivelry.

A main Yankee fan.  Is that a Yankee fan from the state of Main?  Or could it
be that Valentine is just a secondary Yankee fan?  Tertiary?  In any event I
doubt that even the mainest of main Yankees fans would feel offended.

Hey I've got no problem with this ersatz rivaly.  Nothing really that heated
since George "the karate kid" Bell kicked Bruce Kison.  It's been a good race
between the Jays and Sox every year since '85.  No complaints here.

I haven't had this many laughs since "The Ghost and Mrs. Muir"'s triumphant run
on television.

Hey! That's great!  I'm using it!
