Yankees fans were deprived of their favorite anti-Red Sox chant taunt, "1918", with Boston's 2004 World Series championship. The Yankees, of course, have not taken home the trophy since 2000.
With the drought reaching seven years and counting, is it time to begin retaliatory chants next season? While "two-oo thou-sand" doesn't really scan well, "twen-tieth cen-tury" or "last mill-enn-ium" both work reasonably well, despite aiming a bit high in expecting Yankees fen to grasp the meaning and feel appropriately annoyed and/or diminished, which is what a good taunt should achieve.
Has it been long enough to begin the payback?
Would it be more crushing to impose this during the last season of Yankee Stadium, or be a bit more respectful and wait to sully the new park in 2009 (taking the minute risk that the Yankees win it all in 2008 and short-circuit the opportunity)?
And what about ARod? When was the last time the standing league MVP left his team?
