So let me get this straight: you're sick of the "constant three ring circus and media hoopla," yet I'm the one who's "mad at the world"? Does that make any sense to you?

I hate the Yankees with a passion. Always have. But again, this isn't something MLB is forcing teams, fans, players to do. Think about that for a minute. If you've never seen anything like this before in MLB among peers and other professionals for a guy who is retiring, and you're wondering what the fuss is all about, shouldn't that tell you something?

And BTW, you said "no one is disagreeing he was great." Might want to re-read the thread.
