    Xanga SoCal Meet-Up Friday #1

    Right now Major League Baseball is in the middle of its two League Championship Series.  Because the Los Angeles Dodgers and the Los Angeles Angels are both this deep in the playoffs, there exists a very real possibility that there will be an all Southern California World Series.  I've read several sports editorials and opinion columns saying that this would be a disastrous World Series, as no one outside of California would care to watch it.  Rather, a World Series involving the New York Yankees would be far more riveting.

    Now, it's been a long standing American tradition for the media to have an East Coast bias, so it really doesn't surprise me that sports writers would write drivel like that.  The thing about New Yorkers is that they think that New York is the greatest city and that the world revolves around them.  It's true that the New York Yankees have fans in all parts of the country, but it's also true that New Yorkers are annoying about making everyone know they're from New York.  But, the reality is that, no matter what New Yorkers think, no one else cares about them.  I couldn't care less about your tall buildings, your rivalry with Boston, Madison Square Garden, or the fucking subway system.  And,what the fuck is the big deal about a flat, greasy pizza?  I'd rather have a bacon-wrapped street hot dog any day.

    Here on Xanga, there seems to be a lot of New York bias as well.  I'm always reading about "Xanga Meet-Ups" in New York.  Today, I'm presenting the first in a series of Xanga SoCali Meet-Ups.
