A phony Yankee fan that is:
BOSTON (AP) — Sounds like a baseball flip-flop. Rudy Giuliani, a lifelong New York Yankees fan, said Tuesday he’s pulling for their most hated rivals, the Boston Red Sox, to win the World Series over the Colorado Rockies.
“I’m rooting for the Red Sox,” the Republican presidential contender said in response to a question, sparking applause at the Boston restaurant where he was picking up a local endorsement.
“I’m an American League fan, and I go with the American League team, maybe with the exception of the Mets,” he said. “Maybe that would be the one time I wouldn’t because I’m loyal to New York.”
Giuliani’s Yankees lost in the first round of the playoffs, then lost their manager when Giuliani’s friend, Joe Torre, refused to accept a pay cut and walked away. Giuliani said the Yankees had “a great season.”
The former New York mayor said his declaration of temporary Red Sox loyalty was “not just because I’m here in Massachusetts.”
Yea sure Rudy.
No wonder he got booed the last time he showed his face at Yankees Stadium.
And, oh yeah, Go Rockies !

Rudy is an opportunistic, phony Yankee fan.
We prefer Mitt in NY.
