And so it was that from the Bronx a decree was sent forth and was heard throughout the land; a caveat irrevocably added to an old saying. Once it was said, and this so often with great pomp and snarkitude, "Don't mess with Texas." Let us take a moment to note the weighty and powerful asterisk now permanently attached to this saying, along with its requisite disclaimer which reads: *Unless of course you are New York, in which case Texas will inevitably be spanked for three days and counting.*
Go Yankees!

(Just so we're clear, I love Texas; some of my favorite people live there.  I also like the Rangers... except when they're playing the Yankees.)
