[Bucky has been doing some reading. Quite a lot of reading, about New York, and how it;s changed over the years he's missed, what's gone on -- well, as much as he can manage. And he has noticed one very important thing, here. He fixes the comm with a very serious look, before asking:]

....So, who do I need to yell at for not tellin' me the Dodgers left Brooklyn? Los Angeles doesn't even have trolleys, why do they need a team called the Dodgers.

[A little mutter:] At least the Mets are around, so we don't have to root for the Yankees.

Comments

[voice] for the record I'm on Bucky's side

[jurisimpudent]

Precisely what is wrong with the Yankees?

[voice] good for you, so am I :|

[deadandred]

What's not wrong with the Yankees?

[voice] Rich bastards

[jurisimpudent]

They've a remarkable win record. Is that not noteworthy?

[voice] With their constantly winning :|

[deadandred]

Only 'cause they do it too much.

[voice] I feel your feels. Used to live in Rhode Island. The state was drenched in a miasma of rage.

[jurisimpudent]

A foolish complaint. Be angry at your team for losing, not theirs for winning.

[voice] /pets I'm just bitter because I like the Cubs and they never win ever.

[deadandred]

Not gonna happen, sorry fella.

[voice] Ohhhhh ouch.

[jurisimpudent]

But that is indeed positively imbecilic. Would you be angry at a classmate who went to a good college after working hard for a great many years?

[voice] eh, i'm used to it by now

[deadandred]

[Have a little bit of a blink, Miles.] I'd be surprised if any of the fellas I knew went to college, to be honest.

[voice]

[jurisimpudent]

...Entertain the hypothetical.

[voice]

[deadandred]

Well, I gotta say I wouldn't be mad at 'em, but I'm still not gonna root for the Yankees.

[voice]

[jurisimpudent]

I'm not saying you must root for them. I'm simply saying that it's far from rational to be angry at someone for succeeding in what they have set out to do.

[voice]

[deadandred]

Whoever said sports fans were rational? Maybe I like rootin' for the underdog.

[voice]

[jurisimpudent]

How altogether sentimental.

[voice]

[deadandred]

I think maybe I've earned the right to be a little sentimental at this point.

[voice]

[jurisimpudent]

Is there more to that, or is that it?

[voice]

[deadandred]

Mm, nope, that's it. [Sorry, Edgeworth, sometimes he's a troll.]

[voice]

[jurisimpudent]

So you've earned sentimentality...by doing nothing.

[voice]

[deadandred]

Well, I don't wanna brag, see.

[voice]

[jurisimpudent]

I shall contain my astonishment with regards to your ego.

[voice]

[deadandred]

Fought for our country and died doing it, fella. So I'll take what sentimentality I can when it comes to my baseball teams.

[voice]

[jurisimpudent]

[A slight hesitation.]

Sorry. "Died"?

[voice]

[deadandred]

Well, unless you end up somethin' other than dead falling from a train into a frozen river at the bottom of a gorge, yeah, that's what I said.

[voice]

[jurisimpudent]

I take it you were brought here from just before that point, then?

[voice]

[deadandred]

The last thing I remember at home was falling. [....Well, the last thing he remembers clearly, anyway.]
