Yankees 1, Major League Soccer 0

↵
↵The Bronx is getting testy. Nevermind the New York media railing on the team’s performance, or the national pundits cracking on attendance problems at the new Yankee Stadium. When a Major League Soccer official -- in this case commissioner Don Garber -- so much as mentions empty seats at a home game for the Bombers, the big guns come out.

↵Take it away, Yankees president Randy “The Butcher” Levine:↵↵⇥“Don Garber discussing Yankee attendance must be a joke,” Levine said Friday. “We draw more people in a year than his entire league does in a year. If he ever gets Major League Soccer into the same time zone as the Yankees, we might take him seriously.”↵↵Levine’s right: the Yankees sell about 1 million more home tickets per season than the entire MLS. With one-third the games. Back to drawing board, Garber.↵
