They said it, not us. On Wednesday's, MSNBC "MORNING JOE," between regular denoucinations of the Yankees. Let's go to the videotape.
MIKA BRZEZINSKI: Joining us now live from Capitol Hill, Democrat from Ohio and member of the Senate Banking Committee, Senator Sherrod Brown.
JOE SCARBOROUGH: And an Indians fan, Barnicle tells us. Barnicle, do you want to ask the Indians fan the first question?
MIKE BARNICLE: Well, no, because they have low scale on their payroll. I don't want to upset him; it's too early in the morning.
SCARBOROUGH: Why? You mean -- is he going to have to suffer through another bad Indians season?
BARNICLE: I think so.
SHERROD. BROWN: You know, Joe, Barnicle needs to understand, rooting for the Red Sox is like rooting for the drug companies. I mean --
BRZEZINSKI: Oh, wait a minute!
SCARBOROUGH: That's the Yankees!
BROWN: They steal players --
SCARBOROUGH: You can't say that!
BROWN: Yeah, well, the Yankees -- the Red Sox have become a lot like the Yankees.
WILLIE GEIST: Thank you. That's correct.
BROWN: They're this big machine. Their fans are a little bit -- just a little bit over the edge, so that it's just uncomfortable for the rest of us. Joe Morgan --
BARNICLE: Senator, your version --
BROWN: Well, wait a second. Joe Morgan said on TV one time, he said baseball's the greatest sport ever because the owners have tried to ruin it for 100 years and it's still a great sport.
And when the Red Sox and the Yankees act that way, it's just -- you know. Anyway, back to business.
GEIST: Sorry about that.
BARNICLE: Senator, I saw you sit one night in Fenway Park, right across from me, a Red Sox-Yankees game.
BROWN: I know. Miserable. It was miserable.
BARNICLE: And you were rooting hard for the Red Sox.
BROWN: No, no, no, no. (Laughter.) It was a Red Sox- Indians game.
SCARBOROUGH: Yes, you were.
BROWN: It was when you guys knocked Cleveland out of the playoffs. It was a Red Sox-Indians game, Barnicle. So get your story right. I never would go to a Red Sox-Yankee game because I wouldn't know what to do, except eat. (Inaudible) -- so I just have to eat popcorn.
