Rooting for the Yankees is like...

"...rooting for US Steel." - comedian Joe E. Lewis
"...rooting for Microsoft." - modern variant

"...rooting for the house in blackjack." - Bill Simmons, ESPN.com
"...rooting for Ticketmaster, only with better T-shirts." - Jim Capel, ESPN.com
"...rooting for the Pentagon, only the Pentagon has a lower payroll." - Peter Leo, Pittsburgh Post-Gazette
"...rooting against the Joads in The Grapes of Wrath." - Bill Hatton, Philadelphia PA
"...rooting for gravity." - Gavin McMeeking, The Daily Californian
"...owning a yacht." - newspaper columnist Jimmy Cannon

7 games behind and, oddly enough, damn proud of it.
