it's not hate. yankees fans are like dallas cowboys fans, anything less than winning it all is a failure and people have to be fired and others bought/brought in. glad they got another one, but i really hope this isn't the start of another 4-5 year period of their "domination"...no salary cap in baseball just hurts sometimes.

![]() That is seriously the stupidest fucking thing I have ever heard. Did Boston buy their two as well? How do you buy a World Series? I guess not winning in 9 years means somehow they bought one? Or maybe, just maybe... it's not the money that wins championships as you have seen the past 9 years? You Yankee haters are all the same, dumber than shit and logic eludes you. |

No other team in baseball has the ability to just go out and pick up Burnett, Sabathia, and Teixiera in an off season. The Yankees had a good shopping list of free agents to pick from and everyone for the most part stayed healthy this year, throw in $201,000,000 and you get a World Series. |

I was thinking about Game 6 yesterday afternoon, and I thought to myself, "What would ESPN use as the headline on their front page if the Yankees close it out tonight?" I thought "27th Heaven" would be a good choice. Well, guess what???

![]() Rivera, Jeter, Posada, Cano, Cabrera, Gardner, Hughes, Chamberlain, Robertson - The only players on that list that actually did anything good in the World Series were Rivera, Jeter, Robertson & Chamberlain. Your 3 starters who helped you win were all bought. Damon and Jeter were the only ones actually hitting during the Series as well as Matsui. Another player who was bought. Bruney was not from your farm system. 2004 - Pay Roll 127mill 2007 - Pay Roll 148mill and half that team was Red Sox Farm Players who actually contributed - Pedroia, Youk, Pap, Ellsbury, Varitek, Lester, Delcarman Last edited by Lil Ze' : 11-05-2009 at 11:02 AM. |

Speaking of spending stupid money, how is Dice-K working out for you guys? Hypocrite, our list of farm raised talent is greater than yours and you still say we bought the championship.

Oh, and Pettitte was bought? How do you figure? He started his career with the Yankees, decided he wanted to spend more time at home with his kids and wanted a lesser role so he thought he would fit in Houston's line up and realized he made a mistake and came back.
You really don't know shit about sports, do you? |

I dont see a problem with spending .. If your team is able to spend the damn money spend it fuck sitting on it like the Bucs do. The yankees just picked guys that worked out for them this year. CC was great unlike most of the #1's they have had recently. Mark teixeira was a beast except for the World series. Aj Burnett was up and down i think alot of teams had better #2 then him. The Yankees , RedSox, Cubs will always spend the most and the Rays, Marlins , Twins and A's will always spend the least. That is just the way it will always be

As far as Andy Pettite in the downside of his career by the by has made been paid 37.5 million dollars for 3 years work. You're right he wasn't bought, no not at all. If there was a Salary Cap the league would be more competitive and the same teams wouldn't always be first and last. I'd say the reason 90% of the teams payrolls are so high are because of the Yankees and trying to outbid in free agency. You really don't know shit about your team, do you?
