The Yankees always have the biggest payroll, but they haven't won the World Series in a while. I remember when they played the Marlins in the World Series. The Marlins had like a $500 payroll and the Yankees had like a $10 trillion pay roll, and they still ended up losing. Maybe it's time to rebuild the team. Their owner is a dickhead. He should be the first to go.
Hey if your team doesn't make the playoffs for 12 straight years, and you have yet to even see a WS win.. you got no where to talk shit even you BoSox fans you think you're the shit you win 1 WS in 1,000 years.
Joe Torre is not the problem. Fire him, and alot of you players will leave with him. But that would be good for NY, because they need to rebuild. Signing Barry Bonds will only dig them into a deeper hole. They dont need a forty something head case close to retirement.
They won all those rings in the nineties with no names...none were perennial all stars. Jeter only cuz he's popular, but look at Jeters numbers every year. Not great...solid, but not GREAT. But he's clutch.....case in point A Rod...big numbers in the reg. season, but nothing in the post.
Pitching is what wins in the playoffs.....the Tribe has it, the Yankees dont. Pettitte and Rivera were the only two who were decent for NY. And both are old.
They need to keep Chamberlain, and rebuild with the youth.
But fuck em.....they got a madman for an owner. I dont feel bad for them. Arrogance will bring them down.
How was the Yankees going to possible stop Boston with that pitching staff??? They were terrible. THe Indians were a better team all year than NY....the difference? The Yankees get all the exposure, and they had an MVP candidate.Quote:

Still no love for Fausto Carmona???? That guy is unbelievable. ESPN needs to cover the other 30 teams in the MLB besides the Yanks and sox.
Well I Disagree I Still Think The Yankees Are The Better Team But Clevand Stepped Up And Come Through,In The Playoffs The Best Team Doesnt Always Win. I Just Think The Yankees Have The Best Team To Face The Red Sox Even Though The Bats Werent Alive They Can Hit With Boston And A Huge Key They Have Rivera. If You Have A Lead In The Ninth Theres No Way Borowski Is Gettin The Save Against The Red Sox I Hope I'm Wrong Though.
You Said Pettite And Rivera Were The Only Good Ones But Hughes Looked Pretty Good Too So Thats Exciting For Next Year.
how are we overrated? we werent supposed to make the playoffs but we did and we played a great team that had 96 wins.Quote:

Look at the shitty decisions, culminating last night with his decision to start Wang on 3 days rest instead of Mussina, Think about the number of young arms he has simply ruined by overuse. Personally I think he was getting senile. It was time to go.Quote:

Let's not forget. they played Baltimore and Tampa Bay 25 times after the break.Quote:

There is a laundry list of stupid decisions by Torre in that series.Quote:

You cant predict key injuries to a team. Theres alot of things that happend in a season that could turnout to be good or bad. This year we did so bad so early because of injuries to our pitching staff that resulted in bad starts from pitchers that werent unproven pitchers. If anything, we were underrated at that point of the season because we didnt have a healthy team so we couldnt showcase our full strength. If we didnt have so much injuries at the beginning of the year, in my opinion we would've won the east.
I see BeautifulRock dropped that sig, haha
