"Believe it, Cashman is embarrassed as anyone over the Yankees'
bloated payroll and equally sensitive to the recurring charges that he
merely bought a world championship. "

Admitting you have a problem is the first step toward a cure........
For the Dark Side, there is no cure.
BTT
File under:
Ya THINK?!?
This WS victory, # 27, is simply eating them up alive. But they really
shouldn't be so upset. The Sox can easily catch TEE with just another 24 WS
victories!
SOX - 138 million
TB - 43 million
TB wins. Another in a very long line of amusing anecdotes.
That's really all it is an amusing anecdote.
The real question is "how come the Yankees have only won once in the
last 9 years?"
At somepoint since 2000 the Yankees had.....
.....the highest paid catcher in baseball....(Posada)
.....the highest paid firstbaseman ..twice (Giambi, Teixeira)
.....the highest paid shortstop (Jeter)
.....the highest paid thirdbaseman (Rodriguez)
.....the highest paid DH (Sheffield)
.....the highest paid #1 starting pitcher.....three times (Clemens,
Mussina, Sabathia)
.....the highest paid #2 starting pitcher...twice (Brown,Burnett)
.....the highest paid closer (Rivera)
And of course the highest paid flop in history when they $28 million
for Roger's 6-6 record in 2007.
I'm sure I missed a few.
The question that needs to be answered is how can a team pick every
player it wants and still fail to win the World Series for 8 straight
years? It is a record of incompetence that may stand longer than the
56 game hitting streak.
Madden has it right. Cashman knows the truth.
You can buy a championship....but you can't buy the respect of your
peers.
I heard they're goin' after him.
Yeah, and the Yankees were in 3rd place that year. Eddie sure picked
an amusing anecdote to illustrate his "point" :-)

24? not only are you stupid, it's impossible for you to learn,
Law of averages says NY is his best chance.

You sure like to show your ignorance, don't you? Oh well, they have filters
for people like you, welcome to it.

That's what we love about you Gio. A Yankee fan plonking a Yankee troll.
And therein lies the difference.
Not surprisingly, you aren't from NY.
And what does that last sentence make you, if not a troll?
Isn't that a tunnel in NY?
It should be, since they named quite a few places in NY after Dutch cities.
Yes...thank you
It's the right thing to do.....
Exactly. The $ox bought rings in 04 and 07 but ESPN voted them as
having "the most obnoxious fans in the world".
STILL no dope-free WS in over 90 years.

The W/S of '04 and '07 were known as the Boli Bowls!

Don't be so critical of the Yanks.
By the way, as long as you are posting here, this newsgroup won't be
dope-free.
Good one......I was trying to figure how to spin that back at him
