The Yankees have lots of money. The Yankees have lots of big name players. The Yankees waste too much money of big name players.


No stupid, just cause your a sox fan doesnt mean you can just hate on the yankees, their big name players are good, so shove it a.****


That is your argument. Wow, I couldnt have expected more from a rookie. Heres where I stand: the Yankees need to find more franchise players like Posada and Jeter. Clearly signing big name players such as Abreau, Rodriguez, Damon, Giambi is not working out for them. Sure some of them do good jobs for example A-Rod, you cant argue that he isnt bringing someting to the team. The Yankees havent won a World Series since 2000 now. If you look back at their team then it was full of..."Yankees Players", not guys that are there for the money and a shot at a ring, true players that truley want to play for an amazing team


UMMMM...IM A YANKEE FAN AND I KNOW RIGHT FROM WRONG. TAKE A LOOK AT YANKSLIFER OR WHAT EVER HIS STUPID NAME IS....HE IS RIGHT!!!!!!!! 86 YEARS, Y'ALL ARE LOSERS. BY THE WAY WHAT DO YOU MEAN BY "YANKEE PLAYERS'


What is so necessary about writing in ALL CAPS? You know right from wrong, because your a Yankee fan. Please explain that to me, because there is something there that I'm just not getting. And what do I mean by Yankee Players. Jeter, Posada, Bernie Williams, Paul O'Neill, Soriano, Tino Martinez, Mariono Rivera, Pettite, Ramiro Mendoza, Orlando Hernandez, and David Cone. Those at the time were what i would say were True Yankee Players. I just dont see Abreau and that crew being True Yankee Players


sorry yankslifer, didnt mean to rip on ya, but i dont really care. This site s.u.c.ks....im never coming back. Im gonna be the first one to man up and leave hopefully to set an example for people who just apparently are awful at "throwing down"

Is the argument basically that the Yankees waste money on big ticket Free Agents and still get nowhere anyway?

CJ, it took 84 years for your team to understand that, I wouldn't preach it to us.

Since 2000, the Yanks and BoSox have won the World Series the same # of times, but the Yankees have made the World Series more times in the new millennium than the Red Sox (3 for Yanks, 1 for Sox).

You have to be kidding me.....I'm thinking of switching my vote to CJ, just because it seems Mike likes to alienate those who agree with him.

Wow, Mike.

Not a good start.

And how did the Red Sox get involved in this?

Mike, make better arguments and leave out obscenities, and you might win. I'm still looking for the debate in all of this. This reads more like a spitting contest into a high wind than an argument.

LEt's look at all the "yankees" that won the series (keep in mind these guys were "bought" from other teams)
David Cone
David Wells
Chucky Knoublouch
Scott Brocious
Paul Oniell
Jeff Nelson
Mike Stanton
Joe Giradi
Mike Lowell
Tino Martinez
Darryl Strawberry

So how the heck is this new for the Yankees, it just hasn't worked because they made bad decisions in personell, but ti aint like it hasnt worked historically....
