Man I just love that argument. Will it ever get old? No way I am sure. Much easier to hate a team willing to spend money than to hate yours for not doing the same.;s |

What also cracks me up is the failure by folks to see that ALL teams buy their wins. That is the case by virtue of the fact that NO player plays for free. They all earn a salary to play and to win. Where did folks go wrong and lose sight that if you pay a player $1 and you win, you bought that win for $1. If you pay $1 Million and win, it just cost you more to win. If you are willing to pay more to win, and if you lose, you just go ahead and spend yet more to win next time, how is that so bad from the guy that still thinks he can win for $1 and is not? Man, it is just such a great feeling to be a Yankees fan since the late 60's. So much joy has been brought to my life for so many years. So many years of not having to say, "NEXT YEAR". So many years of not being upset of spending so much money to try to win again. 27 Championships 40 Pennants Life is GOOD!!!!:r |
Re: ALCS 2010: Yankees vs Rangers
Any fan of any team that says they would not want their team to spend money to bring better quality players and a better chance of winning to their team is full of it. :2

Re: ALCS 2010: Yankees vs Rangers
It's getting harder to argue that the smaller clubs don't have the coin to compete.
After the Marlins and Bucs had their $49 million and $30 Million in profits leaked this year, one has to wonder what a little reinvestment in the clubs would have done for them, both in the standings and future earnings. |

So, what you're telling me is that the days of a professional athlete playing his entire career for the same team are over and it's all about money now!!!!???? I'll never get tired of being a Yankee fan and still get emotional this time of year remembering my Dad taking me from his office in Newark to see the Yankees in the 70's and watching guys like Thurman Munson taking batting practice and hoping the Son of Sam didn't get us on our way back to the car. I miss my Dad every day but feel like he's on the couch with me every time I hear Sinatra playing and another trophy is hoisted. Not many of the Yankees haters even know what I'm talking about due to the fact it's called a tradition of winning. I'd probably be the same if I had to watch a different team lose year after year. The Yankees could loan them a dozen rings and still have one left over for each finger of their own and a few leftovers. I'm a bit sad that we're seeing the core guys like Posada, Mo, and even to a lesser extent Jeter, age before our eyes but know there's still plenty of money left over from George to keep "buying" enough championships for me to probable see #30 before I'm as old as Carlos is right now.:D |
Re: ALCS 2010: Yankees vs Rangers
Go Yankees!!

I remember so vividly, as if yesterday, in the mid 70's when Yankee Stadium was being renovated and they were playing at Shea. I would go over to the bullpen by right field, on the lower section, and talk to Thurman Munson as he caught some practice balls from the pitcher. Gave me a ball and all. He was such a great human being and such a huge loss of life so early. To this day, I still get chills when I see and walk into Yankee Stadium. I visited the new stadium last year and was there again this year. I think it is an annual trip must do for me now. Now, all that said, although a die hard Yankees fan, I am glad for Texas and Nolan Ryan. I hope we beat him but if we lose, no hard feelings. Heck, my season is a win win already. As long as Boston is not in the playoffs, I don't care if the Yankees win more than one game in the whole season.:r BTW, I too hope to be around for #30. |
Re: ALCS 2010: Yankees vs Rangers
I get goosebumps every time I see my little brother's cast that Thurman Munson signed after my brother broke his arm when he was like 5.
Thurman Munson didn't sign stuff. Grumpy old man. |
Re: ALCS 2010: Yankees vs Rangers
The way the Cowboys are playing, we need this. Go Rangers :)

However, I sure hope I get a chance to be pissed that this hat is obsolete. I hope I get the chance to have to make a decision to either replace it with a new one or can find a person to stitch that 7 into an 8. Only way I can assure that for myself is for Texas to fall.;s http://i152.photobucket.com/albums/s...o/77a95798.jpg |
Re: ALCS 2010: Yankees vs Rangers
First, let me go on record as saying I hate the Yankees...I'm a Red Sox fan and a Phillies fan, so my reasons are sound :D....But, I gotta say, money ain't an object....when they see a need, they spend and go fill it...2 years ago the 3 biggest free agents were CC, Texeira and Burnett....all 3 wound up in pinstripes....was I happy with it...no way...but I respect it...:2

Come on Pete, that was a lifetime ago. My butt is still hurting from when they came back down 3 games to nothing against the Yankees and went on to win the World Series. I have yet to get over that one. |

And, they thought Ruth was a lousy pitcher. I'm getting out of here. |

Re: ALCS 2010: Yankees vs Rangers
Keith,
ESPN did a whole 60 minute show the other night on that collapse with behind the scenes footage. I manged to watch the whole thing and, this is hard to say, felt glad for that crew with Shilling bleeding on the mound and a scruffy Johnny Damon and the others acting like a bunch of Little League kids. See, I can do it. I love baseball. |

2nd on my "butt hurts" list is that seventh WS game against the Diamondbacks. Man that one hurts almost as much, though not nearly. 3rd would be the Marlins. The freaking Marlins. Freaking fish that nobody goes to see other than in a World Series and they win. Freaking Beckett. Maricon!!! I think I have some unresolved issues.:r:r:r |

If Lee & Wilson throw lights out again...I like the Rangers in 5.

Re: ALCS 2010: Yankees vs Rangers
I'm actually enjoying baseball again for the first time since I was a kid. I'll freely admit this makes me a fair weather fan, but after the strike, the scandals, and factor in the time required to actually watch a freaking game, I had pretty much given up on baseball. Now, I'm excited about it again. And I think that's pretty cool. So I hope they don't blow it :)

Yankees in 6 games. CC wins Game 1, Andy pitches a close one against Lee in Game 2 but loses, Hughes goes 6 great innings in Game 3 then lets the bullpen finish it, AJ gets hammered in Game 4, CC takes Game 5, then Pettitte does what he does and slams the door in Game 6. Mark it down. ;) |

CC does not have his 'A' game tonight. Too much time since his last start.
