ALDS 2010: Yankees vs Twins

MedicCook · 10-08-2010, 10:34 PM

I love it when people complain about the Yankees spending money and buying championships. They play under the same rules as everyone else and pay the most in taxes to the other teams and they never complain once about it. How does it feel to be a Pirates fan to find out that the team has been making millions of dollars in profit al these years and they still refuse to spend the money on the team and put a winning group together. The Yankees will gladly have a losing revenue season if it means winning the World Series. Other fans can only wish they had an ownership that would do that.

Well said and so true.

Just saw this chart.
Appears a bit more realistic than the first one posted although a bit surprising to see the midwest numbers.

Well, at least they have the State Fair once the winter ends.

The two charts are for two completely different topics. "How do you feel about" and "Game picks". Just sayin'.

So true, Joel. Yet I must submit that, were I in your spikes, I'd be more concerned about your Phillies than my Yankees. Just sayin'.

Hopefully the Yankees hold down the Twinkies.

The Phils are the only thing I'm worried about.

Have to play whoever is in front of you, "One game at a time". I'm still enjoying the others series though.

FWIW I picked before all of the divisional series started, Yankees, Rangers, Giants and Phils. If that turns out to be true, I think both the NLCS and ALCS would be entertaining and close series. But, I know you don't like to "pick" series, Thomas. To each, his own.
