It's just a given that they own the World Series, cause they paid for it.
I love watching good ball, too, and the Yanks sure delivered this year. It's been an amazing season for them.
That game last night, for instance. It was a thing of beauty. I definately got my money's worth, and I ain't got a dime in it.
The Angels definately threw the kitchen sink at them, even if they came up way short.

I did hear a comment Buck made about Scott Kazmir that I'm still shaking my head about. He said the Angels picked up Kazmir specifically because he was a Yankee stopper. I must have missed that along the way.
Kazmir has never played up to my expectations, and I really never had any.
Yankee stopper? Where'd that come from?
I'd go look at his box scores, but I figure you guys might have the numbers in your head, and I'm busy. And lazy.

Funny how that all works out.
Freaking Diamond Backs and Marlins!!! Thorns. Or Boston in '04. Thorns!!!

When we get one, we bought it.
When we don't, we overpaid and didn't get it.

Meantime, anyone check the payroll of the Mets as an example?
Where did they end up this year?
Quite a few others like that.
It happens. Money doesn't always do it. However, like they say with the Lotto, you have to be in it to win it.

That is funny stuff there about Kazmir.
