I just want them to lose because they're ALWAYS in the playoffs. Same with the Braves.

Reason why people dont like rich teams like that tis because they can't build their talent but they just PURCHASE it.

not really, i don't hate the yankees. I feel as much about their troubles as I do the Kansas city Royals. which is not much.

Maybe the Yankees could use the services of Tom Glavine. I'm sure Tom Horrific could help the Yanks return to the top of the division.


...please...take him.....

You notice how once they started "purchasing" their players they haven't won a world series?

jeter, williams, pettite, they were in the farm system....

True, but NYC is also a very large city, Yankees have a huge fan base, and there is a lot of money there. If you were to take a ratio of the amount of money spent on the team vs. amount of revenue brought in, I'm sure it would be a comparible ratio to that of say the red sox and other great teams.

Its like asking why Bill Gates would have x computers, x cars, x this and that. The answer is simply: "Because he is able to."

I guess my point is: If the other teams were to have a sudden surge in revenue, they would probably be more apt to spend more on players etc.

Fixed, agreed.

OK, it sucks to break it to you, but not ALL hatred in the world is jealousy, though for some reason a lot of people seem to think so:roll:

Yeah they have a few player that come out of their farm/draft,but the majority of them are not born as a yankees( specificly their pitching, beside rivera)

I want to see the yanks choke and not make the playoff, simple!And i wanna see Joe torre getting F I R E D !!!!

You don't like the rules, argue for a salary cap. I'd actually agree with you, and I'm a Yankees fan born & raised in NY. But hating them for doing what they can within the ruleset to win is ridiculous. That's like hating a player for using cleats or lifting weights.

Yes but not because I hate them, it's because I get a kick out of watching Stienbrenner have a caniption fit when they suck! They'll play better as the season goes as will the Red Sox.

:thumbsup:, I hate him too. The yankees were a better team with better character when they utilized the farm system more.
