B2D327, did u see/know that flip play Jeter did? I missed it and can't get a hold of the video. Can you describe it to me if you saw it?

No team has ever lost a championship series being up 3 games thats a fact....that equals.. 4 count em 4 chokes.
Bill Buckner let 1 ground ball hop through his legs to lose a game...that equals 1 count em 1 choke.

You seem to keep ingoring the fact that the Yankees are in the biggest money market in the world, which generates enourmous capital to be spend on leaching superstars from other teams.Why not take that money and build a decent farm system?? because buying a team is easier for George and the yankees since they obviously dont have the know how to build talent on there own.

geez I didnt realize you played for the yankees...no wonder why your so damn defensive.

Players want to play for the Yankees because of the Benjamin's baby....if you don't realize that...your fooling yourself.

...blah, blah, blah. everybody playing in the major leagues is overpaid. I guess your hometown doesn't have a team worth rooting for or enough knowledge to develop their prospects.

players want to play, period, but I don't expect an overnight fan to understand that. I guess you'll pick a team when they come close to 20+ championships so talk to me in a couple of centuries. Good luck finding a San Antonio t-shirt tomorrow.

There you go again passing over all the good points I make, just by ignoring them.Instead of making good counter points, you just forget what i've said, and say I have no knowledge of this sport, or any other sport....you would make a great debater. ha ha ha <<<<< heavy sarcasm
Quote:
enough knowledge to develop their prospects.

ummm...what was the name of your last great prospect that came up through the farm system??.....uh huh ....I thought so.
Quote:
players want to play, period,
How would you know about that?...The salaries of just Jeter, and A-Rod combined, surpass what most other teams pay for there whole team,thats a fact, but you wouldn't know about facts.

In case you weren't paying attention....I root for the little guy I cheer for the dog,unlike most Yankee fans, I cheer for teams even if they don't win consistantly.

This debate is really starting to bore me because you have not made one good point other than the fact the Yankees win.....I said on one of my first post that the Yankees win, I even posted how many series they have won.

I made a hypothetical point about if you thought the Yanks could win if they instituted a salary cap.You dont even put up a good argument.If I told you the sun rises in the east, and sets in the west, you would say .....oh yeah?? well at least the Yankees win.

I love a good debate, but I can clearly see that you can't hang,so I'm out,you can have your little Yankee kiss ass thread.

debate? making points? lol! everything you've quoted is taken out of context so yeah, you might as well shut up til october so you can hop on whichever team's bandwagon and make another feeble attempt at knowing what you're talking about. maybe they'll have more than 2 or 3 championships. now run along and play some baseball on your psx. you're obviously mistaking one for the other.

the yankees are regrouping and have won the past six games. i think it's highly likely that the yankees will beat the white sox.

I agree with jim_dandy the players are bought out,not because they want to play for the Yankees.It is the fact that money is involved,easy as that.I honestly don't really hold alot of repect for the Yankees as they are an all star team.How can they lose if they are holding all the best players in the league.You know all the best players are going to want to go to the Yankees to get the green,money makes the Yankees.I don't think alot of people realize this,but no other team can spend as much money as the Yankees do.I have respect for the teams that can win the world series without buying up all the all stars of the league,and yes the Yankees are a bunch of sellouts(that means all those all star players that sell themselves to the Yankees).I stopped watching baseball for the fact the Yankees pick up all the best players,it gets old watching the same team win the world series year after year.

everyone wants to be a YANKEE for a reason: to win
Nah not really,apparently you don't know what you are talking about.Read what you wrote,they play but it is mainly for money.I can point out more lines that you wrote,that just make it even worse.The Yankees have money and I admit that,but the only reason everyone wants to go to the Yankees is over money.No player plays just for the sport,it begins with the strikes over money which irritates the hell out of me.They get paid enough,and to go on strike for more is ridiculous don't you think,that was awhile ago not sure if you can remember that.The Yankees spend more than any other team in the league on players,this is a fact.If you can't stand the heat,stay out of the kitchen.I read perfectly fine,and to view a person in your own perspective is kinda childish don't you think without even knowing a person.It is kinda funny how a so called fake thug can point out the obvious in your post,not to mention that was ignorant what you said.How am I gonna speak on how you view the Yanks,man get yourself together I just did.You shouldn't blame me for the actions they do,go complain to the Yankees if you don't like how they run the team.The funny thing is that you still don't see that even now.The Yankees don't win all those world series without talent,and everytime they get someone I bet you they pay a pretty penny for everyone of them.Unless you can name a time when they didn't have an all star team and won the world series.I will be waiting right here for when you actually come up with an answer,because I know for a fact everyone of the world series they won they have had alot of talent.Baseball players how I view them,baseball is there job and I am sure they will try to go to the highest paid team available when they can.I was wondering haven't you watched a commercial with a baseball player in it,do you think they do that to be seen on TV.The answer is NO,they get paid for it as any other sports celebrity would do.That is pretty much the end of discussion for right now.Unless you can point out some decent information you are not really making a good arguement.The way the Yankees are run is crooked man,sorry you don't see that even now.You shouldn't believe everything you see on TV,whatever you watched that made that much of an impression should get an academy award.

Oh by the way kinza,sorry if this is messing up your thread man.I wasn't actually trying to mess with this thread,but I used to watch baseball alot,and stopped watching it because of the Yankees.If B2D327 had probably viewed pron,maybe his views on the Yankees wouldn't be ellaborated to the truth so much.Hey B2D327 actually supply something,before shouting off like you know what you are talking about.I think as far as I can tell,you have no clue what baseball is all about now.The reason I stopped watching it is because there is no enjoyment of watching the same team actually one team the Yankees or any New York team win year after year and get bragged up like they are something special.I think any other team can win the world series if they had the money to spend like they do on players.If you can't see that,then your are blind man or someone is feeding you some BS.

First of all I am a girl, secondly you're talking to B2D327 right? I don't really watch baseball, like I said before only the World Series games. B2D327 is also the reason jim_dandy left this thread.

ok, let's straighten out this whole mess. The title of the topic is "any Yankee fans here", but it seems like I'm the only one who can admit it. A real fan follows their team win or lose. Either there's a bunch of "closet" Yankee fans in here that won't admit to it until october comes around or a bunch of people who hate their own teams so much that they justify it by Yankee bashing. I don't see anyone else saying, "I'm a Cardinals fan or a Dodger fan". Don't blame the yankees because your own teams can't make it to the series. It's their own fault. Isn't the object of any game to win? Plenty of good players are available right now but some owners are either too cheap or too stupid to pick up good, solid players and give certain coaches a chance. All that talk about the Yankee market is a bunch of crap. You mean to tell me that the only good players are all on the Yankees roster? Go take a look at the free agent market and tell me your team couldn't use a few of those guys. If other owners weren't making any money they wouldn't own the teams but they won't admit to that and spend some of it to draw fans back to the stadium. Unfortunately, the fans don't see that and I find it pretty hard to believe that NY is the only place where people are willing to pay to see a game. I'm not gonna go through every team that made stupid mistakes by thinking one player was gonna be their salvation and put all their eggs in one basket but certain individuals will take what I say out of context and turn it around to make it look like they know what they're talking about. You have to spend money to make money. Tell your home team to do that and maybe you won't be ashamed of them.
