Does Anybody Realize What The Yankees Just Accomplished?

Who gives a shit. They will get knocked off again. Bunch of old bums.

T-Wiz, you need to worry about big Bynum and his fukked up knees more than the Yankees bro.

Sixers are depending on him.

[raydog]

do we realize what they did? yes, they spent 25million more than any other team in order to buy players that could get them to the playoffs...same shit, different year...

But didn't I make it pretty obvious I wasn't worried one bit about the Yankees?

Exactly. Team spent $115 mil more than the team they barely finished ahead of in the division.

Wow, you totally miss the point.

I'm more impressed with BAL and the fact they got it done with Jim Johnson as closer.

You ain't worried about the Yankees because the Phillies are sitting at home watching them on tv.

For sure

[PAYTON20]

Team loaded with all-stars and payroll outta this universe

Preseason favorites to win the World Series

BARELY squeak past the Orioles to win their own division

You act like they just won the World Series

[raydog]

Wow, you totally miss the point.

nah, i got the point...my point was they bought enough players to make up for missing one...i hate the organization worse than its fans...and thats a lot of hate

They won the AL East WITHOUT MARIANO RIVERA.

They suffered through a plethora of injuries.

Look at the injuries they battled through this season and tell me if any other team would have survived something comparable.

Rivera
Pineda
Chamberlain
Sabathia
Pettitte
Nova
Teixeira
A-Rod


WTF! To put this into perspective, the Phillies lost only two important players in comparison in Ryan Howard and Chase Utley and were floundering all year long.

The Yankees were devastated with injuries to key players and not only survived, but won 95 games and the division.

I should also point out the year Derek Jeter had.

This will go down as one of the greatest seasons ever by a 38 year old. Led MLB in hits. Scored 100+ runs. Hit over .300.

He literally carried the Yankees for over a 3 month stretch in which he was fukking phenomenal.

In my view, he is the true MVP of the AL.

If injuries hadn't played such a huge role this season and the Yankees had been fully healthy from the start, we might have been talking about this Yankees team as among the best ever.

Chamberlain sucks
Nova sucks
Pettitte was a gift that showed up in spring training, it's not like he was in their plans when they put together the team.
Arod and Tex missed about 30 games - big deal
Sabathia missed 5 starts - big deal
Losing Rivera is somewhat big but the Yankees are the only team in baseball that could afford to pay a former closer, closer money to be a setup guy. So having Soriano on the roster really took the heat off there.

[turbozed]

How can anyone say they were massive underachievers with the best record in baseball and given the injuries they suffered?

That is just insane.

Oakland was nearly entirely healthy for the whole season.

Except for their two best pitchers, McCarthy and Anderson. And they lost a few guys like Inge and Crisp for a while during the season too. Also, the ones that were healthy ended up being AAA call-ups and cast-offs. Probably their only legit player that lasted the full season and played well without injury was Cespedes.

[face]

I tire of that argument that "the Yankees throw money at it"
they still gotta play 162 games
still have to manage it

i agree darrell
angles, dodgers, red sox, marlins all spent tons of cash.

yankees made good additions with ichiro and lowe. good leadership in girardi and jeter.

Wow!!! You should get over there and suck their coks.

Kinda like the flyers

[nyplayer33]

they will lose in first round yet again..they have highest payroll by far

[Mantle7]

With AAAAAll the money. Somebody tell me why the fuk their mid relief pitching is so bad. They just spent all that money on position players and starting pitchers? Id be interested to know how much guys like Roberston, Eppely, Logan make... I despise all three of those fukkers. They cost me some serious money this year.
