Nady and Marte trade looks brilliant!

[ryanXL977]

i understand your point
but they should have a top 6 record spending 200 million

seriously dude, what a joke
they spend like 10x more than the marlins and have what to show for it
a boring old team who can hardly move

[moneyline]

And their frugality regarding the Manny situation will assure they don't make the playoffs this year.

Maybe they'll sit home in October patting themselves on the back for their pathetic fan base and their penny-foolish approach as a result?

[Clueless_Norway]

The Marlins play's as a team... They want to win for the team, not to get their stats up....

[moneyline]

Ryan, it is July ... nobody has anything to show for anything this year just yet. Unless somebody gets a trophy for winning part of the season?

[ryanXL977]

bosox didnt do the deal to save money dude
and i dont think boston will make the playoffs bc they have no pen
im not sold on the yanks either

tb wins the east, they are a team.

[moneyline]

The Marlins play for the same reason every other team plays, Norway. They get paid a lot of money ... more than your average bear, that is for sure.

[ryanXL977]

you are right
what are your predictions? yanks win it all? chin mieng wang doesnt like playoff time

[ryanXL977]

why do the yanks spend 200 million so unwisely, and the marlins and oakland (usually) spend 40 million so wisely

[moneyline]

Yankees will make the playoffs (as they have every year since 1994), as will the Sox ... Rays get left out of the party. If the Yankees play the Angels in the WC, they will lose. If they can escape getting them as a 1st round opponent, the Sox will knock them out and then the Yanks will make the Series ...

[Clueless_Norway]

I also like the Rays right now...
Either Sox or Yanks looks strong enough to win their division....
I also have the Jays as an outsider (won't make it tho..) cause they looks stronger than the Yanks and Sox right now...

[moneyline]

200 million so unwisely ...

14 straight playoff appearances
6 World Series appearances
4 WS Chamionships

All during the time of wild card BS ...

Not bad. Not bad at all.

[ryanXL977]

angels will win it this year, i am sure everyone agrees so its pointless to debate that. i think minne wins the central.
and i think tb makes the playoffs. so it comes down to bosox or nyy.

[Clueless_Norway]

The Marlins play for the same reason every other team plays, Norway. They get paid a lot of money ... more than your average bear, that is for sure.

They earn a cent each month compared to the Yanks lineup...
The big money ruins the good players...
As in soccer the best players are those with their heart in the club, not in the bank...

[ryanXL977]

so the last 6 years of 200 million is considered a success because they made the playoffs? well done yanks, well done

well done to the braves for getting there and sucking when it coutns also, spending probably less than 100 mill

[moneyline]

Winning 30% of the World Series since 1994 (would be 35% if Rivera had one more inning in him) ...

That's terrible? R-ight ...

[Clueless_Norway]

Agree with you on the LAA takes it all...
I can't find a big weakness on their team right now, if any weakness at all...

[ryanXL977]

Winning 30% of the World Series since 1994 (would be 35% if Rivera had one more inning in him) ...

That's terrible? R-ight ...

you always have qualifiers

if there were no wild card than the yanks would not have had to play this team or that team
what world do you live in where you are allowed to cancel the games you lose or disregard the setup of the league if it helps your stats

i want to live in that world, in that world maybe the rangers and mavericks are good

if it werent for the steelers, the cowboys would have 2-3 more superbowls!

[pavyracer]

I really don't know what's worse, believing in God or being a Yankees fan

[moneyline]

No qualifier.

They have won 30% of the World Series championships since 1994 ...

The rest of baseball combined has won the other 70% ...

[Clueless_Norway]

Both... lol

[ryanXL977]

what percent have the yanks won since 2002? 0%
the rest of mlb has won 100%
why do we start counting in 1994: whats so special about that year?

thats the year the stupid lying gop took control of congress
i thought you were a smart dude! why do you like republicans

[moneyline]

30% of the championships since 1994 ... pretty amazing.

Pavy, you only believe in God and the Yankees if you like the idea of heaven and championships ...

I guess you're too smart for such trivial pursuits

[ryanXL977]

look, i dont even hate the yanks
but for 200 mill, you better with 30% of the ****ing championships

[moneyline]

Ryan, that is ridiculous ... shoudn't you win 40%? Or why not all of them? After all, it's common knowledge if you spend the most, you should win every year, right?

[ryanXL977]

if you spend that much money you should win every year, and you should not get CRUSHED in the loffs every year of the last 5

[moneyline]

Nah, better to have one of the biggest payrolls and miss the playoffs several years, like the Mets, Sox, O's, Cubs, etc ...

Now, that is definitely better.

[Clueless_Norway]

When you spend the most you should at least have the best record in mlb 1 of every 2nd year...

[ryanXL977]

how close are the mets and others salaries to the yanks

seriously dude, the sox have 2 ws in the last 4 bc they are a team
the yanks arent
watch them play, its pretty easy to see

[moneyline]

6th best record in baseball ...

Imagine if the Yanks were actually a real team ...

Imagine ...

[ZBOIZ]

what do u all think about the Cubs -220 tommorrow?

[moneyline]

Team. The '78 Yankees weren't a team, by the definition of Ryan and Norway.

They were just the champs.

[ryanXL977]

i was 1 year old, i dont know
i am talking about what i see every day

they do not play liek a team
they play like individuals

6th best record, number 1 payroll
thats something to brag about

[moneyline]

Every time I look at th standings, I keep looking for the payroll rankings, but they never include them. Strange.

And, yes, 6th best record in baseball is something to brag about ... you seem to think it is something to be ashamed of ...

[pavyracer]

Let me put it to you in this way: If Man Utd or Real Madrid spend 200 million a year and they didn't win the championship for six years in a row heads will be rolling and fans will be rioting. For Yankee fans is considered an achievement. Go figure!

[pavyracer]

2-5 since the blockbuster trade.
