i dont see how you can say (27) Titles is a failure?? Thats more than the next 3 teams combined. And the Cardinals have 10 of those. What does make me chuckleis when the yanks say its been a long time since we won. LOL How does that make Cubs fans feel.

imho the money arguement is invalid because it is MLB to blame not the yankees that the amount spent is so unbalanced. HOWEVER it seems the Yanks have had morethan thier fair share of juicers both present and past and that is CHEATING

I said all the recent years that they didn't win when they were able to nearly double the field isthe story<br>more so than this win.<br>

<font color="#0000FF">Interesting how some folks have to rain on other peoples parades. This thread was simply a post celebrating the Yankees winning the WS.<br>Yet some seem fit to post negatively...Why ? To demean the achievement because they don't want others to celebrate it. If you have issues<br>with MLB, steroids, etc start a thread and post away. This is the reason I don't like to post in LBR since it seems others only want<br>to diss or demean your post. I'm done...FLAME AWAY...<br><br><br>L8er<br>DON<br><br>P.S. I guess I shouldn't have a Yankees avatar either since it may offend some....<img src="http://static.yuku.com//domainskins/bypass/img/smileys/eyes.gif" alt="image"></font>

Ya know it seems to me that everyone thinks that the Yankees bought a world series. I find this amazing. Do you know that the Yankees LOST 50 MILLION and thatis before being penalized for going over the CAP, just like Basketball. Most of the teams your bringing up like the Twins made 40 million and is owned by aBILLIONAIRE. The Stienbrenners are not BILLIONAIRES and are willing to lose money ( of course that is before YES money) to put a winning team out there. Mostof your other teams would have more money if their fans supported them. Look at the Rays last year, they go to the WS and their attendance is up 2% and theycant afford to keep their players. Yankee fans support their team and they try to get their fans a winning team. Anyone remember the Blue Jays winning in theearly 90s? They had the highest payroll those years so I guess they bought a WS too.<br><br>Spectreflame are you going to take the Red Sox World Series wins away as cheaters too? Their 2 biggest players were Juicing? Also why when it is a Yankee whois accussed its front page new and when Manny gets caught this year and Big Papis name is in there too then it barley makes a blip? Because people hate a teamthat wins and plays by the cap rules.<br><br>Hey if you dont like the Yankees that is fine but cant you go and complain in another thread?

yup the BoSox wins were BS also and the Dodgers pennent this year with Manny missing 50 games for juice is bogus also. Hate all juicers not just yankee juicersbut it seems the yanks have had a lot through the years. Heck go old school and all those A's wins were crap also.
