<blockquote> Interesting how some folks have to rain on other peoples parades. This thread was simply a post celebrating the Yankees winning the WS.</blockquote><br><br>I stayed out of the post until people started claiming that they didn't win because of the 200 million plus payroll.
<font color="#000099">Like it or not, the Yankees won. You Met fans, go rent some dvds and stay home because the Yankee logos and shirts,hats are everywhereincluding the local supermarkets. A-Rod's juicing was in the past. Petitte... He did some substance to help recover from an injury when he was on thedisabled list. He confessed and apologized. If you ever heard Andy Pettite talking, you would immediately love. He is a nice, southern, christian man. Anyway, people get on A-rod more than Manny and Ortiz. Clemens.. That one truly disappointed me.. but remember , he was on the Red Sox and the Blue Jaysbefore he got to the Yankees... I don't hear anyone badmouthing either of those 2 teams.<br><br>I never said that everyone does it. I said that I am sure that every single baseball team has had a juicer one time or another. In fact, I bet that there hasbeen at least 1 player in each team in other sports. The guys get caught, they pay the penalty(fine, suspension, whatever) and then you move on. If youlike the team, you support the player(s) and hope that they don't repeat it. <br><br>Personally , I don't care if A-Rod breaks the home run record or not. Sure the record is tainted. I just want him to deliver w/ men on base and help win agame.<br><br><br>Anyway, the post has gone a bit haywire. Maybe someone should start on new one and we can gab over there.<br><br><br>Cub fans....What is 60 years.. 70 years? I forgot. Well , you have new ownership. Maybe they can straighten out that team. A Cubs-Yankees World series would be awesome. <img src="http://static.yuku.com//domainskins/bypass/img/smileys/tongue.gif" alt="image"> would draw higher ratings than this 2009 WS. <br><br>Maribell</font>

<blockquote> <font color="#000099">He is a nice, southern, christian man.</font></blockquote><font color="#000099"><br><br>Still a cheater. No matter how he looks or talks with his southern drawl.<br><br>Jeter, Pettitte and Posada were on Letterman last night I think it was and then Dave called out the MVP and he was carrying the World Series trophy...it was acool show!<br></font>
It only comes natural for me to hate <strong>ALL</strong> NY teams, so don't anyone be offended. As for juicing, I'd say anywhere from 40-50% of ALLprofessional athletes are on some form of enhancing drugs.....some are just better at their masking or knowing when testing is scheduled. Most folks hate theyanks because of the way they buy free agents when most, not all, teams can't compete with their offers. Let's face it......they have more $$$ to lureplayers their way & what player especially in this generation, wouldn't go for the higher offer? If baseball had a cap & the yanks won, youprobably wouldn't hear as much negativity launched their way except from us New England folks who will always hate them either way. I congratulated themearlier in this thread because they were the best team this season, regardless of their payroll. That still dosen't mean that I don't despise them.<img src="http://static.yuku.com//domainskins/bypass/img/smileys/roll.gif" alt="image">
Congrats Yankees !!!!<br><br>Everybody talks about people juicing, but lets be honest the biggest supposed cheater Barry Bonds, has NEVER been convicted of ANYTHING, the whole league wastested , with the results being secret, over 100 players tested positive of something, i doubt it was all steriod related. so with that someone leaks a name of2 every once in awhile, which is illegal and if that person is caught will go to jail, bud selig is the worst commissioner of baseball in recent history. Letsnot forget the team who makes the most spends the most, 200 mil payroll, big deal, revenue sharing means the yankees give the pirates 30 mill, royals 25 mill,the list goes on, every high payroll team pay these cellar dwellars, those owners just pocket the money instead of building a better team. its the same oldstory about the payroll, kinda funny...its smart business.<br><br><br>

We all know they did A Clod even admitted (after lying repeatedly) that hiscousin shot him up with an "unknown" drug. WHAT? would you, me OR anyone for that matter let anyone put anything in your body that you didn'tknow what it was? Especially A Clod & his ego, I think doubt it. The fact is they did steroids & probably still do. You want these guys for roll modelsfor kids?? Just look at the TV viewing numbers in recent years, they continue to drop for baseball. This one of the reasons.........<br><br>
Did you see where Travelers Insurance was up 1.26? Wohoooooo, I can't wait for the parade and for the CEO to be on Letterman.<br><br><em>my version of rooting for a business</em>
