Yankees Looking good
 

Do you think they will win, lol :1orglaugh

Only in the regular season... Once they hit the post season they will choke... they have no heart. just a bunch of overpaid mercenaries.

I dont know, I think this year money buys the world series randy johnson is pretty powerful pitcher

Yes they will win. And they will win in the post season as well. Its funny how people say they choke after one terrible year of post season play. Check out the history of the Yankees then come back and tell me how they choke in the post season. They are one of if not the best post season club ever.

Yankees owner has one mentality in mind.

Spend More, Win More!!!!!!!!!!!

All I see in their past is the BIGGEST choke in MLB History.

This isnt the same group of Yankees that won Championships. This team is just a bunch of overpaid stars that cant function as a team.

if they win it doesnt count because they bought the team (no respect) and if they lose well thats even worse

Keep on Hatin. :)

Yankees 2005

The Yankees WILL NOT win the Series with the pussies they have playing for them.

I think they will win for sure with this lineup

Baseball is a game you cant predict, thats why they play the games.

However, the Red Sox are the Current Champions of the World, and the Yanks will have to watch them recieve their rings on opening day in Fenway :thumbsup

They are not going to win it. The Red Sox is going all the way.

Yes in 2084

And after 80 years I am sure the Yanks will give them plenty of props. Its about time. Even the ugly dude gets laid once in his lifetime :winkwink:

come on with the amount of money he spent to get johnson which will make 16 million this year they have to win now

Looking good????


Kind of an understatement, eh?

Its not just last year, however that was huge, its ever since the 2001 Diamond Back series. The Yankees of 1996-2000 was a true team with leaders and role players with hard working stars like Jeter putting it all together. Since that series they just keep adding allstars and spending $$. What that gets you is 100 wins in the regular season and serious team holes in the postseason when opposing teams can focus on one team, not 162 games. They keep adding talent, but instead of spending $207 million on allstars they should look into adding roleplayers and pitching. And adding a 10 game winner (pavano) who plays in a pitchers park and 41 year old Randy Johnson from the National League with a bum knee isnt going to cut it. They should have been concentrating more on The A's big 3 than those two.

And the funny thing is, they have depleted there farm system so much over the past 4 years it is all dried up, no prospects to trade away this year during the stretch run to solidify their holes (1st base, second base, erlief pitching, #5 starter.

They'll make the playoffs ($207 million all but guarantees 100 wins and at least a wild card berth) but again fall short.

My two cents

On another note, now that the Red Sox finally won, instead of reversing the curse, why cant people just admit that there was no curse, they just sucked.

Yankees in 2005 no doubt about it.

Blah, blah, blah. Just because they make alot doesn't mean they don't have "heart". That's just a silly cliche.

There whole team this year is filled with role players. Their bullpen is possibly the strongest. They have 2 leadoff hitters now, if they get Beltran, they'll have a few guys who can steal, solid defense all around, home run power, starters who can all win 15+ games.

You need to take off your homer glasses superfan. Not sure what you are smoking but...

Role Players? $207 million doesnt get you role players unless they are seriously overpaying. Jeter? ARod? Giambi? Matsui? Williams? Posada? Sheffield? lol

And uh, hate to break it to you, but your boys aint getting Beltran. Hes signing with the Mets.

A few guys who can steal? who? Jeter, Womak? they are the oldest team in the league and one of the slowest.

Solid Defense? Yes, great left side, very weak defensively in center.

Best relief pitching??? Huh? They have Rivera? whos starting to show his age? Gordon is adequate as a setup but by no means is he the best.

Every starting piotcher can win 15 games?? WHAT? Randy Johnson Can, El Duque can if hes not hurt, Moose can. But after that? Brown? Pavano? doubtful.

They will be able to win 100+ because they can hit the ball out of the ballpark and outscore people. Thats what $200 million plus can buy you. The playoffs, thats another story. Same story as 2001, 2002, 2003, and 2004.
