Ha, they've spent a lot of money before ... and not won. This team played great all year (or at least, the last 3/4ths). They were the best team. Give them their day.

(Still wish A-Rod never won a ring, though.)

Oh really? I guess money can't buy it every year then, huh..

Your payroll is double to six times what other mlb teams are.. chances are you are going to win every few years.

Thank you my friend, it is great coming from a sox fan. It was a great season.

Last year they had a higher payroll and missed the playoffs, this year it went down and they wont the world series.

You're missing my point. If you can afford the best players, your chances of winning are much higher than other teams. You are going to have off years and the underdog will prevail every now and then, but keep the payroll coming and you'll take a title every few years gaurunteed.. your lower payroll this year was still almost double the second highest payroll team.

He's not missing the point, the point is the series just ended and Yanks fans want to celebrate ... let them have at least 5 damn minutes before you start shitting on their parade.

And your facts are a little off. The Yanks were a little over $200M this year, the Mets were 2nd with $149M ... that's not "almost double".

I hear you.. I'm happy for them. I'm not a Yankee hater. Better them than annoying Boston. ;) I guess it gives the little guy something to push for.
