T-Bone 27,

How did you type “I’d welcome it” with your fingers crossed?
The cap does work in football, teams like the Arizona, no fan base, Cardinals actually make it to the Superbowl….

Who’s asking for handouts? This is a sport, not Wall St.!

Yankee II…..You’ve all been crying for 9 years because you haven’t got what you think is an entitlement!

Frauds!

T Bone is right…….The fact is the Yankee’s won and they won within the rules of Baseball.

So tired of the crying…Get over it people, they just waited 9 years for this, do you not see that money doesn’t buy everything yet?

I could care less…salary cap or no salary cap. It doesn’t work in football so why bother in baseball? It gives the appearance in football that everyone is on an even playing field but there are cheap teams and teams like the Yankees that are willing to do what it takes to win. But if they adapt a cap, so be it…i’d welcome it so the rest of the fans, especially the dillusional fans up in Boston can stop bitching about an unfair economic advantage when the yankees kick their asses anwyay.

And as far as the lib comment goes, wanting a free market league makes me a liberal? Crying that you don’t have what they rich big boys have and wanting a hand out…that’s as liberal as it gets.

T-Bone 27,
Judging by the spin you put on this, I take it that you’re a Lib, too!
“How the game is played today,” as opposed to when? Face it, as a Yankee fan, the last thing you WANT, is a cap, because then you’d have to play on the same terms as everybody else, and you wouldn’t have that unfair advantage! Weather or not the other teams put their money back onto the field, I do not know, but, I do know they don’t have the same size bank account Steinbrenner has.

The Yankee fan can not ever imagine playing with the same means as everybody else in the league, and thats a fact.

Spin away………

Yankee III…get a grip. That’s how the game is played today. NOBODY and I mean NOBODY has a team of home grown players. The Redsox, Mets, Dodgers, Phillies, Angels, Braves, etc. etc…they all play the same free agent game the Yankees do so why hate the Yankees for it? They didn’t create this system. Blame baseball and the players union but don’t hate the Yankees for it. Too many owners in baseball won’t do what it takes to win…they’d rather line their pockets and bitch about how the Yankees have an “economic advantage”. Well, if that’s the case…the owners should change it since they should be the majority. So why don’t they? Because they’re making a shit load of money and don’t want to share it with the players. In order to create a cap, they’d have to open their books to the union and that’s the last thing owners want.

So until then, I’m going to go get another bottle of champagne for another celebration tonight for the 27 world championship of the greatest franchise in sports history, bar none!!!

Damn straight! We bought another championship! We couldn’t win it with our “Homegrowns,” so we went out and BOUGHT the players we needed!!! We ARE awesome! Nobody buys like us, nobody!
Why try to win with what ya got, or are bringing up through the farm, when ya can just buy it? Thats the true sign of a champion!

I just don’t understand why people don’t respect the Yankees

“Just buy it, Baby!”
