Yankees win it all
I rooted for Phily all the way but the yankees are just too talented.
I'll tell you what really really pisses me off is seeing Johnny Damon in pinstripes instead of red sox!
Wonder what the sox will do next year? They seemed to have the pitching this year but the bats were asleep.
Maybe Poppy is done? Can we hang on to some of the younger talent at contract time? Lets hope so. I would double hate seeing Elsbury or Padroia in pinstripes!!

We do not need or want Damon back! He is as inept in the outfield as I have ever seen him! He played a good center but we have Elsbury and Damon is just horrible in left....and I can't explain why! We need to re-sign Bay and lock up the younguns for a few more seasons! Pappi.....maybe time to make a move there! Congrats to the Yankees....I was rooting for Philly!

Almost time to get our fish on!!!

Papi's under contract until the end of next season--what move do you propose there? Releasing him and eating his $13 million salary?
Or do you think that some other team will give you more than a case of Rawlings baseballs for him in a trade? 
Face it--he's washed up and you're stuck with him.
You're also stuck paying Varitek $3 million next season, whether he plays or not. |

The Steelers have 6 NFL titles--all Super Bowl titles--not 5 
Also, in addition to the 5 WS titles as the Philadelphia Athletics, the franchise has 4 more as the Oakland Athletics. |

Actually I Prefer to look at the list like this
Boston Celtics - 17 Championships out of 63 Total or 26.9% of all the Championships
Montreal Canadiens - 22 Stanley Cups (Modern Day NHL) out of 83 Total or 26.5% of all the Cups
New York Yank-mees - 27 World Series out of 105 Total or 25.7% of all the the World Series
Which puts them in 3rd all time......  
.....Or you can look at it like this too
Boston Celtics won 17 of 20 for 85% of the Championships they appeared in
The Canadiens won 22 of 29 for 75.8% of the Cup Finals they appeared in (Modern Day NHL)
Yank-mees won 27 of 40 for 67.5% of the World Series they appeared in
So....Again....3rd Place |

It has nothing to do with their Winning history....Its because they own one of the Biggest Media Outlets (YES Network) in one of the Biggest Sports Markets (think Merchendising) in the Country.
Plenty of great talent comes out of all the Cities in the country, but the problem is that the markets are so small they can't possibly generate the revenue to compete financially with the Yank-mees. They can afford to keep maybe 1 or 2 high level athletes but thats it....come free-agency no matter what they offer it can get trumped by the yanks...who don't bat an eye at an extra 10 mil.
Teams in other big sports markets can keep up to some degree(i.e. the Sox, Phillies) but even their total salaries were 65-75 million less than the Yanks.
Its now become where the bottom 10-12 teams are now pretty much the farm system for the higher tier teams and the yanks are at the top of the food chain and have money to burn.
Steinbrenner and Boras have ruined baseball |

TV Revenues are what helps the yanks. The TV deal gets them much bigger bucks than any other team. IMO spending 80 million more than any team is 4, 20 million $$$ players. It can't hurt to have that, sure beats a sharp stick in the eye. But you still need to get it done and they did. Congrats to them and now it is ancient history and on to the new year.
