I love the idea of the worker bees, each doing their bit!

Thanks for your visit.

Happy for you ...

Well, yeah...but it's just easier and more fun for people to hate on the Yankees cause they spend all the money. Don't ruin it for some of them with your logic and well researched facts.

Besides, it's not really about how much you spend but how well you spend it. I'm less bothered by the spending than I am a team like Florida that wins with young talent and then gets rid of it to put a cheaper and sub-standard product on the field for the fans. And that franchise did it twice!

Good luck tonight!

One other thing ... I also have to agree with Jay on the Pedro Martinez - Don Zimmer incident. It certainly was not a case of Martinez hunting down Zimmer among the other participants in the melee.

I, for one, never understood why a man of Zimmer's age was out there in the middle of that in the first place.

I certainly admire your loyalty and dedication to the Yankees, and I have the utmost respect for your opinions - even though I disagree with some of your points.

For instance, with just 45 percent of the current roster having come up through the Yankees' farm system, that means 55 percent have come either by trade or free agency. In my mind, those are "hired guns."

I also don't think it's fair to compare C.C. Sabathia and Cliff Lee. Lee was traded; Sabathia left the Indians for the highest bidder.

But, it is what it is. Until Major League Baseball comes up with a legitimate salary cap and does something to enforce it other than this "luxury tax," this will never change.

Out of curiosity, how many consecutive years have the Yankees had the highest payroll in the league?

KATHERINE: LOL I appreciate your thinking of me and for caring about Nancy's wifedom. She is learning a new side of me during this playoff/World Series run...

2009-11-04T11:12:20.499-06:00

Seriously...whenever the Yankees make a great hit, run, or play I think of you. I have probably never watched a Yankee/Phillie game until the series. And other than your Peace of mind and Nancy's ease of wifedom...I really don't care.

HOWEVER I honor you being a fan. I feel the same way about my Giants...although maybe not as fiercely as my daughter.

So for you....Go Yankees.

Vinny, I know what you mean about Bloomberg (he scares you). I'm not looking for a King to rule NYC. But the city has been so good and so safe and clean etc. I just thought he could do us some good for another 4 years... He won't get away with another 4 believe me! :)

"Zimmer was a spry 72 years old when big bad Pedro targeted him out of all the people on the field."

A little historical revisionism?

That's an interesting way to remember that incident. I mean, Zimmer comes running out of the Yankees dugout on the opposite side of the field, runs around home plate and then charges right at Pedro who was standing between the first base line and the Sox dugout. That isn't exactly Pedro "targeting" Zimmer. Yeah, Pedro could have just grabbed the old man and held on and let others come and get him and not throw him to the ground, but you make it sound like Pedro went running after Zimmer. It was the other way around.

That reminds me of my favorite Bill Walton moment as an announcer. Back in the day Reggie Miller and Michael Jordon got into on the court. Jordan actually put both hands around Millers neck in an attempt to choke him.

Walton was doing color commentary on the game and when they showed the replay he says "As you see here, Reggie Miller was impeding Jordan's attempt to run down the court." LOL ;-)

Rooting for the Yankees to win the WS is like going to a casino and rooting for the house. Cheers!!

Go Phils!

Being from Pittsburgh, I never thought I'd say that, but I don't follow baseball anymore anyway. I do still hate the Yankees though, merely because they exist.

...all well and good, sir. However, one cannot entirely escape the 'David and Goliath' aspect when ANY team plays the Yankees, and therin, perhaps, lies the crux of the bisquit: we love to see the giant fall.

...especially Andy Pettitt...

2009-11-04T06:42:31.214-06:00

I grew up as a Yankee fan. They were the only game in town, even in Oklahoma. "The Mick", Good 'ol Yogi, Whitey, Bill Skowron, Bobby Rihardson, Tony Kubeck, Clete Boyer, Roger Maris, Elson Howard, and Johnny Blancard...what a crew.
