Chalk it up. `09 Here we come.

What a joke. The Yankees have thrown absurd amounts of money at anything with a heartbeat in recent years and it's amounted to ZERO titles in nearly a decade- and we all know the Steinbrenner mouths measure their success in Championships- as in the season isn't a success if they don't win one.

$423.5M in new contracts in 9 days.

I'm glad to see the Yanks are continuing to attempt to buy World Series titles instead of grooming home grown talent the way they did during their late 90's glory years.

As you can see, I'm a massive Yankee hater. I have the sad distinction of being an Orioles fan, but my passionate hatred for the Evil Empire (and that pompous whiny punk Hank Steinbrenner) far outweighs any dislike I have for the Cowboys, Florida State, etc....

Why would I be mad? I actually think you guys are a hilarious comedy of errors in recent years- most recently passing on Johan Santana because you have Ian Kennedy and Philp Hughes. LOL!!

And the spending is a total joke.

Believe me...its been more frustrating for us than anybody...
Kinda reminds you of the Skins right?...all that spending with no championship...

BUT THIS YEAR OUR PICKUPS ARE LOGICLE. Where i didnt see as much logic prior years.

Texiera,Sabathia,Burnett =What we needed.

We Released Abreu... we needed another bat.
We released Giambi...whos gonna play 1st base for us? Nick Swisher..Duncan?
Texiera seems smart to me...expensive....but smart. And hes only going to produce.

Sabathia/Burnett....our pitching staff was in shambles. Nescessary as well. You can find it amusing....until we take home our 27th Championship..
