Just goes to show you, all Steinbrenner's milliong bought him another early exit from the post-season. He may be able to buy players, but you cannot buy teamwork and loyalty, nor does the money buy a perfect mesh of players that makes a championship calibre team. Teams like the Marlins years ago, the amazin' Mets in 1969, and those magical Red Sox of a few years ago when they swept came back to take four straight from the Yankees and then swept the Cardinals.......those teams, they had HEART. Money can't beat a tram playing on that level.

I am always happy to see the $$$$ lose to the teams with the miniscule payrolls compared to the Yankees. Now, Torre is being fired, which I hate to see because it's the players who win and lose on the field, and the players with all the money and the egos, but the manager takes the fall as always.

Across town, seems the Mets know how to do it.............

What he said!!!!

[iposse]

I hate the Yankees.

Strangely enough, I don't have a problem with Steinbrenner and his $-spending ways. I also hate the idea that "small market teams can't compete." Look at the owners of all these supposed small market teams. They're all billionaires too. Remember when the Marlins won the World Series back in 1997 and then rich-ass Wayne Huizenga immediately traded all their superstars and sold the team? The Royals are owned by a former CEO of Wal-Mart. The Twins owner, Carl Pohlad, is the 107th richest person in the U.S. but you have to admit they have a pretty cheap-ass roster (even if they have done pretty well recently). It's a shame these owners are afraid of "losing money" on their teams. I know the Yankees can make all the money back they spend (especially since they have their own cable network), but at least Steinbrenner isn't afraid to spend money to make money. Forget this Billy Beane moneyball garbage. Every owner has deep enough pockets and I think civic pride is more important than a "profitable" operation.

I like rooting against the Yankees as much as the next person, but I'd also like to see some of the other teams open up their wallets too.

[Grunch]

It's just not a game anymore. Players make more in one season than Henry Aaron made in hie entire career, many players charge kids for their autograph, and have egos that make them think they are betong the law, etc......it's not a game the wqay it was intended and played decades ago. I gave up completely on pro sports of all kinds years ago, and no longer care what team wins what, ever.

I do however love college football and basketball. These are much more exciting any day, just my opinion.

[jaybag]

Shut out in Game 3, only 1 run in the first 8 innings of Game 4 ... yeah, it looks like Steinbrenner's going to have to revamp that awful lineup to get a little more firepower in it [:D]

The only thing that really bothers me about Steinbrenner is that he acts as though the Yank$ winning the World Series is Manifest Destiny, offering these heartfelt apologies to his fans for the huge disappointment every year they don't win it all (6 and counting - nice!). As if the title is rightfully theirs. Rather than give credit to the other guys, his take always seems to be "the better team lost."

I agree wholeheartedly with what iposse said. It's ridiculous that these small-market teams are getting such big stipends from the Yank$ luxury tax money, and instead of spending it on players, they're pocketing it. Forget a salary cap, how about a salary floor? Not that the union would ever agree to that - a floor leads to a cap and we certainly can't have that.

The players couldn't care less about winning - as long as they're fat and happy, all's well. Sure they'd like to win, but they'd rather see teams like the Yank$ continue to buy every player out there so salaries remain ungodly high. The Yank$ represent everything that's wrong with baseball, but you certainly can't blame them for playing within the rules. Meanwhile, I'm not looking forward to the 2008 Yank$ rotation of Zito, Oswalt, Carpenter, Zambrano and J. Santana (Chien-Ming Wang will be relegated to long relief) ...
