- Mass resident yankee fan. Mark teixeira today. And C.C. and Burnett within the past 10 days. Lookin good this year. And say C.C. Can't win a big game, he's 28 and has plenty of years and fingers to prove otherwise.

Opening a new stadium and raising ticket prices during a bad economic slowdown. It will all crumble. Watch and see.

They cleared some 88 million dollars off of their roster from last season. So it only makes sense to spend some if not all of that money on this season. Which they haven't even used up all of that 88 million yet. Along with the new stadium the teams revenue is going to almost double what they were bringing in before, they can spend no matter what economy it is.
They also are helping the rest of the league. More tickets will be sold in more stadiums when they are on the road, just as they have up to today. People want to see them play, they want to see these players. So their big spending in turn helps different cities continue to roll, continue to pay thousands of employees in ballparks, hotels, restaraunts, etc. Along with letting everyone have a little bit of fun!12-23-08 07:21 PMLike 0 -
You could always resign manny..........12-23-08 07:22 PMLike 0 - Burnett has had his injuries yeah, but CC?? How is he gonna get hurt like 'he always does' He has averaged 15 wins a season for the past 8 years, and he is only 28! I'd say he is a pretty damn good pitcher. And raising prices and opening a new stadium will have no effect with the economy the way it is. Its NYC, its almost a different world. Watch them sell out just about every game, if not all, with 15,000 more seats than the red sox.

As far as "NYC is different." Yeah, typical. NYC thinks they're in the center of the universe and that nothing applies to them. The economy hasn't hit sports quite yet. If an actual vote had been held to fund that stadium I bet it wouldn't have passed. Talk about draining your city's money system. Here in So Cal we can't even get a football team beacause here we're not dumb enough to fund some state of the art stadium and drain our own money. "Look at us. We got a big stadium." I can't wait for all this to explode in the Yankees' face. Especially to hear all those "New Yahkahs." Bunch of "cahksukahs" LMAO

All you guys can hate the EVIL EMPIRE.
The nation will fall because the EMPIRE STRIKES BACK !!

OH and MANNY CLAUSE is coming to town12-27-08 10:03 AMLike 0 -
It doesent matter what the yankees do - people will always hate.
If anaheim signed CC - everyone would praise them
IF boston signed TEX - everyone would praise them
FYI - yanks cut payroll this year....they are 20 mil under last years payroll.12-27-08 12:15 PMLike 0 - I don't really hate the Yankees because they sign lots of players. I actually like the fact that they pay big money to pitchers who have injury issues or big game issues. No way CC will hold up in New York. My hate for the Yankees is more about my hate of NYC all together.12-27-08 12:36 PMLike 0

You live in So Cal and your worried about things on the other side of the country that don't concern you or your money? Get back to your California dreamin' and stop hatin'!
Tell me how my a*s taste!
Posted from my CrackBerry at wapforums.crackberry.com12-27-08 12:52 PMLike 0 - You have some serious issues. If you don't like NYC then don't come here and don't watch the Yankees. Period. Or should I say, Man up and get off your Period!

- I've always been a Yanks hater....M's fan Then about 3 years ago a guy I went to high school and played football with got traded to them and is one of their middle relievers so I like to see him pitch well and the Yanks lose...so I'm kinda torn lol.12-29-08 11:18 PMLike 0
- I even like CC. Always thought he was a good overall guy. Even now that he's a Yankee I still like the guy. But no way he's going to get it done in that enviroment. I completely agree with your theory on him. He's a bad injury waiting to happen. Especially the way he got overworked with a team that knew they weren't going to have him next year anyway. So they used him as much as possible. Then look at his performance once the Brewers got into the playoffs. I won't even comment on Burnett. You're right on the money. As far as Lowe goes, eventhough the Sox committed to Brad Penny for only a year, I'm shaky about Wakefield. I think Lowe would be a good addition and be a solid #3 guy this go-around. They didn't get Tex, but oh well. Would have been nice but I'm not dissapointed in their current lineup.
here's why i like wakefield....more often than not the guy will go seven or eight innings. he is a great relief for our bullpen. and most importantly he performs consisitently year after year. he's no super star but for the money he's paid the sox get alot of bang for their buck. brad penny - no one saw that coming....for a number 4 or 5 guy i guess it's not all that bad. i'd still like to see bucholz come into his own but i guess only time will tell.12-30-08 07:30 AMLike 0
