[quote="Airborne Butters":2ef21]okay, he didn't ask what you thought of the Yankees so STFU. I like the Yankees, probally fav team. Looks to be a good season this year.[/quote:2ef21]
I wonder why..
Georgie: "WE NEED A 3RD BASEMAN...GIMME ONE NOW"
Minion "LETS GET DREW HENSON HE PLAYS FOOTBALL, HE COULD BE THE TOP PICK"
Georgie: "GIVE HIM 10 MILLION HE WILL BE MINE!!!"
Georgie: "WE NEED 2ND BASEMAN I WANT SORIANO, HOW MUCH MARINERS GIVE HIM....GIVE HIM DOUBLE...I WANT HIM NOW"
2 years later
Georgie: "DREW IS TEH SUX0R!! GIMMIE NEW GUY NOW!"
minion " Lets get Aaron Boone"
Georgie: "OOO HE GOOD GET HIM NOW I LUV HEEM!"
aaron tears up knee
Georgie: "I DONT WANT ENRIQUE WILSON PLAYING 3RD WE NEED NEW GUY NOW!!...ALFONSO IS TEH SUX TRADE HIM GET ME A-ROD"
That is how the yankees get guys...they find out how much someone is offering and give them double
even though many say the wings BUY cups...at least they dont have every good player in the league on their team..and the payroll difference between them and #2 is like 3-4 million...not 50-100 million

The glory whores will be happy aka the guys who have been fans of the team their whole lives...in other words since they started winning on a regular basis.
Same shit happens in the uk with manchester united, when they weren't winning anything you never seen anyone with their shirts or anything, since they started winning thats all you see, ask them how long they've been a supporter and the standard response is "my whole life".

incase you didnt know, the yankees werent always l337....one only needs to look back to the entire decade of the 80's. they fuckin blew. they only started to become a juggernaut in the mid 90's

Exactly the point, same thing with that football team manchester united, when they sucked noone wanted to know but as soon as theyre winning everyone hops on the "ive supported this team all my life" bandwagon. Im willing to bet most yankee "fans" here only became fans when they began winning a lot. Big coincidence that. eek:

gerard i dont see any harm with fans hopping on once their team starts winning ....if you live in that city its your right to be a fan. yes, i will agree that part of being a true fan of a team is rooting for them when they suck too. i have been a lifelong whitesox fan, and part of being a fan is the agony of losing....so when you do win (or if) , the joy is that much better.
your argument for flaming bandwagon yankee fans is irrelevant imo, there are plenty of lifelong yankee fans. and btw, most sports teams fan base's derive from ppl hopping on once they start winning. look at the marlins from last yr. during the yr they couldnt draw 20 thousand fans a game....once september came around....capacity crowds of 50 thousand plus a night.

Tell me about it.
Yanks line-up is quite possibly one of the most potent in history.

More like a baseball fan. I doubt anyone outside of the Yankee nation is really happy to see this deal go down. Everyone knows its a joke considering the Yankees basically buy at least an American League championship every year (that's not to say that the Red Sox don't spend money, but its almost incomparable to the payroll of the Yankees).
As of now Boston only has an edge on New York in pitching. Despite the Red Sox producing record shattering numbers last year offensively, they won't be nearly as good as what the Yankees are projected to put up.
Who knows.. putting a bunch of superstars on a team doesn't guarantee a championship. Look at the Lakers. Although Kobe's actions off the court didn't help, they still aren't living up to the hype.
Pitchers and catchers report within the next week, I think. Should make for an interesting year.
