Lun!!! Free!! It's Godzilla!

Matsui needs to pee in a cup after the game. Getting injured tonight is the only characteristic thing about him this series.

 

[DodgerKing]

Looks like the Yanks have bought themselves a WS.


Not good for baseball at all.

So, who's the MVP going to be? Pettite? Matsui? A-Fraud?

Not sure what everyone's stats look like, just throwing some names out there.

Matsui should be MVP if Rivera doesn't choke. He kept the Yanks from choking in the WS.

As for $$$$ and world championships, all I can say is thank goodness it doesn't happen all the time. Yanks got lucky this year.

 

[SabresRule]

Congratulations, Sandra.

Your team is king of the mountain.

 

[SabresRule]

Well, it's official- the money spent on Teixeira, Burnett, and Sabathia was worth it.

 

[SabresRule]

I PREDICTED EVERY POSTSEASON SERIES CORRECTLY!

I correctly predicted the winners in all seven postseason series- and I even got the number of games in the World Series correct!

 

[SabresRule]

Yankees join the 2002-03 Spurs and 2006 Cardinals as teams that won a title in their first year at a new stadium.

 

[SabresRule]

And to think, in their first game at this new Stadium, the Yanks got clobbered.

 

[skysurfer]

is FOX dropping out across the country? On my local fox station, there have been dropouts and freeze frames throughout the top of the 9th inning and into the postgame celebration.

 

[SabresRule]

Vindication, thy name is A-Rod.

Tied a postseason record with 18 RBI's.

Looks like the critics will have to find a new star player to criticize.

To all you Yankee haters: The funny thing is, half the teams in MLB could spend the kind of money on players that the Yankees do, but they CHOOSE not to. In fact, the Yankees give a lot of money back to many teams in the form of the luxury tax. Quite a few of those teams don't even spend that money on their own team, but pocket the money. They must really love their fans, huh!

 

[Jimmy 440]

Yankees Win the Yankees WIN !!! Yeah.
Godzilla WS MVP !!!

I don't think the Royals, Rays, Marlins, or Nationals among other teams could. They don't draw enough (ticket revenues), don't have rich endorsement or broadcast rights deals, or probably don't get a significant share of luxury tax redistributed money.

I think the Cubs, Dodgers, Angels, Red Sox could spend that much if they wanted to.

I can't wait until the tax man hits the Yankees and see how much luxury tax they owe after their monster spending spree this past offseason. I also can't wait to see how the Yankees defend their title - wouldn't it be funny if they missed the playoffs again when their rich players underperform in 2010?
