LOL you've decided the same team that swept a series last year has no chance to win one next year! Always good for a laugh around here...you can't make this stuff up.

LOL poor Yankees how will they ever get by? For a whole bunch of years out-Yankeeing the Red Sox and Phillies didn't work so well.
Sandra
I am not saying they will be sellar dwellers by any means. They are just hurting for pitching. The Reds pitching staff will be better than theirs.
Their team is old and the years will start showing eventually. More so than has already happened. Jeter had his worse year last year.
Meh. This is all partially true. I would not predict Mariano or A-Rod will slow down yet. Posada will be replaced behind the plate, his bat will move to DH. We can be hopeful for better years from Texeira, Burnett, Chamberlain, and Jeter. Derek may have had a bad year this year, but he had arguably his best year last year. We'll see.
Cano is just a baby. Hughes was a starter for the first time last year. Gardner has large potential upside. Swisher is what he is.
And I'm not convinced Crawford was the best signing for Boston. A corner outfielder who does not hit home runs and relies on his legs, and will be getting up in years? We'll see. That signing could look good at first but backfire in the long run.
Cliff Lee is out of the AL, which is a good thing, and the Yankees may not be done yet. Let's wait and see.
I would only worry if my team played in the NL East and is not named the Phillies.
Sandra
Whatever that means...
But you didn't address what I said.
Sandra
you know EXACTLY what it means....it means outbidding EVERYONE else. And what question is this?
The Yankees did outbid Texas and Philly, but Lee chose Philly. Do you seriously think that's the first time something like that has ever happened?
Sandra
Maybe Cliffy was scarred his lacadasical, ho-hum attitude wouldn't be tolerated in New York, so he chose to go where less lights will be shining on him....

Doubtful. Philly fans are pretty hard-core. If he wanted low-key he would have stayed in Texas.
Sandra
Didn't know it was a questioned posed to me. But yes, I "decided" that they will more than likely not make the playoffs. What happend last year will have NO BARRING this year. Teams have changed rosters, players have moved on, gotten older gotten worse or gotten better. Last year is done and over with. If they do make the playoffs, depending who they play in the playoffs, may not have enough pitching or hitting(depending who they face) to win a series. YES, that is opinion.

Apparently, his lacadasical, ho-hum attitude was not an issue when they offering close to $120 million for 7 years.
May not? That I can agree with, the Yankees definitely may not. But that also applies to Boston, the Angels, Minnesota, and now Texas too. The Phillies? We'll be happy to worry about that in the World Series.
But 'may not have enough...' is a lot different from your first proclamation that I challenged...
Your backtracking is understandable.

No backtracking....it was based on my opinon. Your splitting hair because we are stating something OTHER than worshiping the Yankees....is ALSO understandable.
The Red Sox got better with the addition of Crawford. The Phillies got better by adding Lee. The Yanks are left "hoping" they get better production out of their players than last year. I doubt they'll go into the regular season without making a move. What do they have to offer KC for Zach Grienke?
