sahayog, you sound like a SOFTBALL guy :=) I heard the same old line from Red Sox fans last year..... it only counts if you are still playing in October :=) KC bro said "Yankees -- Big joke right ? Biggest payroll, and will yet miss the playoffs !" >>> Since i started watching Baseball, Yankees haven't missed a playoff. And I see the same thing for this year :=) It's not NFL or NBA, long season ahead regarding biggest payroll, Yankees play by the rule ... too bad you guys don't like it... the best for non Yankees fans is to go to Home Games and buy merchandise of your teams and MAY BE you guys will be able to afford good players who demand good money
