sure you point out the fact that teams like the white sox, rangers, etc can't get there while spending as much money, but there's reason for that. The yanks steal all of the veterans who've been there, won it, or have experience and leadership. And every time a player hits the free agent market (cough GIAMBI) he knows right where to go, because i'd say 50% of that team ANY SEASON in the past 10 years has been to the world series. Pressure is still pressue, and if you have a bunch of young guys that've never been vs the people with experience and know what it takes, you will lose most of the time. Screw the Yankees wink
