Ursa Majoris Posted November 3, 2009 Share Posted November 3, 2009 No dumb ass they didn't have free agency the only way to acquire players were to trade bribe for them or bring them up thru the organization via scouting having bribed their parents / teachers / whoever. Adjusted for accuracy......dumb ass. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Utley: Well who's ur daddy CC: Utley: No doubt Utley is the best player out there, but it takes a team to win not just one player. All ya'll need to do is win two more.

jackshi17 Posted November 5, 2009 Share Posted November 5, 2009 Joe West is calling an absolutely ridiculously inconsistent strike zone tonight. Its beyond awful, one of the worst I've ever seen. As long as both teams are playing with the same strikezone it really doesn't matter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keggerz Posted November 5, 2009 Share Posted November 5, 2009 What did I do ? You be the judge and tell me what is different about these topics ...a hint is that one of the things wrong is the title for the WS and there is one other thing(you know superstition is a big part of baseball)...when I played I always stepped on the foul line and 2nd base on my way out to CF) Rookies - Phils Dodgers - Phils Yankees/Phillies Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
irish Posted November 5, 2009 Share Posted November 5, 2009 As long as both teams are playing with the same strikezone it really doesn't matter. And now it doesn't matter period. The best team in baseball are World Champs again!! So much for superstitions. Posada said it best, the difference in the Yanks being able to make this run was the upgraded pitching. Congrats to the Yanks and their fans! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

whomper Posted November 5, 2009 Author Share Posted November 5, 2009 (edited) D'Amaso Marte? This is your idea of a farm system? Nady..And I am sure there have been others. Not just the Yankees. Bay, Mclouth . The Pirates get stripped of their talent on a yearly basis by plenty of teams looking to make a playoff push. They have some great young guys right now. Lets see how long they last. I am an Orioles fan I didnt have a horse in the WS race but sour grapes the day after it is over is a little weak IMO. They did nothing wrong , outside of the rules , to win this title. Until baseball gets a cap people just have to deal with it Edited November 5, 2009 by whomper Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Yankees have a payroll that is close to 70 Million higher than the 2nd highest payed team. It is baseball's fault, not the Yankees, but, my point still stands. They should be embarrassed if they don't win with that large of an advantage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That said, there is no way on Earth most teams could afford what the Yanks afford so any meaningful salary cap will have to be much lower than the current Yankee payroll. That alone is enough to ensure that it won't happen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
