Tavarez would be f***ing atrocious if he had to play LF or RF for an extended period of time.

Who is this guy?

The saddest part of the whole discussion is that this is what people think of when the word "Good Business" comes up. To me, it shows the disgusting nature of the abuse of power that government will use to get things done. And the extent that business will go through in order to protect its bottom line. It is the furthest thing from good business. It involved the practice of dishonesty, misinformation, and omission to help Steinbrenner build his stadium. This should be repudiated by every person in New York City, but I understand of the limits these people have. A few concerned citizens cannot impact the process.

The Yankees have already received $965 million, they asked for another $360 million. That's more than what the stadium costs. Are you really this f***ing dense? How hard is this to comprehend? That doesn't smell fishy to you? The city and the Yankees changed the law to get this through. This isn't hard to comprehend. You're the only that doesn't seem to get it. This is getting annoying. The only that is showing bias, is you toward your team. I don't like the practice as a whole, and would be equally disgusted if the Red Sox were to fleece the city of Boston of $1.5 billion. You're being insulted, because your logic and justification is about what a five year old would come up with. It's insulting to everyone's intelligence to read your theories of fail.

Only if you don't include the team's other related investments. The Forbes magazine report did not include the YES Network, which rakes in a lot of cash. They also sold a portion of the YES Network for a hefty sum. http://www.hardballtimes.com/main/article/how-much-is-your-team-really-worth/

The issue is that a private entity that makes billions of dollars is colluding with government to take money from the working class. That's my main source of concern, and it worries me that people are so ready to concede that this is just part of life. Why? Who the f*** is telling us this s***? Why are we so eager to buy into it?

A f***ing Wikipedia link, and you're giving me s*** about writing stuff in the article? You are the biggest f***ing idiot on the board. That article also says the government is only paying 31% for CitiBank Field. Besides, when was that last updated? My article is from the 8th, when the Yankees asked for another $385 million to push the total over the $1.3 billion projected cost. Of course, this doesn't include the massive amounts of upkeep the city has to pay for, because they are leasing the team to Steinbrenner. He doesn't even have to pay rent where his stadium is. That's another $10 million a year saved. BTW. check your wikipedia article out.

lol Fail. Do you have any idea how much it cost the city to own the Yankees? The Yankees get the profits. The city pays for the maintenance, plus loses out on the revenue they could have got from putting something else there. http://query.nytimes.com/gst/fullpage.html?res=9907EEDE1631F935A1575BC0A961958260 There was no possibility. It was killed when Steinbrenner couldn't get New Jersey to pony up. Giuliani loved being in those parades. It also helps when cultist like you gobble every crumb they throw at you. http://slerp.rutgers.edu/retrieve.php?id=120-2 http://www.quinnipiac.edu/x1299.xml?ReleaseID=762 I'm calling you a tool, because you are being used like a device by Yankee officials and city politicians. You are one of the mindless drivel that accepts what you hear from your Great Leader (Steinbrenner) and your Dear Leader (Bloomberg). Despite massive amounts of empirical evidence, as well as how overwhelmingly simple it should take to understand this dilemma, you continue to believe that your Leader is really not ripping people off. The fact that this is the one of absolute worst display of a private entity colluding with government to rip off the other class of $1.5 billion dollars should deserve any thinking man's scorn. Oh, but you have Steinbrenner's sack in your throat.

The Yankees have NO leverage. They aren't going to leave the city. You and the other members of the harem refuse to read evidence that would contradict your Great Leader and Dear Leader. What a bunch of tools.

Fire Gruden.

Where are you getting 39%? The Yankees have received $1.5 billion from the city of New York. Quit being a tool.

I find the forced transfer of wealth from the middle class to the wealthy to be disgusting. It's a habit that our political leaders have gotten used to getting away with.

ya but he'll be gone..... forever

I don't know. I f***ing read sources that aren't waxing Steinbrenner's pole. Go in the Teixeira thread, and read the article I posted. Stop using the YES Network as your source. Yeah, they are. That's just the start up costs. The Yankees are going to cost the city additional money just by renting the place out for a sweet deal. http://money.cnn.com/2007/08/10/news/newsmakers/yankees_stadium.fortune/index.htm?section=money_topstories 26 to 6 http://failblog.files.wordpress.com/2008/12/fail-owned-looking-cool-fail.jpg

What you are posting is not true. You are lying to cover up the fact that your owner has fleeced the city of over $1.5 billion dollars. Wow. I can't believe someone who subscribes to the philosophy of Ron Paul would actually lap up this ******** being spewed by Steinbrenner. What a f***ing tool.

Wow. It's f***ing December 13th.
