Let's face it.
It's hard to compete with the Yankees when they buy all three of CC Sabathia, AJ Burnett and Mark Teixeira AND open a stadium this year heavily payed for by taxpayers.
This is the most store-bought team I can recall in ages. People whined about the Yankees in the late 90's, but I didn't see what was so unlikeable about how the Yankees operated back then. Sure, we later found out a number of them were on drugs (HGH, Roids, etc.); but so was much of baseball. Those Yankees were built on the essential pieces being from the farm.
They were nothing like this Yankees team that wasn't even in postseason last year and could never be without purchasing Sabathia, Burnett and Teixeira... lord, they were definitely put together to buy it this year. God bless the NFL.
