Hate the Yankees
Quote:

I hate the Yankees but not because of money. How many owners out there have money but refuse to spend any of it to make their team better (ie Sterling with the Clips...he had to spend the money this year because there is a minimum salary cap in basketball also). I hate the Yankees because I think George is a big retard and have really hated them since Billy Martin was there coach all 200 times.

The one thing wrong with that statement is that George does not have to spend his own money. The Yankee revenues allow them to spend whatever they want, and allow George to never dip into his own pocket (ie. run the team in the red).
It also allows them to cover up MANY talent judgement errors. ie. all that money to Drew Henson to be a bust - they just acquire Aaron Boone. Jeff Weaver isn't what we thought so lets spend $32m on Jose Contreras - oh wait he is performing is hurt etc..., no problem we'll get Benitez - oh he's not what we thought, we'll eat that money and get Jeff Nelson.....
Don't like Raul Mondesi anymore, eat his contract and send him out of town.. same with Rondell White, Sterling Hitchcock...... the list goes on and on of those "talent judgements" which other teams would have to live with.
They could take the "gamble" on unknowns like Soriano and Matsui with out worrying about "what happens if they don't adjust to the major leagues..."
All that being said, yes I am a red sox fan.
