Jay- I understand what you're saying but there are two things going on here. As far as a business model, they are extremely successful. They have the second most valuable franchise in major league sports and an incredible revenue stream. But if they team is falling out of contention late in the season, it's no consolation to the fans that their bills are paid. They want to see a winner on the field, and that is a question mark.

Dave, I agree re Swisher.
Jay, I agree that Cliff Lee on this team certainly would have gotten them past Detroit. But a championship? I don't think so. And Barry, I obviously agree re next year. Too many holes, too much money invested in old, diminishing players. They may be starting a decline. Problem is, who will fill their void? No one else has their money!

we had the $100,000 infield with the philly a's...will we see a $100 million infield with the yankees?
don't worry yankees fans...if fat cc leaves and you got no pitching just throw 200mil at fat prince fielder and move the rf fence in another 50 feet. problem solved.

Jeff-I meant getting to the ALCS or World Series, not winning it. I would have thought that the Phillies were a lock for that but they are skating on thin ice with the Cards. Carpenter can easily throw a shutout.

I wasnt wrong about everything. I said we would go top game 5 and we did.
But I think its funny how people are saying Mo will be a problem next year. The guy is 41 and posted a 1.91 ERA with 44 saves. I think those stats wont change too much next year. Jeter still batted in the .290's. With Posada gone, I'm not worried about age that much. Also i guess you guys dont know that the Yankees have like 3 top starters in the minors almost ready to be brought up. Last edited by yanks12025; 10-07-2011 at 04:26 PM.

Jay, I wish you were right about Carpenter but Halladay in Philly? Good luck with that!
Brock, minor league pitchers are minor league pitchers. Maybe one will be in the rotation next year. And you were deadly wrong about the Yankees' starting pitching which did them in. Nova was inconsistent, CC was worse than Verlander, etc. The Yankees just aren't there. What happens next year when ARod has another bad year? And Jeter continues to not be the star he once was? As for Mo, I agree with you -- the dude is still stellar. I think he's got at least one more good year in him, maybe two. He's a freak and I think he'll retire with 700 saves.

A-rod could have a lot better season next year. He was injured this year and could get healthy once again.

They
may not stand a chance but go Brewers, love to see a team that has never won a world series go for it against the Tigers.
