Most teams spend their money on development. The Yanks have historically spent on top free agents. Thus they get tagged with the label "best team money can buy". It's hardly their fault the Royals GM* doesn't know what he's doing.


*Nothing against kansas City or their fans. I just picked a team at random.

That and incredibly wise business acumen allow the Yankees to do what they do.

Never.

They're not a bad team but have to do something about the pitching. Roy Oswalt can only pitch once every 5 days. Are they resigning Tejada?

This very cool bit of journalism was emailed from Austria (thank you John). According to Google’s translator, the headline says: Precisely where this Trophy belongs to.

I assume that’s the translation of the Derek Jeter quote. Pretty cool to see what the Yankees World Series win looks like so far from home.

Looks pretty much the same, doesn’t it?
