The Yankess have a 200 million dollar payroll, there are 6 other teams in the MLB under 30 million, the Yankess can't even buy a championship. And there needs to be a salary cap in the MLB. 200 million vs 30 million hmmmm. It's not right, and the part I love the most is that they still can't win a world series, even with all the advantages pointed towards them. Steinbrenner, the yankees, and NEW YORK YANKEE FANS ARE THE WORST THING TO HAPPEN TO BASEBALL...... GO TIGERS!!!!!!

Yankees are thin with starting pitching. The recent loses in the playoffs were the result of lousing pitching.
There is revenue sharing in MLB. What's intriguing is that there are as many playoff teams from the top 10 payrolls (three) as there are from teams from the bottom half.
On Opening Day, the Yankees had a payroll of $198.7 million, which naturally topped 'em all. But the Tigers were next among AL playoff participants, ranked 14th at $82.3 million. Next comes Minnesota ranked 19th ($63.8 million) and Oakland ranked 21st ($62.3 million).
Most fans would love to have an owner like Steinbrenner all the money the team makes he spends it trying to win a championship.Bottom line you win with talent and here in Detroit we saw that with the Detroit Red Wings Mike Ilitch out spent the rest of the NHL to bring the Stanley Cup to Detroit and it worked.
Go Tigers!

someday you may hear a loud POP!! and that will be the sound of you pulling your head out of your butt
The reason that those 6 teams have payrolls of only 30 million is that they can't generate enough income to have a higher payroll
and the reason they can't generate enough income is, ready?
Lack of fan support
The Cubs suck and yet their fans support them. The Marlins are getting better and yet their fans stay away in droves.
Another factor often overlooked is the ex-New Yorkers significant financial contribution to the home teams bottom line. Whenever the Yankees or the Mets play on the road attendance in that ballpark always goes up. It is therfore benificial to the financial health of all the remaining 28 teams to have two good competive New York teams
Whats wrong about your anti-Yankee tirade is that you in effect are dissing the people that support you and allowing whatever little grey town you live
in to declare that they are a major league city because they have a major league ball team- that they can't support.
The fact of the matter is MLB expanded beyond supportable limits and the only solution to that problem is a 6-10 team reduction. The game will be much healthier for it.
I always find it ironic that when the captains of capitalism find themselves in financial difficulties the always seek socialistic solutions like revenue sharing and publicly financed stadiums.
The Yankees will be fine and they may even win this thing in five.
and if they do they can get past Oakland.
BTW where's Denny McClain these days ?

As Yogi said it ain't over till its over. You Yankee haters are all alike. Steinbrenner fields the best team he can for the NY fans and everyone says he buys/steal whatever Championships. If your owners spent the luxury tax on players instead of putting it into their pockets you might have a team that's been in the playoffs for 10 straight years, won 4 World Series, been in 6 Series and have been the AL East Champions for the past 9 years. Remember whomever the Yankees put on the field they still have to play the game and I hope they trounce the Tigers in their backyard.
GO YANKEES!!!

It's sad how aroggant and ignorant most of these Yankees fans that I see on Y! are (not saying all Yankees fans are). The Yankees should not have pressure to win because they have a 200 million dollar payroll that pays for players that can play under pressure, like A-Rod. Whoever answered by saying the Yankees have too much pressure on them to win, that's a load of Bulls***.

Money doesn't buy victory. It also doesn't buy heart, which is something the Yankees haven't had for years. What do you expect from an organization that buys all the best players but doesn't have a team that's been knitted together through both triumph and failure, victories and losses? Having a lot of good players won't always make a good team, but a bunch of average players can sometimes make an excellent team.
Go Cards!!!

Nine superstars does not equate to the best team. Baseball is a team sport. If every one of your batters is going up there swinging for the fences, you will lose every time. With all that talent and money being spent, the expectiations are set extremely high, maybe too high.

Don't get all worked up yet.
The Yankees are not out of it yet, and neither are The Tigers.
My biggest pet peeve with yankee fans is that they get all "uppity" when they win....The Tigers only won 1 game. It is a 5 game series, plenty of baseball left.
Tiger fans, relax! I know it was good to win a game...but lets not lower ourselves to the level of yankee fans (most, not ALL of them).

I wouldnt really call a team that has been in post season for the past 10 consecutive years, sells out almost every game, and have won 26 World Series in 39 appearances (which, since the first World Series in 1903, currently amounts to an average appearance every 2.8 seasons and a championship every 3.9 seasons)... doesnt sound so lousy to me

One name comes to mind. Alex Rodriguez, no team he has been on has won anything while he was with them. Seattle was great after he left, Texas actually got better without him. Why? He is a selfish arrogant bum. He is also a great individual player, just not a team player.

they get too much pressure put on themselves by having all the superstars. like arod this year, he batted like .285 with 34 home runs and 115 rbi's and was getting critisized for his lack of production.
i mean that season is a good season.
but when all their outfielders got hurt and the young kids came up, they started winning.
