Sure. Every team makes good and bad decisions...the difference is that the Yankees can afford to make far, far more mistakes than anyone else, and not feel it (Hideki Irabu, anyone?). They have a ridiculous margin of error to work with.
The more money you have, the less efficiently you have to use it. I may know more about baseball than say, you, but if you have twice as much money to field a team with, it probably won't matter.
Or, to put it in terms fitting to this venue: the Yankees are a $200 million movie that makes $210 million.

I don't pay much attention to baseball since I moved out of St. Louis (used to be able to walk to games)...but...how does overpaying players make you win? They have to be doing something else right....
Also, you used the clam chowder line last year (only you oh-so humorously spelled it "chowdah"). You could've at least said something about bleaching our Nomar jerseys. Contemporize, man.
Dude, anytime you want to explain to me how it makes any sense to root for the team that routinely wins by exorbitantly overpaying players, rather than through superior management, be my guest.
Drunk.
God-zir-ra!
Or even Giambi.
And next year when Gimabi is healthy again...the Yankees are going to have a REALLY good line-up.
Yea, because the Yankees win 90% of the time, and have since they acquired Babe Ruth.
1978-1996 is a good long stretch in Baseball terms.
Well, not if your a Red Sox or Cubs or White Sox fabe. Then it's just a drop in the bucket. But for most franchises, you'd say an eighteen-year drought is not exactly impressive.
But yes, the Yankees are evil - whine, whine, whine.
Go cry in your clamchowder, BoSox fans.

Hey, what can I say? Clearly the devil is keeping up his end of the bargain, you soulless bastard.
My crack about blackjack remains the definitive summation of how inane rooting for the Yankees is.

Aaahhh, a League Championship Series in a sold-out Fenway park and except for the ever-present cracks of Yankee bats hitting balls hard and fair, it sounds more like a tennis match than a ballgame.
Go Sox!
