Rico Posted October 21, 2004 Share Posted October 21, 2004 That was one of the most disgraceful performances in Yankee history. But the Yankees will be back. Certain players have now proven that they are not worthy of wearing the pinstripes, and measures will be taken to see that they do not return. I look forward to seeing Carlos Beltran and a slew of new pitchers on next year's Yankees team. GO YANKEES!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I see Beltran and possibly Pedro in pinstripes next year with Bernie moving to the permanent DH spot. Sierra will probably be gone as well. We may keep Olerud as well.

Early rumors are Mike Lowell from Florida (Former Yankee minor Leaguer) and The Yanks think Giambi's better days are behind him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Man. You look at that list and you wonder how we got as far as we did. The silver lining is you know George already has the NYC and the Tampa families in the Room this morning. It's going to be a fun winter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn't mind seeing Lowell come in. The problem with NY is that there is so much pressure many players are great for other teams and then don't play well in NY. Just look at Weaver for example. He was a freak in Detroit and couldn't do anything in NY. It'll be interesting. I think we were one solid starter from making it to the series this year. Leiber did well though. That was a nice surprise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fezmid Posted October 21, 2004 Share Posted October 21, 2004 Of course they'll be back. When you have unlimited funds to buy anyone you want, there's no question that you'll be ultra-competitive. Now to root for whomever the Red Sox play, as the Sox are basically just a scaled down version of the Yankees. CW Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Johnny Coli Posted October 21, 2004 Share Posted October 21, 2004 2005 Yankees payroll = $300 million dollars 78821[/snapback] An exaggeration, but I see where you're going with it. Right now The Boss is pissed. Some heads will roll in the next couple days. Some bodies will wash up in the river. Money will be spent in the next two months. But, as a Sox fan, aren't you worried that Lucchino/Henry et al will be satisfied with this LCS win? Say you go to win the Series. These owners have a history of blowing teams up and reducing payroll. What I'm getting at is whether-or-not you're worried that your 2004 Sox are the '97 Marlins all over again?

SeanO Posted October 21, 2004 Share Posted October 21, 2004 Not worried, Fenway brings in enough Revenue not to have to blow it up for financial reasons, I think they will resign Pedro for much less & Veriteck for marketvalue!

Snorom Posted October 21, 2004 Share Posted October 21, 2004 of course the Yankees will be back They have the biggest unfair advantage in all pro sports. they will continue to outbid for top free agents, keeping other, less financially fortunate teams from fairly adding top FA players to their roster, while the Yankees continually maintain a roster that almost always guarentees them a playoff spot. I was a Yankees fan back inthe 70's, but never again. Glad Boston won this one, but since the Boston area has already won its share of Championships I won't be rooting for them in the Series.

They made a concentrated run at the trophy this year, but things would have to change, based on how much money they had to pay for the team.
