Plus, this Yankees team really doesn't represent the "bloat" in the same fashion as some past units - two of their top-5 pitchers by VORP are making under 500k (and 4 of the top 10), as well as 2 of their starting 9 (who also happen to be quite solid contributors according to any measure).
Look, I'm a massive Red Sox fan and think the "Yankee mystique" is propagated by douche bags and half-informed tards - still, though, this is kind of a weird needling, and doesn't really fit with any sort of reasonable analysis.

I understand just how hard it may be for you to defend the Yank. But thanks for very kind posting.
Which I do agree with.

His beard is killing me! But, we love him anyway.
My 16 year old niece is in love with Garko, and keeps begging to stay up to watch the games on school nights.
Glad to have Iowa behind the Tribe.

I totally dispise the red sox. THere fans are almost as bad as the yankees.
The Indians lost. How did they collapse so much? All I have to say is Go Roockies.

GIDP to end a huge threat, followed by an error? This was really the beginning of the momentum shift, culminating with Pedro's HR - and completely ruining the momentum gained with Lugo's error.
These things can matter a ton over the course of a game or AB - it's certainly a different game if he drives in Lofton after the 3B coach hangs him at third for no apparent reason.

I'm not going to gloat, especially because I haven't seen much love for the Red Sox here. But I am, and will always be, a Sox fan. Win, lose, whatever.
GO SOX!
