Yankees again???

Gonzaleznut said:

Let me preface this rant by saying that I am a diehard Rangers fan so I am clearly rooting against the Yankees in the ALCS, but I can honestly say that even if the Rays won I would be rooting against the Yankees.

Now, onto my point. Other than 10 million New Yorkers, does anyone else really want to see the Yankees again in the World Series? It is almost comical how the Yankees and their fans seem to think it is their birthright to be in the World Series every year. As a baseball fan it is simply boring and tiresome. I like seeing different teams get their opportunity. It is more fun with a Cinderella matchup like the Rockies from a few years ago or Tampa in 2008. It was even great to see the Red Sox finally break the curse.
Now that I have said my peace...GO RANGERS!!

Welp, it's that time of year again. Time for the "I hate the Yankees being in the post season again" complaints.

Hey Phillies fans...at the rate your team is winning, the complaints should start soon about them too.

Did anyone complain about the Braves making all the post seasons they did?

I hate the Braves, But they could only win one WS in that period. Sorta like hating the 90's Bills, Going a few times in a row means nothing if you dont win.

90s Bills=Fail.
You get to the Super Bowl 4 times in a row and you can't even win 1?

That's easy for you to say. You obviously aren't a Phillies fan. Think of those poor chumps. ALL those years..... year after year after year..... getting beat by the Braves for the Pennant.

I heard it eventually forced the Phillies to build a new stadium AND start printing money. GO BRAVES!

the yankees dont buy championships. championships take a special mojo that teams like the 09 yankees happened to have. lacking this energy also kept them from winning rings previous seasons throughout the 2000s. not saying you cant generate this by financial means (bringing on chemistry guys, for instance) but you cant force chemistry.

what the yankees do buy, however, is playoff berths. it would be almost impossible to spend over 200 mil a year on players and not make the playoffs. which makes the 2008 yankees that much more amazing.

the fact that the yankees dont win the world series every year with that payroll proves 1 or both of the following things:
a. the playoff system is wildly and hilariously flawed.
b. cashman is incompetent.

to clarify: im not bitching that this happens, just explaining it.

And winning one world series on top of it... Nothing like watching a team choke and choke and choke and choke year after year. I hate them for never understanding how such a great team could fall apart so easy. Phillies needed a new stadium because The Vet was a rat infested death trap hell hole with gangs of wild cats that would attack people. But it did fit in the low life area it was in, filled with philthdelphians. People from that city disgust me on so many levels.. GO PHILLIES!!!!
