OMG, I am so happy. We got the two top free agents of 2008-2009 offseason, and atleast 3 of the top 10 free agents this year(pending on where you rank Burnett among this year's free agent class)

This is the best comment I've ever seen:

This just in, breaking news! Early reports indicate that Mark Teixeira had a sausage mcmuffin for breakfast, and he's considering going for a jog before lunchtime!

I am thoroughly surprised...the Yanks, outspending? Wow. Crazy.

I'm very happy their half-billion dollars of free agent signings will guarantee them third place in the AL East.

They're still under last year's payroll though, aren't they? With all the money that came off the books?

Please tell me what the Red Sox have over the Yankees? Starting pitching? No. Bullpen? No. Offense? No. The only thing they still have over the Yankees is defense

And at this point I'd put the Yankees above the Rays.

[Alloutwar]

I dunno...subtract the big contracts of Giambi, Abreu, Pavano, Mussina....and add in Cc, AJ, Tex. Plus what arb will cost for Nady, Bruney, etc. I-rod is gone, too, I guess. Maybe it equals out?

I'm sick of the Yankees... it's so pathetic how they try to buy the World Series every year... for shame

Now if we get Manny.....

Now if we get Manny.....

If you get Manny then I'm going to laugh when you grossly overpay him just like the other 3...


I'm going to laugh even harder when you finish 3rd in the AL East in 2009.
