The New York Yankees end the ‘00’s decade the same way they started it, with a championship.
Although they did not win a championship between the bookends, The Bombers totaled 2 championships, 4 AL Pennants, 8 AL East titles, and 1 Wild Card. With all the degradation of the Yankees falling off the MLB pinnacle since 2001, the ’09 campaign quickly reverses the polarity of the once again, “Evil Empire.”
For the second decade in a row, the Yankees are the most successful team of the last 10 years. Now before all the haters whip out that payroll crutch they hold on to so tightly, try to achieve a little balance before scarfing down that double deluxe envy burger, dripping with venom. Of course the Yankees spend more money than any other team, they have to. If their commitment to winning wasn’t equal to the percentage of gross they bring in, the fans would be outraged. All that would be discussed is how greedy and selfish the Yankee ownership is with their profits. “How can that team make so much and spend so little?” That’s what the new hate mantra would be if the Yankees did not have their current business model. In fact, they go above and beyond what any organization does for their fans in terms of a commitment to winning. The Yankees do not have to spend nearly the amount they currently do to give their fans a great team. They do it, because they care. They actually care about winning. Not just pocketing profits year after year, like many of the MLB franchises crying foul because they are not willing to slice off a piece of the profit pie for the well being of their roster.
Go ahead and scream, “They bought a championship,” until you’re vocal chords pop. Go ahead, and push aside the fact that money alone in no way shape or form guarantees you a championship. The World Series is the most difficult championship in all of sports to conquer. After you spend the money, you still have to actually win the pennant and World Series. Teams can’t just purchase World Series Rings online, unless we’re talking about Lenny Dykstra’s. Yankee fans should stop being defensive about the amount of money the team spends; instead they should embrace it as a compliment. “Yeah that’s right, my team makes more money and spends more money than your team. What’s wrong with your team? Why can’t they generate more income? Why doesn’t your owner think of innovative ways to increase revenue? Why doesn’t your team have their own cable channel? Why doesn’t your team put a large chunk of the profits back into personnel? Why don’t your fans fill the seats?
For the 27th time the New York Yankees are the best team in baseball. When a sports organization reaches their ultimate goal for the 27th time, it just might be time to halt the resentment and simply tip your cap.

Damn Yankees.
Why did A-Rod put the piece of chewing gum in his hand before jumping into the pile on the last out of the game?
Its amazing how much talent a team has to have to win a world series with an idiot as the manager.
Girardi was awful, and I wanted him fired about a 100 different times this year.
I hold out hope for him though because I loved him as a player and really like a former Yankee managing the team. He did improve from the dismal job in the ALCS to the World Series. He really needs to ship out Phil Coke ASAP. Marte is the goto lefty. At least he figured that out before it was too late.
When I heard that JJ Hardy was traded on Saturday, I actually thought it was the Yankees that traded for him to replace Jeter after watching his grandma-like quickness to groundballs to short. I was wrong, though.
I'm sorry Regs I was too busy counting up all the Yankees championships to accurately read your post.
Something about Jeter being the greatest short stop of all time and better than any player you've ever cheered for.
I think that was the jist of it.
It actually took CC honing his skills in Milwaukee last year to finally win a championship.
Let's please also only include the Yankees championships since the 80's in the bragging. Baseball teams before then could sign anyone they wanted and they kept their rights for as long as they wanted. Talk about unfair.
First of all, nobody hones anything in Milwaukee.
And that's the great thing about the Yankees Regs, no matter what period of baseball you're talking about, they still have the most championships.
So whatever, free agency, no free agency, 154 games, 162 games, ALCS, ALDS. The Yankees are still the best. How versatile!
Awwwwww, how cute. Look its a Brewer fan trying to talk shit about the GREATEST FRANCHISE IN THE HISTORY OF PROFESSIONAL SPORTS! Now run along and get ready for another "around .500 season" from your little league level talent Brewers!
Greatest franchise?!?!?!
Child please.
Other than this year, the Yankees have been the laughingstock of the league over the last 8 years. The ONLY thing that they were known for is being overpaid, under achievers. They couldn't even beat out the fucking Tampa Bay Rays last year, even though they had a payroll over $150 million more.
When you talk about the greatest franchise ever, the conversation starts and ends with the Green Bay Packers. Ever since the team started, they played by the same rules as the other teams. No hoarding players, or overspending. Just fine management.
Enjoy your championship this year because it will probably be awhile until your next one.
Regs, you sir, are a complete lunatic.
The conversation starts with the Packers and ends with about 50 franchises that are better! By the way the Jeter and his grandma like quickness just won another gold glove!
You know what I'm going to change my mind. I agree with Rob. The Yanks are not the greatest sports franchise.
I've also changed my mind about a few other things . . .
-Jordan is not the best basketball player.
-New York is not the most famous city.
-Soccer is not the #1 European sport.
-Latina women are not hot.
-Umpires are the most accurate and competant officials.
-And last but not least . . . OJ was innocent.
There, now if you'll all excuse me I have to get the cafeteria because it's tapioca pudding day AT THE CRAZY HUT!!!
