October 21, 200421 yr I cannot wait to see what he's going to say tomorrow. Nor can I wait to see what he's going to do this off-season. He's gonna snap...
October 21, 200421 yr I cannot wait to see what he's going to say tomorrow. Nor can I wait to see what he's going to do this off-season. He's gonna snap... I think it'd be entertaining if he blew up the team ala the Indians a few years ago and decided to go on a youth movement. End pipedream. Begin reality. Five days after the World Series, the Yankees announce the signings of Carlos Beltran, Derek Lowe (buy who beats you), Adrian Beltre (then they teach him 2B), Troy Percival, and Guillermo Mota.

Don't forget Carl Pavano, Odalis Perez, and Matt Clement (can never have to many starting pitchers).
October 21, 200421 yr Come on now, you guys don't think he will go after shane halter, rey sanchez, and curtis pride?
October 21, 200421 yr You thought he was pissed when they lost in 2001... (if I may borrow the acronym from a certain poster on here) You Ain't Seen Nothin' Yet It will be ATLEAST $225 mill, maybe more.
October 21, 200421 yr You thought he was pissed when they lost in 2001... (if I may borrow the acronym from a certain poster on here) You Ain't Seen Nothin' Yet It will be ATLEAST $225 mill, maybe more. Life would be sweet if you are Carlos Beltran right now. I wouldn't be surprised at all if the Yankees offer him over $20 mil per to make sure he signs with them. And they probably sign multiple starters from this free agent market. And I wouldn't be surprised if they go after Beltre or Nomar and move one of them to second. This offseason could get out of hand.
October 21, 200421 yr I don't care how much money they spend. It will be years before they recover from this.

October 21, 200421 yr I don't care how much money they spend. It will be years before they recover from this. I doubt that. It is amazing how quickly you can forget if you sign beltran and some other stars.
October 21, 200421 yr I doubt that. It is amazing how quickly you can forget if you sign beltran and some other stars. No way. This wasn't just a choke job. It was something much worse. I can't even come up with the words. Even the Slubs wouldn't blow a 3-0 lead. I think the Yankees will be the cursed ones for a while.
October 21, 200421 yr Oh man, it's going to be crazy, I think the Cubs pipedream of signing Beltran has been completely axed. Realistically I see at the minimum Beltran, Pavano, and Randy Johnson (he will pay all his salary and just give the D'Back's money) If not the Unit then Clement or another top FA pitcher. I agree, this may be the offseason where it's obvious to all involved that the Yankees payroll fiasco has to stop
October 21, 200421 yr No way. This wasn't just a choke job. It was something much worse. I can't even come up with the words. Even the Slubs wouldn't blow a 3-0 lead. I think the Yankees will be the cursed ones for a while. Cubs could if they had the chance. The yankees will win a world series within the next three years because all of his spending is bound to pay of. Also the yankees will not be cursed because there is no such thing. Curses are just excuses for failure.

Maybe the baseball gods are against them or something. I think their days of actually winning it all are over.
October 21, 200421 yr The Yanks haven't won it all since 2000. Maybe the baseball gods are against them or something. I think their days of actually winning it all are over. Wow... a whole 4 years must suck to be them. And they haven't had any success at all, they've only been to two WS in that time frame. As everyone says, you get to the playoffs and its a crapshoot, you get there often enough and you are bound to win eventually.

As everyone says, you get to the playoffs and its a crapshoot, you get there often enough and you are bound to win eventually. Considering their astronomical payroll, not winning it all in the last 4 years is a major failure. They've got some serious holes in their pitching staff. Most of their position players aren't getting any younger. They've got nothing in terms of trade bait. Will they go out and adress these things in the off-season? Will see.
October 21, 200421 yr I am still wondering how a team with that high of a payroll has Miguel Cairo as its starting 2B
October 21, 200421 yr I am still wondering how a team with that high of a payroll has Miguel Cairo as its starting 2B Probally because he was doing to good for them to get someone at the deadline.
October 21, 200421 yr Whoever of Buck/McCarver/Leiter said it, they were right: a 3-0 choke job is possible if you have poor starting pitching. The Yanks bullpen was pretty damn unreliable too this postseason with Rivera really being the only go-to guy. I expect Stein to spend lots on pitching wherever he can find it. Maybe he'll just pay to invite every free agent SP to Yankees camp.
October 21, 200421 yr Maybe Stein will just say f*** it, all this spending is worthless. Ok no more pipe dreams.
October 21, 200421 yr Cashman axed? My bet is he'll be trying to go to the new Washington franchise as their GM. I beleive he has family down in that area.
October 21, 200421 yr My bet is he'll be trying to go to the new Washington franchise as their GM. I beleive he has family down in that area. Cashman will take the job in washington. Willie Randolph will go to the Mets and Giambi, Brown and whoever else the Boss hates will be gone.
