Yankees try to finish what boston couldn't.

[The Sleeper]

The Patriots went 14-2 under the same cap as teams that went 3-13. Why? good coaching, good defense, good draft picks, etc. not cause they payed up their asses for the star player. Saying every team is 8-6 is a ridiculous exaggeration. So what if the NFL playing field is more even now, it gives everyone a chance and the ones that truly deserve to win are the ones that do. When the yankees won in 96, it was great because they did it with home grown players such as jeter, bernie, pettite, rivera, etc. and they made some shrewd moves like getting john wetteland. They didn't have to rely on outbidding other teams for the best players. It makes me sad that this is what they are relying on now and I've lost interest in them because of it. Trading a solid player that could become a beloved yankee for Arod DOES cheapen their team. I wasn't around to watch the Washington Senators, but I was around when the Yankees won cause they deserved to, not cause they had the biggest checkbook.
