Yankees try to finish what boston couldn't.

[Keyser Soze]

First of all I want to say that the Yankees are lucky to have someone like Stienbrenner, who constantly funnels his profits back into his team. There are other owners in baseball that take the money they earn, or receive from collective bargaining, and stick it right back in their pockets.

As a Mets fan, I wish the Mets had an owner who cared about his team as much as George does. I can't hate the Yankees cause they do what it takes, within the rules of the game. I'm more jealous than anything else that they have a front office and ownership that truly wants to win. Sure there are cases where teams simply cannot afford to compete, and the big teams like the Yankees subsidize them. There comes a point where you have to say, sorry guys, you just don't have the fan base to support baseball in your town. This isnt a charity, this is a business.

I can understand the perspective, however, that its more rewarding to win with homegrown talent than to buy your way to a championship. The Yankees have more pressure on them to win now more than ever and will be mocked endlessly if they wind out losing to a team built from the ground up.
