You mean from 1965 to 1975, when they didn't make the playoffs? When they went 888-881 overall (winning more than they lost), and finishing 2nd, 3rd, or 4th (out of 10 teams in the division) in the last 6 of those 10 years... OH YOU POOR BABIES!!!
Since 1919, the Damn Yankees have won less than 70 games ONCE (67 in 1990). Try rooting for a REAL team someday, that knows the thrill of victory because they know actual suffering.
As I said, spoiled children. Nothing more.
That's one reason why I stopped watching baseball. And it's why I love "parity" in football. On any weekend, there are about 15 teams, or about half the league, whose games are worth watching.
Yes you can’t appreciate heaven till you’ve seen hell. Am a Red Sox fan.
Last night as the Tigers had a 4-0 lead the Stadium was very very quiet. It prob wasn’t a sellout to begin with (many blame high prices and some “real Yankee fans can’t afford to go”) but there were more and more empty seats (I watched on TV).
A couple times a feeble LET’S GO YANKEES! chant was heard. Then the 9th inning comeback and the fans came to life.
I was tired, went to bed but clock radio had game on. Dozed off and heard Tigers won, and heard of Jeter’s injury.
Admittedly some schadenfreude in A-Rod, Yankees etc.
The highest spending teams don’t always win it all. 2003:
Marlins feat. future Sox Josh Beckett and Mike Lowell beat Yanks in WS
Red Sox paid $50 million just for the right to talk to
Daisuke Matsuzaka’s agent —other than being a help at the start, how did it turn out? Oh, but they DID keep him away
from the Yankees...Red Sox high payroll, finished last though right...
