Better Know a Playoff Team: New York Yankees



Here are your Two Truths and a Lie about the New York Yankees, who had the best record in baseball at 103-59. 

1) This year's Yankees team had the youngest pitching staff of any Yanks team in 14 years, and its youngest lineup of the last 6 years.

 2) The team's 3 big offseason acquisitions, Mark Teixeira, CC Sabathia, and A.J. Burnett, combined to be worth 14.7 wins above replacement, or $66.1 million.  Including their huge signing bonuses, the trio earned a combined $64.5 million this season.

 

3) Alex Rodriguez is the primary reason the Yankees haven't won a World Series since 2000.

 

 

So what do you think?  Is this their year?  Will A-Roid finally show up in October?  Will you be joining BubbaFan in rooting on the boys in pinstripes?

I'll be rooting for the Yankees (playing Twins or Tigers)

For some strange reason, i feel like the Yankees and Yankee Stadium (we’ll see about the new one) are the only things that can’t be destroyed by Joe Buck and Tim McCarver. They seem intent on inventing drama where there is none, star power out of ordinary players, and interest when no one cares. But somehow the Yankees create their own drama and self-importance, good or bad, right or wrong. At least it’s real and not made up by the douchebags calling the game.
