Titles." was meant for KrodaMets 2nd here is my reply to your earlier statement why i dislike the Yankees this time edited to make the post =) "Vcarver - Allow me to correct my earlier statement. What I should of said is I really can’t stand Yankee Fans at least those that act like they are entitled and gloat due to their legacy instead of appreciating how lucky they are hence I root against Yankees. Those Yankee Fans that act like they are entitled to something simply because of the pinstripes. I hold no grudge against the likes of Jeter, Mariano or many others they are c-l-a-s-s acts."

But that's not why I hate the Yankees. For the most part, their HOFers are legit. And except for the years when they had many PEDs cheaters, their titles are legit. If they can get titles on a more or less even playing field, that's great. A $220 million payroll is not an even playing field. btw, any word with a-s-s in it will hold up your comment. You can't say "he's a c-l-a-s-s-y guy" for example. And there are other totally innocuous words that will send your message to purgatory. One thing you can do in the future if it happens again is try posting your message in parts so you can isolate the offending word and change it. jersey, since some of your comments got held up, I’m not sure what the full context of your reference to HOFers and WS titles is.

My main intention of posting in this thread was to say I think Vaccaro's column was a bunch of rubbish. There are many like you. But I ask you this ... why do you hate the Yankees? As you said, they are playing within the rules. For me, I hate them because even though they are playing within the rules, they have decided to thumb their noses at the spirit of the rules that have been adopted by the 29 other clubs. I hate them because they throw their money around recklessly in a way that's bad for the game in the long run. If the Yankees win the WS in '09, I bet most Yankee fans will be happy, but I'm sure there will be a contingent who will find little glory in the way they did it. I also believe their will be a sizable amount of derision in the media over their questionable accomplishment. BTW, I am in favor of an even stricter LT system or even some sort of salary cap. jersey, I have no intentions of trying to persuade you to change your mind.

I "CAN'T STAND" the Yankees but they are playing within the rules. I wonder how many Yankee fans will puke if they win W.S. in 09 due to having highest payroll? If teams decide one day they don't agree with what Yanks are doing then institute a hard cap till then the Yankees are doing what they feel will win them a W.S. I stand by my earlier statements. Vcarver –
