When will the Yankees get it?

All of New York, and almost all baseball fans know by now that the Yankees were eliminated from the playoffs yesterday. Im happy they lost, but not because I hate the Yankees-- I actually like most of their players, but I feel that their loss is really significant for baseball and Yankees fans.

My problem starts with the organization. It seems like ever since I was a kid, Yankees Management has always tried to "buy" the best team. Every year, instead of calling up players from their minor league teams or going after smaller trades, it seems that they've always went after the most flashy and expensive free agents or trade seekers.

This may have worked for a couple of years when they won 4 or 5 consecutive championships in the late 90's. But, WOW!!! Look at how that's backfired on them! They've got the highest payroll in the league and they struggled to make into the playoffs! Honestly, if my team, the Mariners, didn't have horrible, unexplainable losing streaks the Yankees would've never made the post season!

My second beef is with Yankees fans. Get over it already!!! They can't win all the time! And what do expect when you have a team full players that only care about their own personal stats? And, Im not even gonna begin to speak about how lame it is to blame the coach...(*cough, cough, fire Brian Cashman!!! *cough, cough)

So, that's enough because I don't care to speak anymore about a team I don't like. Hopefully, for their fans, Yankees management will work out a better strategy to help them play, and win, with some kind of dignity...
