Yankees Parade 2009: Here's the Plan

Hey Nancy... show me in the rule book where the ONLY team allowed to spend money is the Yankees. If Bill Gates bought a team, he could do the same. To bad the other cheap owners aren't for winning, just for lining their pockets. GO YANKEES !!!

And the 100 million the Yankees pay in luxury tax where does that go? what do the teams that suck do with the money?? They put it in their pockets and dont spend 1 dime on building their teams up. Yankees draw 4 million at home and 4 million on the road, what does that tell ya. It tells ya not only in the Bronx do the fans come out to see them but they do across the country as well. Any good company invests in ITSELF and when you do, you get the results same as the Yankee's do. Now for all you 2nd rate fans of losing teams, don't you wish your team was GREAT like OURS....CHA CHA CHA..

WAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!

Nancy, I do understand your envy !!!!

Is your congratulations real or toungue in cheek?

This team is comprised of a lot of good guys.
The Yankees did spend, so what. The spent on the right guys and let the stiffs like Giambi, Abrue and couple of non contributors out the door.

Texeira was a wonderful addition; the Red Sox had him but lost him. CC was better than advertised.
Swisher was an inexpensive addition via a trade.
Burnett contributed to the pitching staff.

The best signing this year---PETTITE, an original core with Jeter,Posada, and the superlative MARIANO !!!!!!!!!

These guys play the game right, always have, with class, professionalism and total dedication to their craft. No pompous claims, no disrespecting the opponent, no fake gyrations after a doing their job. The are admired by Yankee fans and by most knowledgeable fans.

True ambassadors for baseball!!!!

For the last 9 years all I heard was you cant buy a Championship.Now everone is saying best money can buy.Talk to your tight wad owners.

"Congratulations to the best team money can buy? what a bunch of haters, if that was true they would win it every year. when was the last time they won? 2000, that's when, you must be Phillies fan, Oh well maybe next year.

I think anyone with the means would do the same as if you own a business you spend what you have to to be a success. If they can build a winning team with their money, good for them. We won, get over it and don't forget it has been 9 years and if money could buy wins then we would be doing it every year. Go Yankees, your the best!!!!

stop whinning

If you noticed a lot of empty seats--it may have been due to the fact that it costs a small fortune to buy those seats. I don't know about most people, but in this economy, I would be hard pressed to come up with a few thousand dollars per ticket to purchase World Series tickets, and I am a lifelong Yankees fan. I did see two regular season games this year, and paid over one thousand dollars(for a total of four tickets)per game. I would have loved to see one of the series games, but the price was way to steep for my budget. Hopefully, I'll plan ahead for next year's World Series, as this is clearly the the beginning of a new dynasty!

Well, the game was sold out, empty seats could be attributed to people buying tickets hoping to sell them, and no one paying $1,000's for tickets... but i don't have any basis for this, just a theory.

I have a feeling those seats are held by people hawking them at very steep price and would not sell for less (after making thousands on tickets sold). They know there are people waiting for them to drop the price but like to stiff these people.

the reason those seats are empty is because they ate 10000 a game, also, i was there last night and didnt see an empty seat anywhere so idk what you are talkin about
