So what if they had. Their core group knows what it takes to get the job done on the field. The Yankees are a Dynasty. They've had a core group in Jeter, Soriano, Petitte, Rivera, Posada, Williams, and know Soriano (who only played minor league ball in Japan). These Yankee teams are no different than the teams of the 40's and 50's. They had homegrown talent, and brought in outside talent. Are they any less of a dynasty? How the hell are they abusing anything. They pay a price for going over the luxury tax, but that doesn't matter to Steinbrenner at this point. Remember when the Yankees sucked? Hell for 14 seasons they didn't make the postseason. They where still spending money. So the f what. Having the ability (which the Yankees do) does not automatically give you championships. They have to go out on the field and earn it. The Yankees never won anything with Robin Ventura, and haven't won anything yet Mike Mussina. Paul O'Neill is a horrible example. I remember the trade for Roberto Kelly, and Kelly was considered the better of the two. Considering the Yankees have won 26 World Series championships and appeard in 39 more since 1920. When has baseball ever been a competive balanced game for more than a short period? Last years World Series was the worse of all time? Funny, the Yankees weren't involved. It was the upstart Angels vs Giants and Barry Bonds first World Series appearance. You know every season. I go into the season, not liking the Yankees. They aren't the same team has the 98-00 team. But once the postseason starts, and people bitch and complain about the Yankees. I suddently start rooting for them again. There's other reasons, like Joe Torre, Derek Jeter, Mariano Rivera, Bernie Williams. I can't help but want to see guys like that win. They are all big time players. They get the job done when it matters most. Besides, I love dynasties in sports. It's more of a certainty the best team will win in the end.

Anyone else intimidated by Niagra falls when they went there?

Another wrestler from Minnesota. Sadly, nothing suprises me in the business anymore.

All the teams close to Minnesota are in the East. That's really the conference they belong in.

A series moment. Hank Gathers collapsing on the court, and dieing. I still get tears in my eyes today, when I watch anything about that moment.

Pettite isn't leaving New York. Especially not to Philadelphia. But if I was a Phillies fan, I'd love that trade. Pettite would be one of the best starters in the National League.

Scott Norwood missed FG in Super Bowl XXV. I loved the Bills back than. Such an enjoyable offense.

Booo!

Vince's uncle Ed

Umm Dallas finished like a game behind the Spurs last year.

Don't wanna take anything away from Symons, but the numbers are in large part due to Texas Tech's offense.

I really hope Torre moves Johnson down in the lineup, maybe try Boone 2nd, or move Jeter back to the #2 spot. I don't think moving Soriano would be a bad idea, however he's been lead off all year, and that won't change know.

Baboo. The flaming genie.

Marlins in 7 I like Florida in Game 1. They have a RH heavey lineup, and will be able to hit Wells.

Does anyone have a list of the wrestlers that trained in the Hart Dungeon, and ended up being stars in the business.

The UFO picture is fake. Obviously No mention of the fake Nostrademus quadrant that circulated after 9-11?

Game 1 1991 World Series Game 1 1987 ALCS Game 1 2002 ALCS The Lakers and Magic Johnson's first game against the Timberwolves. In the Dome. The Halloween Blizzard 1991. We had like 29 inches.

I remember when people thought he was going to be the next Cecil Fielder. Who had just hit 51 HR's the previous season, after playing in Japan.

Considering Billy the Marlin doesn't work for Florida anymore. I would be pretty funny if the Yankees brought him up for Game 1 with full Yankee gear on.

No one wants suggest she may of messed up, and just crashed the plane into the Pacific. The Japanese story (which may or may not be true) sounds better and more heroic.

What happened with people who wanted to give UN inspectors more time. They said Iraq was the size of California, and it could take up too 2 years to search. After 4 months of the US searching, there was obviously never any WMD's at all.

Chuck Norris could always kick the kids asses if they get out of line.

What gives? This is the World Series.

A couple questions. Do you think the league will lockout next year? and if they do I've heard rumors that at least a couple teams would be contracted. If that turns out to be true, do you think it would a good thing for Hockey, or a bad thing?

Seattle That looks like the only gimme of the week.
