I don't stick up for the Yankees, in fact I hardly talk baseball on this board ever. I stick up against whiny cunts who make excuses for a team completely gagging away a game that was in the bag.

No, you ignore advantages. The Yanks come back on people because they've got the expensive bats to do it, and they've got the expensive closer to usually ice the game off. There aren't many closers that can keep a guy from 3rd, with no outs, from scoring. We've seen your hi-priced closer do these things, and then Yankees act like they did something. You paid. That's what ya did. You're paying out twice as much as most teams, and then you say "voila!" As I've told Simon, I didn't think this Feliz guy is good enough to shut down the best teams late in games. His stuff simply doesn't dart enough for me. Regardless, he's a rookie, or whatever. I'm sure if they had your closer, then, they easily ice the game off in the 9th. More often than not, that's what would happen. You're at a huge advantage here. I am surprised when any team holds you off. It's an unfair situation. Of course Yankee fans love that advantage, and call anybody who exposes them a "whiner." I am not whining. You don't deserve credit for buying games.
