RI Bills Fan Posted October 25, 2009 Share Posted October 25, 2009 How many were with the team, much less juicing, when they last won a WS? At least two, Giambi and Clemens, the last time they went, with a strong possibility that they weren't alone... Just Clemens the last time they won it... But I do have to concede that it was last century and 'roids weren't illegal yet. All though it is interesting to note that the Yankees haven't won a world series since 'roids became illegal...

Nevermind that there are well over 100 other players that have tested positive before it was illegal whose names havn't been released. But I get it, you have a point that you are trying to make, carry on Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phlegm Alley Posted October 26, 2009 Share Posted October 26, 2009 The last six World Series' haven't been competitive. 3 out of the last 5 WS were won in 4 games and the other 2 were won in a 5 game series. This matchup has the potential to be one of the best World Series in recent memory and, on a personal level, it is going to pretty interesting for me being a Yankees fan living in the heart of Phillies' country.

Radomski said he was sending Clemens (and probably Pettite) HGH in 2002. The Sox OTOH were definitely aided by Manny and Papi's juicing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Endless Ike Posted October 26, 2009 Share Posted October 26, 2009 I really hate baseball, but I was born outside Philly so I consider myself a Phillies fan. I didn't watch one baseball game last year but just for and giggles I consider them my #1 team. My second favorite baseball team, and very, very, very close second favorite is any team that pisses off a Yankees fan. Hey why not become a Cowboys, Notre Dame and Lakers fan too, complete the trifecta of douchebag teams. yeah, because ND's been so dominant for the past 20 years....

San Diego Bills Fan Posted October 26, 2009 Share Posted October 26, 2009 You have to love an organization that will do everything and anything to win! With the revenue that the Yankees generate and have to share with the other clubs all of the other teams want them to do well also. No body bitches about the Red Sox or Cubs or Dodgers who spend big dollars on free agents. Don't hate the players or the teams Hate the Game! GO YANKEES America's Team!

Doc Posted October 26, 2009 Share Posted October 26, 2009 Spending money doesn't guarantee anything. The Yanks haven't won the WS since 2000, the Redskins and Cowboys haven't won a SB since the mid-90's, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bbb Posted October 26, 2009 Share Posted October 26, 2009 Everybody talks about how rooting for the Yankees is so easy - the old saying was that rooting for the Yankees was like rooting for US Steel............So, I've been a fan for 40 years and they have won 6 championships in that time and they were in a two year and five year period, not spread out by any means............So, there have been stretches of 8, 18 and 9 years where they did not win championships during my fan lifetime............It just doesn't hold water when you really look at recent history.

Alphadawg7 Posted October 26, 2009 Share Posted October 26, 2009 They might not win or even get into the World Series, but they try their hardest. The exact opposite of the Bills organization. I get what you are saying...I am a hard core Lakers fan which helps offsets the losing by the Bills Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PromoTheRobot Posted October 26, 2009 Share Posted October 26, 2009 If you want to laugh...or cry...listen to the comments of joyous Yankee fans talking about "how long it's been" since the Yanks made it to the World Series, or "how hard it is on the fans to go through such a drought."

These people have no idea what a drought is. PTR I hear you. As a Bills/Yanks fan, I'm on both sides of this argument. I do think that part of what you're hearing is a product of the faithful wanting Jeter/Mo/Posada/Pettite to win one more for old time's sake. They're not going to be around forever.

Boo hoo cry me a river, I have been a Mets fan since 1983, they have won one championship in my 27 years of being a fan. Routing for the Yankees is the surest thing in any sport, even if they have not won a ws for 8 years. You know they are going to be competitive every year.

Yeah, they were real competitive when I was a kid in the early 70s......they were really competitive from '82-'95.........They friggin sucked. They sucked so bad they had the number one draft pick.......My Mets friend was doing a position by position and saying the Mets were better at every position, and he wouldn't even give me first base with Mattingly vs. Hernandez.
