Bought it, stole it, won it, had it given to them-- however you folks wanna rationalize it--------------- the WS trophy is home in the only place it belongs!!!!!

And STL fans- maybe the Cards can actually win just 1 playoff game next season for ya. Its been 3 yrs since they've even won a single playoff game. Talk about "irrelevant".

The New York Yankees won it fair and square with the rules in place right now in Major League Baseball. They played better against the Philadelphia Phillies and the best team won the World Series without a dobut. New York had the least holes of any team in baseball and did very good, indeed.

where's the xanax?

The Yankees are the best team that money can buy. Only took them about a Billion dollars in salary to win one championship this decade.

EXACTLY!!!

Major League Baseball is a complete joke in this regard and one of the biggest reasons I am no longer a fan of MLB.

Who give's a sh!t if your team can go out and buy a championship and then have pathetic fans come in here and try to talk smack?

"Baseball's four league championship series teams were all among the top nine in opening-day payroll this year, led by the top-spending Yankees at $201 million. They were joined by the No. 6 Angels ($114 million), No. 7 Philadelphia ($113 million) and the No. 9 Dodgers ($100 million)."

No room for the little guys.

TB bucked the trend last year with a $51 million payroll that was 28th out of 30 MLB teams.

Go Royals, Pirates, Brewers!! F the Yankees and their bankroll!

actually, they got 2 -2000 and 2009

sure sounds like a lot of crying from the "have nots". Sports Talk radio in NYC has been awesome today -laughing at all the crybabies saying the Yankees bought it and making fun of Jimmy Rollins and his stupid predicitons.

You give Cowboys fans a bad name.

When they finally wise up and institute a salary cap in Major League Baseball, the Yankees will never win another title.

They spent DOUBLE the payroll of the Phillies to buy a championship.

Pulling for the Yankees is like going to Vegas and pulling for the house.

Okay...this post is f'ing awesome. Dak10 is a Pirates and Bucs fan. Pittsburgh and Tampa...only common thread is they have swashbucklin' mascots.

I'm serious when I say that kicks ass.

MemphisTiger15 is a joke. He's not from NYC...his Oklahoma daddy liked Mickey Mantle...which gives him license to act like he was born and raised in the Bronx.

I am not a Yankee hater but dam I think you are pushing me that way. Good lord get a life. If other opinions dont matter then why are you here telling us how great the yankees are and we suck cause some people on here said negative things about them. I really could care less about major leauge baseball but the Yankees did what it took to win so give it up for the Yankees.

I have no problem with the outcome...the Yankees beat us. We didn't lose it. They had better pitching than the Phils and were able to get the timely hits and the Phillies couldn't.

Here's hoping for a rematch next year.

I don't know...fewer strikeouts by Ryan Howard and more effective pitching by Cole Hamels could have done it...

It's not like the Phils were overrmatched, they just underperformed.

Bull. They'll still manage to win, maybe not as often. None of these salary caps or revenue sharing or playoffs or BCS alterations have really changed who's always on top. Decade to decade, the teams, programs, franchises with a commitment to winning will still manage to draw talent. What may change it is ownership, or a small window of time.

And please spare me this "bought a championship" crap. That ignorantly overlooks the importance of chemistry which is the difference between this Yankees team and the past eight or so years when they've whiffed. And it distinguishes the Yankees of this year from say the Mets, Angels, and Dodgers.

You can't throw money at a league and win. The Yankees have proven that, because of the years they haven't. You can throw money and improve chances of making the playoffs, but all that gets you is the Red Sox and Cubs of the Eighties. Appearances, but no pennants.

Instead of a salary cap, impose a salary floor. Force KC, Pittsburgh, etc to spend, instead of pocketing the revenue shared socialistically by the Yankees, to the detriment of their teams, players, and fans. Fans who are so blind by loyalty they are more focused on the Yankees playing the right way *under the current rules* than they are lighting a fire under their own franchises' a$$ to get better.

Same here, lol. I was actually happy to see the Yankees win. But fans like this with an overinflated sense of the importance of such a victory don't reflect well on the their fanbases.

way to buy the world series

Since their last WS title in 2000, the Yankess have spent over 1.5 BILLION dollars in payroll.

Over ONE BILLION FIVE HUNDRED MILLION DOLLARS to finally get ONE WS this decade.

1.5 BILLION dollars.

'bout time.

Congrats Yankees.

I'm just glad baseball season is over with. Now i'm on to more important stuff like the stretch run of college football and the NFL. And High School playoffs just started in PA.

ya im glad baseball is over as well
