See, us fans, we care about winning, the stats... you dont win... you dont contribute when it counts... you will be on the other end of a verbal lashing. |
But... you only really watch when the Yankees are in the playoffs, in September, and when they play the Red Sox. Is that really a "fan?" Let's see you watch all 162 when the Yankees finish in last place, like I had for the last 3 years before this one. You're not a fan if you only watch/care when your team is in the playoffs. |

| what about me? I admit it, I can't devote myself to watching every game that doesn't make me less of a fan of my team and the sport. I mean I played the game for 15yrs of my life into Div2 College, but now with a working schedule and stuff, I simply can't devote any time to following the sport (fantasy leagues/football betting). I use to bet heavy on football say 2-3yrs ago, ever since then I haven't followed the sport. I'm still a fan don't get me wrong. I enjoy watching games both baseball and basketball, just that I simply can't devote time to keep up with stats and stuff. I can only voice my opinion about my team, I guess that's how I am a fan. Is it any different than what some of you consider fans, I can say a good amount have already demonstrated their depth of knowledge but that doesn't make you anymore the fan of the sport/team than I right? |

Well... here's the Yankees rotation next year:
Randy Johnson
Mike Mussina
Carl Pavano
Jaret Wright
Shawn Chacon
So... the rotation is pretty set. 4 of those pitchers are untradeable without paying their entire salary. And the other one is the one pitcher you wouldn't want to trade. |
what about chin ming wang? |

What about him? Bullpen or trade bait is what I'd guess. |

We all know that there are some who simply can't devote time to their team/sport. Then there are others who choose not to and show up at their respective stadiums/arenas/fields with their $1,000 suits in October/January/April/etc. |

Hey don't hate on corporate perks. How do you think we land a 15,000 unit sale to Amazon at a deep discount? We offer up perks such as Yankee Tickets, U2 Tickets, etc. It's the nature of business, gratitude is expected when people talk business. And on that note, I had the corporate box on the 8th for the U2 concert with a Google Rep (a friend of mine LOL) who was interested in doing business with us (while they were getting sued by the Authors Association) just so I can vouch for the box, too bad a Senior VP from Businessweek took it from me LOLS. CRAP! |
