Yanks offer Bernie Williams arbitration

According to the article, the move is probably with the understanding that Williams will decline, and gives extra time to negotiate.

the yanks have reportedly signed lefty reliever mike meyers.

Myers is a rarity in MLB:  a left-handed pitcher that throws underhanded like Tekulve...

the post is reporting that nomah to the yanks is looking more likely...he would play 1B.

"Way!"

yankees front office is garbage...trash...an absolute embarassment...just a black hole where teams can dump their overpaid 35 + year olds.....they havent won anything in 5 years...and are moving backwards with ruthless efficiency

a lineup already loaded with bats is going for johnny damon and nomar

george is playing fantasy baseball with a 230 million dollar mess

you think 5 years is a long time? 

oh, and they haven't even made an offer to damon.  in case you haven't noticed, they haven't gone after 1 big money free agent this offseason...but don't let facts get in the way.

no...george does..as well as their fanbase and the new york media...and the national media...and derek jeter and....

you got 1 right...steinbrenner.  and he's an idiot.

but feel free to agree with him.

youre gonna tell me the fans in new york and the players didnt expect to win a championship at some point in the last five years...200+ mil isnt being dropped to win the wild card

[hunt]

here we go again.  their payroll is high.  wah.

btw, your entire premise is way off.

they havent won anything in 5 years...and are moving backwards with ruthless efficiency

they haven't won the world series in 5 years...they've made the world series and won the division several times, including last year...which isn't bad considering they're moving backwards with ruthless efficiency.
i, and the rest of the yankees fanbase, can survive a 5 year world championship drought...don't worry about us.

but i know...their payroll is high....and that makes you

So, wait... the Eagles win the division four straight years and win the NFC and Andy's doing a zesty job, yet when Joe Torre "accomplishes" roughly the same, he's a hero and the Yankees are doing great?

Whew...  I wish I was a Yankees fan.  Their drugs must be teh awsum!

[PoopyfaceMcGee]

The difference is that Torre did win one before the "drought"
