Virginia Giant Posted December 13, 2012 Share Posted December 13, 2012 Los Angeles Angels. So the Angels have adopted the Steinbrenner/Snyder philosophy of team management? 5 years $125 million. I knew he was gone since before the season and I'm not really sorry. Brilliant at times but also dis-a-fucking-pears waaaay too often. Plus he's a prima donna. The Rangers are going to spend money, but looks like they aren't just going to throw money around with bad deals like Greinke got and how Hamilton.

Clarence the Blue Puppet Posted December 13, 2012 Share Posted December 13, 2012 Spending money and not winning. Sounds like the Yankees alright. The Yankees built dynasties on role players, with a few select free agents and trades. When they started spending out of control in the early 200's, they stopped winning World Series.

Ex-fucking-actly. Same-Same in the 80's.....when they were the winningest team of the decade...not to win anything. You got your "Winfield Era" of the 80's ....and now we got our A-Rod Era of the 2000 and teens. C. Wgaon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They don't win when they spend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Allstarjim Posted December 29, 2012 Share Posted December 29, 2012 Um... didn't the Yankees win the series in 2009? Shortly after they brought in Sabathia and Teixeira? The Yankees have won the division the last two seasons. Got the wild card in 2010. So you've won the division 3 out of the last 4 years, been to the postseason all 4 of those years, won a championship, and in fact, there's only been 1 season in the last 10+ years the Yankees haven't made the postseason, most of them coming from winning the division. I realize that it's disappointing to make it to the dance a whole bunch of times but only get laid once... but damn, you guys are spoiled. I'm really hoping with what the Mets are doing now, getting D'Arnaud, having Harvey come on, Wheeler close, and Niese who has established himself, plus the merciful departure of Jason Bay, that this team is on its way to becoming a good team again, that might hopefully, one day soon, make it back to the playoffs.

fringe Posted December 29, 2012 Share Posted December 29, 2012 Wheeler is closing? Interesting. It takes 4 quality starters and a great bullpen to win the World Series. But chicks dig the long ball. I think the Rangers are going about it the right way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Allstarjim Posted December 30, 2012 Share Posted December 30, 2012 No, Wheeler isn't closing. I just meant he's close to getting the call up for good to the Majors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
