What a great World Series . Being that Im a diehard Steeler fan for over 35 years , Im also a diehard Yankee fan for the same amount of time . What a year I had . Steelers win the Super Bowl in Feb and then Yanks win the World Series in Nov . !!!!!!! Sweet !

I'm not happy (except for Jeter) but I'll congratulate the Yanks anyway.

Number 27 baby! Mariano is god!

Retarded!

I have yet to see a pitcher be the determining factor on OFFENSE for any team. Besides AL pitchers don't even bat. A pitching dual can yeild a 0-0 score. What does a slugging dual yeild? runs!

Matsui=MVP
Howard=MIA

Hello?

Mariano is GOD? You need to re-think your standards.

And that was my point about the payroll. I wasn't talking free agency, although the yanks pick up the players with the higher salaries. I was talking base salary.

Yankees $201,449,189
Pirates $48,693,000
The highest-paid player is still the Yankees' Alex Rodriguez, making $33 million, a $5 million raise from 2008.

And you can't tell me that this only started "the last few years". They have been spending the most for a long while.

No, you can't buy a championship, but how many years have the yanks missed the playoffs with NO chance to compete for it. That is my point.

No. There's no talk of steroids. See, if you just deny it, and then admit it, then all is forgivin and becomes a non issue.

Barry Bonds single handedly ruined baseball. Didn't you know that.

If you don't think pitching is what ultimately wins championships then you don't really know what you're talking about. Fact.. And yeah, that was a retarded thing to say. This is what you said in a nutshell: well, if the Red Sox put together a better team they would've won more championships

You know, if the Saints added better players to their roster during Archie Manning's tenure they would've won more games. That doesn't sound retarded to you?

The Red Sox had 86 years to do just that but didn't. Overall they're an organization that deserved to be made fun of.

Matsui=MVP

Hello?

Yanks don't win the series or even get there without Rivera. Fact.. You can say the same about Arod but the offense is stacked from top to bottom. And Rivera's presence is that much more paramount considering Hughes & Joba decided to start sucking coming out of the pen in the postseason.

Mariano is GOD? You need to re-think your standards.

Considering I'm an Aethiest he's more god-like than a ghost.
