[blazersin2k3]

damn the yankees are going to be loaded

 

[prurientsole]

Spend spend spend.

But, if it buys 'em a championship, I doubt that a single Yankees fan will care.

[jordanxi2001]

the whole time, the yankees were lingering waiting to pounce. pathetic.

i can't wait to watch all of that RIDICULOUS money they've invested turn into an EPIC FAIL when they don't make the playoffs.

oh well, for my Nationals this means one thing:

HELLO ADAM DUNN.

 

[lakersmets49ers]

its gonna be funny if the yankees win about 105 games and the angels knock them out in the alds again

 

[dr 715]

But.....but.....but.....I was told the Red Sox and Nationals were the ones that were going to sign him.

Out of no where!

I just woke up from a nap to find this out.

He is getting so much money, so he better be 'worth it' and produce.

Welcome to the Yankees though, Mark Teixeira.

I asked this in another thread, but do the Yankees stop pursuing Manny after this signing?

I would assume so?

If they aren't, and we get him, I wouldn't know what to say

 

[jordanxi2001]

nearly half a BILLION dollars on 3 players. disgusting.

just when i was getting giddy that the Nationals might actually land Tex upon the news it was between the Red Sox and Nats...

 

[enlightened thought]

geez...they can't have that much money can they?

You'd have to think so... Especially if they want another starting pitcher...

Damon, Jeter, Teixeira, Rodriguez, Nady, Matsui, Swisher, Posada, Cano ... That's more than enough offensive production, I'd think...

You've been kidding yourself for weeks now... He was never going to sign with a crappy organization that had no chance of being competitivefor several years...
