fiero600: who is that?

Wow, turned on sportscenter to find out who won the home run derby last night then see that...holy sheeit. He was a god to baseball, imo. Think yesterday they lost their announcer and today the owner; who will be next for the yanks. BTW some1 tell me who won that home run derby last night.

insult to injury: ortiz won the derby.

Get me a calzone George

Fuck the Yankees...

Steinbrenner turned baseball into a boring heap of high payrolls, ridiculous prices, and little parity.

Here's to hoping his kids drive the empire into the ground.

Good riddance...

As a side note.......can someone arrange for Peter Angelos to have a fatal heart attack too?

k, thx

no parity eh?
since 1980 18 different franchises have won a World Series, and that was with a year missing because of the strike.
since 1980 only 12 different franchises have won a super bowl, and only 13 different franchises have lifted the Stanley Cup in the same time period.

if anything, baseball has the most parity of any sport. im tired of hearing that argument.


point is, RIP steinbrenner

wow thraxle is a dick

Wow thanks for the informative numbers Gary, pretty sure you PWNED Thrax there. He's just being a hater who can blame him? Also, in this case Les is correct.

RIP George

Yeah......I hate the Yankees THAT much.

The Yankees take advantage of fans by charging the same (or higher) ticket prices as that of football franchises, only they get 81+ home games per year whereas football gets a whopping 8+ games.

In the last 10 years a total 40 playoff appearances were made in the American League. 9 were taken by the Yankees, 6 by LA, 6 by Boston, 6 by Oakland, and 5 by Minnesota. That's 32 of 40 playoff appearances from 5 teams. Yeah.......plenty of parity there.
