They have, in no particular order,

1) The most championships (26)
2) The highest number of recognizable players (starting with the Babe all the way to Mr. Jeter)
3) The highest net worth (built out of nothing after CBS all but drove them into the ground in the 70s)
4) The team more people love to hate (why don't they hate the Rays ... I think even MoFo can figure that one out)
5) The greatest fans in the world (just check out the attendance even when, as so many scholars point out, they haven't won anything in the past 8 years)

Marvel at them. Grudgingly respect them. Whatever gets you through the day, children ...

Excellent post.

[mofome]

I do agree. go yankees. i hope today is wonderful for everyone.

Cubs
Bears
Bulls

[moneyline]

Do the Cubs, Bears and Bulls have 26 championships combined? One NY team has more than the combined city of Chicago. Damn, that is sad.

They were originally the Orioles, so the Os get half of those championships.

[moneyline]

Orioles until 1903, Highlanders until 1913 -- won 0 Championships as either ... then they became the Yankees ... and won 26!!

Damn, making you look stupid is well too easy. But I'll do it anyway.

They do it to themselves, 5 Star ... from Grossman to, well, whoever the Cubs have had play for them the past 99 years or so ...

i think you've actually gone and done the opposite. analyzing and absurdly obvious post doesn't reflect well on you, ma'am.

[moneyline]

Didn't take much analysis. But I understand anything over 10 seconds is an eternity to you, Fo.

actually i should say.

yes. i agree. you are right im dumb.

Assume -- what a fitting word for you to use.

you are smart. i am not sure who i thought i was to challenge such a wonderful poster in a sports debate.

If you are a HOF'er, I've got to question the requirements for gaining admission. Oh, that's right. Typing skills.

that is funny and witty. you are a good poster.

Would give them props if they did this with a salary cap. Basketball has one, football has one, hockey has one....baseball?.....ummmm, no. Thats because George(when he ran the Yankees) said if the League tried to put a cap on baseball, he would shut down the Yankees. What a pussy. He cant compete on a level playing field.

[moneyline]

Other sports have salary caps? Really? The Knicks seem to be, oh, I don't know 40-50 million over ... how does that happen? Strange!

And just for the record, the lion's share of the Yankees championships occurred well before the Yankees outspent the rest of the league by leaps and bounds. Check your history books.

Name me one team in all the other sports that have 8 All-Stars on their roster. And I'll be waiting for this, slick.

[moneyline]

8 current all-stars? Not the Yankees.

By your logic, if the Yankees signed Mattingly tomorrow, that would add to their list of "all-stars".

[Panic]

8 current all-stars? Not the Yankees.

Not talking about 8 All Stars in one season,...I'm talking about players who have been All-Stars in their careers and demand sick money, and the Yankees have had them on their roster at the same time.

[mofome]

Panic, you are talking to a sports genius who knows that the sun does not shine in the winter. please step down.

[moneyline]

What is sick money in today's environment? Enlighten me ...

And MoFo, please explain there is more to baseball than SB. Where did you learn such things?

The Dallas Cowboys had 13 Pro Bowlers in the 2008 game.

[moneyline]

Stop confusing Panic and Fo with logic. It's not nice.

[Panic]

What is sick money in today's environment? Enlighten me ...

Well, basketball's highest payroll is 105 mil. NFL highest payroll is 117 mil. What is the Yankee's again? A quarter of a billion.

[mofome]

if moneyline doesn't say it, im not buying it.

[moneyline]

Red Sox are higher than basketball's and football's highest. So are the Mets. And your point again is?

correct. you are a very good poster.

[moneyline]

And the Mariners ... and the Tigers ... and the White Sox ... and the Angels ... and the Cubs ... and the Dodgers ...

Wow. Lot of teams.

[Panic]

I stand corrected.

[Panic]

So, pro baseball can start knocking teams out of the league because they cant carry their weight....but yet, its fair to have no salary cap?

[moneyline]

More than once. 8 MLB teams make more than the highest basketball or football franchises ... are you sure you are not related to MoFo>?
