Just when you thought it couldn’t get any crazier, it does as the Yankee$ sneak in and scoop up first base slugger Mark Teixeira inking him for eight years, $180 million.

I don’t know if this even surprising anymore. Especially with both the Red Sox and Angels bowing out withdrawing offers while the dreadful Nationals were still in hoping to get him. Would you sign with a last place team or with one who spends like no tomorrow in order to win? Seems like a no-brainer.

I just don’t get how the Yanks can spend all this money. Oh wait. That’s right. They’re THE YANKEES!!!!! What bad economy?

The same franchise which gets more and more help from Mayor Bloomberg and New York City with their new precious stadium and can’t afford an extra seven million for Andy Pettite proves it can still overpay for top tier talent.

I’m done with this team. I can’t root for them anymore. It’s no longer fun. If they go and win a World Series, I’ll be happy for the Mariano Riveras, Derek Jeters, Jorge Posadas, Chien-Ming Wangs and Jobas.

Those to me are the only real Yankees left. Not the mercenaries who come here to make every last dollar. But as someone might say, what is a real Yankee these days anyway?

It’s all about greed.


There once was a team who won and did things right

Now all they do is buy everyone in sight

I’ll let ya know when I finish. Gotta go.
