I hate the way they're throwing $ around, but in no way does this insure a kick-ass team. I fact, the year in which they did win 114 games, they were made up of a lot of middle-of-the-road/grinder guys (with high OBP's), and lots of home-grown young guys (Jeter, Mo Rivera, Bernie Williams).

This reminds me of the 80's, when Steinbrenner the Elder was at his peak. Over the course of the decade, they won more games than any other team, but except for the 1981 strike year, they never even won their <i>division</i> that decade.
There's nothing better than to realize that the good things about youth don't end with youth itself. It's a matter of realizing that life can be renewed every day you get out of bed without baggage. It's tough to get there, but it's better than the dark thoughts. -Lance
