This is just as likely to happen as an a$$hole/Yankee (same thing, actually) fan is likely to go one day without saying '26 world titles'. We get it. Your team is a failure now, but they weren't failures before.

The Yankees have played in 13 of the last 14 post-seasons. That's not a failure.

A failure is a team like the Nationals.

My point is whether the Sox will go 100 years without winning a clean WS title. Did you vote?

Who have won a title more recently than the Yankees, while spending about a billion less

2nd: 2
3rd: 2

Average finish: 2.36

New York (0 World Series titles)

1st: 0
2nd: 3
3rd: 0

If Luis Gonzalez had not been a dirty 'roid cheater, the little excuse-me-limp-of-a-girlie bloop would never had made the outfield grass. Instead, it would have landed where God intended -- in Derek Jeter's glove -- and there would have been much joy and rejoicing.

But it was not.

And so it was written that an angry God would rise up against baseball, and decree that the Diamondbacks would be the first of the shameful champions of the "Cheater Champion Era." This was all predicted by Nostradamus.

In the first year of the reign of the Chimp;
After the great millenium;
A little girlie man, in the form of a Serpent,
Shall ingest the forbidden fruit.

The Serpent shall gain the strength of the earth's Mantle;
And in the great game, due to his false brawn;
The Serpent shall loft the sphere like a little girl
Just barely past the Divine One.

Once you see this, you shall know
That the Era of Evil has dawned.

Wow - Bitter!!

If Riveria hadn't choked...if Torre hadn't brought the infield in...

And no one had any shred of evidence on Gonzo.

Most likely, the Yankee titles of the 90's are built on Roids.

How do you know that the title they won 91 years ago was clean?

Me and a few other guys share a season ticket package and have done it for years.

I actually went to Citi Field last night to see how the other half lives. That stadium is really nice.

I've been hearing the same thing.

If you guys ever need to get rid of tickets, please let me know.
