Biggest choke in sports history .... Some folks may agree with that statement. I don't. Need I remind people. 26 World Series Championships and 39 AL pennants.

Um, no, you DON'T need to remind anyone. One of the reasons people dislike the Yankees, and even more so, their fans, is because of their tendency to "remind" everyone of their past success.

Besides, if the Yankees had won every World Series since the dawn of time, it wouldn't change the fact that they CHOKED, BIG TIME! Their 26 World Series and 39 pennants don't erase that reality. They blew what up until last night had been an insurmountable lead.

But that's what you get when you spend $190 million on a bunch of all-stars who are far more interested in their own incomes, careers, and images, than they are in being part of a team. Money can buy you talent (and lots of drooling, fist-pumping morons in the stands), but it can't buy you heart.

Well, yes that and having the riot police go onto the field because they cannot act civilized. Sheesh, after that display I'm not surprised NY is a democrat stronghold!

Typical rhetoric from another Yankee hater. How can anyone overlook the success of the NY Yankees? Its reality. Just like the Raiders and the Cowboys. Year in and year out, the Yanks have been one of the very best teams in baseball.

That's silly. A-Rod and Sheffield came to the Yanks to win a championship. Both players are known for their unselfish desire to win!
