Wow, it's been five years (six if they don't win this year) and Yanks fans are already whining like Sox fans.  What a joke.

The Yankees obviously have the best players, but if they are the best team still depends on if they can mesh.  I'd say them right now though, you can't go wrong saying so.

Maybe in 20-50 years. I think they are like the Saints, they are just doomed. How can you win 116 games in a season and not go to the "World" Series? I think they don't deserve to go for at least another 10-15 years just for that. That's just plain bad.

They're in a very tough division with the Braves, Mets and Nationals.\n\nTake it from a Yankee fan, losing Billy Wagner and gaining Tom Gordon isnt going to help.  He chokes under pressure like nobody's business.\n\nRyan Howard, Chase Utley, Bobby Abreu and Pat Burrell will have to step up and carry the offense, and Jimmy Rollins needs to become a force at the top of the order for the Phils to go anywhere this year.

Almost every year they get off to a slow start. Once the playoff comes around, their pitching rotation is set, and the millionaries are ready to get down to biz and play some hard ball. They'll be in the hunt this year for the World Series as well as the New York Mets. Now the Yankees have some serious competition this year from their crosstown rival. It should wind down to be an interesting season of New York baseball.

Several factors.  Money was an issue.  They really don't need his bat in the lineup.  He is hurt more and more each season.  He is on the down side of what I would call a HOF career.  Certainly if he reaches 500 home runs he will be elected into the HOF.  But maybe the one factor that shadows everything else, he carries a lot of baggage with him.  He's not the most pleasant guy to deal with plus when he doesn't get his way he can be poison in the locker room.  The Yankees have enough to deal with with A-Rod.  Plus they need pitching.

Yes they can, and I wish they do but I'm not so sure they will... however as they are not my team and I just hate the lakers, I would advise you to keep your faith up untill they are actually out, my best Sports experience was not winning the World Series in 2004 with the Red Sox (It was great!!!!) but was beating the Yanks from being down 3-0, everything is possible in Sports keep up your faith and Good luck.

They've had solid starting pitching for most of the last decade, but that doesn't mean much in the playoffs. They need guys who can put it together for a few games in a row during a short series. You can have the best pitching in the world during the regular season, and that by itself doesn't guarantee a championship. I think they can win their division again, but the playoffs are a total crapshoot.

I wish they would. It would be good for baseball. However, they need to win their division or be the wild card before they can compete for the right to play in the World Series. Both are highly unlikely in the next three years. They just do not have the talent/

Buy it form Kenny Williams (White SOX GM)\n\nBut seriously, the Chi-Trib (owners of the cubs) only care about the money.  So as long as those cheap polish pricks own the cubs, they will never win the world series.\n\nBut a good start would be to get rid of Dusty Baker, and let the billy goat into a game.

YANKEES!!? HA! you'r kidding me guys... the Mets are doing a hell of a job and I think they can pose as a serious threat.. Hopefully it doesn't mean that they'll end up in a race spending as much money as the team from the Bronx does.

I think they can win the world series But with Jeff Bagwell out they dont seem to have the continuity to hold it together long term and any starting staff minus Roger Clemens definitely has a challenge ahead of it.

Absolutely behind u on that.Some of these smaller cities have but one news paper,so naturally NY would dominate.Besides there is a lot of money behind them and they want to keep their jobs.It has been biased from day one.If these smaller franchise could spend money on players like the Yankees have, they wouldn't have won all those championships.

If the Yankees somehow manage to get to the playoffs, they won't get far. The Sox will beat them.

Yankees are not going to be the best team in baseball for a while.

The Yankees are going to win the division again.\n\nRandy Johnson's game is going to pick up once the weather gets warmer (Its easier to get loose, especially for an old guy, when its in the 90's).\n\nAs it stands now, the Yankees are playing their best baseball of the season right now, depsite injuries to Gary Sheffield, Hideki Matsui, Johnny Damon, Jason Giambi, Derek Jeter, Alex Rodriguez, Carl Pavano, Jorge Posada, Bubba Crosby, etc.\n\nThey're playing lineups laden with rookies and retreads from their farm system... and they're still winning (including 2 straight from boston in this series).\n\nIf they can play this good in spite of their injuries, they should run away with the division when they get a little more healthy.

There is no question it has to be...\nthe New York Yankees.\n\nThink about the numbers. They have won 26 titles since 1900. More than 1 out of every 4 years they win. 25% of the time. Try to name a more dominant team than that.\n\nYankee critics say they just buy championships. I say bull. Other teams try to do the smae thing and fail.\n\nPeople just hate the Yankees because they can't beat them.
