AND win 95-100 games and make the playoffs...

…never underestimate the “Evil Empire”. They’ll figure out their rotation…like always.

15 playoff appearances...

outta the last 16 years and 5 WS rings. I think we’d be pretty content with that, don’t you?

and I bet they spent more money

in those 5 WS years as all of the rest of the WS winners in the other 11 combined

Whatever it takes, hansman...

do you think they’re worried about selling out Yankee Stadium this year? I think not. Keep the fans happy and “they will most definitely come”.

They now have insurance

for when Rivera finally stops being effective. Every year I think he’s going to slip though, he has another good if not great year. I agree with Ed above.

Scott Bora$ is satan.

Soriano has insurance too

From what i read, even though it’s a 3 year deal, it sounds like Soriano can leave after 1st or 2nd year if he wants. I’m sure there’s some fine print involved in terms of window and perhaps leaving some bonus money on the table, but still – it’s a sweet deal from Soriano’s perspective. Who’s his agent again – oh yeah, Boras. It figures – the Dark Lord making a deal with the Evil Empire.
