Why are the Yankees tanking?


I am a rarity in my family and circle of friends. First I am a baseball fan. Second, I am a Yankees fan (something I may never reveal to my Grandmother Salyer). I either know Braves or Reds fans and to some extent I like the Reds. I only have two friends who share my affinity for the Evil Empire.

I am having a pretty disappointing year. Last year I wanted to buy mlb.com coverage of all the Yankees games. They were in a race towards the playoffs, but now I just want next season to come or better yet the hot stove season. The most disappointing thing is that this is the last year for the house that Ruth built. I am glad that I can say that I have been there.

Even though I hate to say it, it may take moving some of the highest paid players in the league to get some hungry young talent to win again - including Alex Rodriguez. As long as Derek Jeter never leaves.

What do I know? I am just a less than enthusiastic fan. Moving on to football...

When I saw this, I was just going to say to you that football time is starting. Maybe the Vols will start this season off better than last and will take your mind off of the Yankees. GO BIG ORANGE!!!!!!
