All Yankees fans born after 99 know is pain
They did win one in 2009. You would have been young, but depending on how much after, you could have watched it. I still can’t believe that 3-man rotation. Pettitte is the best postseason starter ever.
I remember watching the Yankees as a very young kid. They were so bad. No playoffs until I was a little bit older. I saw them pitch a no-hitter and lose though.Andy Hawkins?
That’s who I was referring to, yes. They took the no hitter away from him later.

I was 21 years old in ‘96. I remember the run very well! So well that I’m still sick of the Yankees. One of my favorite moments was watching a very young Josh Beckett walk into Yankee Stadium and completely shut them down!! Still sick of em!
I remember being happy for Yankee fans in '96 after they had endured the 80s and early 90s. They were a team that had some young home grown players, a couple names, and reclaimation projects at that point. Charlie Hayes, Mariano Duncan, Ruben Sierra, Strawberry mixed in with Boggs, O'Neill, Tino, and youngsters like Jeter, Bernie, and Rivera.
What they became was a completely different animal. Clemens, Giambi, Mussina, Sheffield, Matsui, ARod, Contreras, El Duque, etc. If there was a bidding war, they would win it. The winning on the field was one thing, but then their ability to buy whoever they wanted on top of it was what really pushed most fans to the hatred of the franchise.
I agree! I'm not a Yankees fan, so I'm naturally inclined to hate them. One of the main reasons I hate them is that they pay to win, and they don't care if they go over the spending limit. It's just disgusting to me

If I remember right, there were like 9? no hitters that season. I had SI pictures/covers all over my bedroom walls, and I think I had one that showed all the pitchers that had no-no's that year.

I have no sympathy especially what Yankees fans said to Zack Greinke. Will never respect that fan base again.
What about how Yuli made racist actions about Yu Darvish

2009 I was a 6 year old so I didn’t get to stay up and watch the full game. Ironically enough, 2010-2011 was around the years I started watching every Yankee game. I’m now 18 and haven’t gotten to watch my team win a World Series.
Every year it’s the same thing, the same pain and heartbreak. Y’all act like all Yankee fans are spoiled, and it’s just not true. I’m an adult now and haven’t seen my team do anything important in the playoffs live. It’s the same heartbreak every single year.
And you likely miss out on Clemson in playoffs too this year.
As of right now, they are missing out on being in the top 25.
DJ sucks and we have no offensive line due to injuries. And nothing is being done about it. At the very least, Dabo should give another QB a shot, because from what I've seen so far, DJ's performance last year was a fluke.
Are you a student here

I’ll never understand why a fan would want their owner of the team to save his or her money. It’s not like if Steinbrenner saved his money I would have got a cut. I understand being annoyed that your team can’t compete with a bigger market team, but I wouldn’t call it disgusting. And I completely understand why the Yankees are hated. I hate the Patriots. But Spending limits help no one but the wealthy owners. You know the players aren’t fans of caps and spending limits. Pay the man! And I want every dime the Steinbrenner’s have poured right into the team. We’ve certainly been burned by bad lengthy contracts, and I blame management for that, but I never want them to save their money so they can be more fair to other teams in the league.

I think it's refreshing to see other teams then the Yankees or Braves winning the world series. I started watching baseball in 1995 when I was 9 and for the first 6 years it was Braves, Yankees, (Marlins) Yankees, Yankees, Yankees. So you can suffer a bit longer in my opinion.

You can't be a "pay to win" team if you ain't winning. They are just paying.
Wait... Does this make the Rays NMS???

Honestly, I believe in sharing the wealth.
Enough of the Yankees and their arrogant fans.
I follow a few on Twitter and at times wonder how can one root for a team that has won so many, while others haven't had a sniff?
It is joyous to see a starved franchise win.
That said, I hope Milwaukee or Tampa do it, finally.
27 is enough. Relive their WS victories on video, because nowadays you play 3 to 4 rounds before you make WS, to use a Show term. It's not easy.
So, go Rays. Go Brewers. Fear the
I live 10 minutes away from the yankees old aa team. They got rid of them because they needed something to blame. The minor league system. I heard the new aa team charges an arm and a leg for anything. I believe it because tickets went up in price. It's only 3 dollars (which I would pay) but after they did that in the off season I bought a rays hat and never looked back. It bothers me that yankees lose so what do they do? Get more Allstars. And still lose. The more I think about it the more I wonder how anyone has pride knowing that all you did was buy the biggest names. Watching tb is like watching major league and rooting for the Indians.

But if the tiger's owner decided they wanted to go all and spent 500 million+ in total money and it led to them winning a world series would you not be super excited?
Let's be honest here every team wishes they could spend like the dodgers or Yankees.

I mean, the Tigers did spend big when Dombrowski was GM. We got to the WS twice but never won. All the big pieces we got, and we had nothing but "almost theres". Money can be useful for a team yes, but it doesn't always produce success. And can even cause problems down the road... Prince Fielder was a big financial impediment after his tenure with us didn't work out

As an A's fan i don't expect my team to start spending a ton to chase big name free agents, but it would be nice if they would spend like they actually care about fielding a competitive team every year. I'd at least like to see them develop a star player and be reasonably confident that he'll be around for a while. I can't even pick a favorite player to root for anymore because I know they'll be gone the second they show enough talent for other teams to notice.
Since I moved away from California a few years back anyway, I honestly hope they relocate to somewhere that will support them so they can stop using the bull [censored] small market excuse to justify running their organization like they're an official AAA team for the yankees or the red sox.

Try being a Montréal Expos fan growing up. Solid teams for years and nothing and then when they get really good, strike. Soon after they moved to Washington. At least your team has a chance to be a world series winner.

Watch your team lose 3 World Series and then change their name and come back to me

I get that, but you have to admit it's a good feeling when your team is all in. The problem with the Yankees now is Hal isn't George, so when they make big mistakes it hurts more.
Ellsbury being the most obvious bad signing ever. DJ was a bad resign because Torres doesn't belong at SS and his price per year wasn't worth it. Now they can't make more moves because tax penalties. Anyways, I agree that mistakes with that money happen but it's always more enjoyable when your team spend vs be frugal. There needs to be a way higher salary floor in baseball.

MN has the longest championship drought out of all states that have all big four pro teams. The Yankees own the Twins in the postseason.

I really don’t understand your first statement: “I’m not a Yankees fan, so I’m naturally inclined to hate them.” The Dodgers have spent more money, I am not a fan, but I don’t hate them. I understand that The Yankees have made a lot of bad moves signing players that are way past their prime. How many times have they won since the main player’s in their organization were not home grown talent. I’m a baseball fan, so I don’t hate any teams. Cheating gets me a little down on a team. I cannot take Houston seriously for a bit, but don’t hate them either.
Life’s too short for hate. Enjoy what you have, and let’s be glad we have baseball.
