In My Opinion:
There is no good that can come from the New York Yankees winning the 2009 World Series. A series victory for the Yanks only serves to justify their lavish spending habits in the pursuit of championships. That's news of the doomsday variety for 29 other team.
The Yankees make purchases like a college undergrad receiving a credit card for the first time, burning through plastic with little regard for the future. Frivolity prevails in the form of a Sega Genesis, 1994 EA Sports Hockey*, and a steady diet of pizza, courtesy of Domino's and Visa. I know of what I speak.
The Yankees spend like a U.S. governmental agency pushing to spend its last penny so that the department head can request EVEN MORE money for the following year's budget (that means $50 dollar toilet seats and $15 dollar nuts & bolts for your tax dollars). Both entities are extraordinarily wasteful.......and yes, if you've failed to connect the dots, I am intimating that Jason Giambi and Carl Pavano are $50 dollar toilet seats!
Spending like an A-HOLE is not a sustainable business practice.....yet, the Yankees continue to make one poor personnel decision after another without it damaging the long term future of the franchise. A championship will only embolden the Yankees to continue down a spending path that will assuredly ruin the game of baseball for small market teams, who as of now, only serve as extended farm systems at the disposal of the Bronx Bombers.
Is might right? Me thinks not.
Go Phills!
* Pavel Bure, Alexander Mogilny, Theo Fleury, and Jeremy Roenick were wrecking machines in that game. I'd advise the youth of America not to purchase such a fantastic diversion during finals week.
- Pre-Finals G.P.A=3.0
