I know you weren\'t.  Brought back good memories though.

Why should the fans have to address the cheating. That\'s up to the baseball company who\'s putting on the show. IF you bet on a horse and cash a bet and that horse comes up positive and gets DQd from purse money, do YOU the bettor/fan have to address the connections cheating?  No, you cash your ticket and you\'re happy you won....you can even gloat if you want!

As far as the Yanks cheating, what HAS already been addressed was that the person who made the \'report\' that outed the cheaters was an employee of the Boston Red Sox. (which is why certain players were probably not on the list,  but, after they left the Red Sox they got \'caught\' cheating.)

Plenty of teams who\'ve won World Serieses in the steroid era had a ton of guys on their team who were gaining an edge....im not sure what that has to specifically do with Yankees fans not being able to enjoy THEIR titles. Should Yankee fans hide their heads in the sand and feel remorseful at winning?

Listen, it was the steroid ERA, that means lots of people did something to get an edge. At least every team had a player who was using some type of performance enhancer....the league turned the other cheek, remember the Sosa-McGuire HR \'chase\' that \'saved\'  baseball? Yep, those guys were doing steroids. And the league looked the other way. So, in other words, the league said \"its ok, do what you need to do\".

Given the aging, overpaid current collection, no MR, and the younger Steingrubbers actually not buying every available star in sight . . . don\'t hold your breath waiting for the next one.

Plasticman - If you can\'t name even one team yes, start hiding your head in the sand.  For shame.  I\'ll look for you at the beach!  

Best,

I hear you, this current Yankee team is pretty average. They\'ll win more games than they lose just on \'backclass\' but they\'re not in the same stratosphere as the Texas Rangers.
