How depressing is the thought of a fifth straight season without a Yankee world series.
Sure, the Angels are a hot team with younger, more eager talent, but I can't help but wonder if the Yankees' overinflated payroll is having the opposite of its intended effect. When you're getting paid millions of dollars, win or lose, you still want that World Series ring, but I have to believe you aren't as hungry for it as the younger, lesser paid up-and-comers. When you have the means to buy anything you possibly can want in life and have change left over to leave your great-grandkids, I just don't think there's a fire in the belly. The same reason stand-up comics like Steve Martin and Eddie Murphy haven't made a funny movie in the past 20 years.
Wait till next year? Only if you drop the spoiled fatcats and hire some hungry talent whose battig average is higher than the first three numbers on their paycheck.
