they didn't purchase the previous 5 or 6 World Series they won?

Not like now. Their farm system contributed greatly to those other teams - Jeter, Pettitte, Posada, Rivera, Williams, ~~Lowell~~ ;-)

I know where you're going with the "best team money can buy" sentiment and I get it, really, I've heard it a million times - usually from fans just after their team fails to make it to the post season.

The Yankees have always been big on purchasing players - as have many teams that had the money. However, they seemed to take it to an obscene level the past few years and I can't get behind that. I don't feel a connection to the team the way I used to.

See you on Saturday, Warbler
