The 2008 New York Yankees Obituary
The 2008 New York Yankees Obituary
I will be eulogizing each Yankee that played a significant role in the team's demise. Almost everyone in the organization has left some sort of bad taste in my mouth over the course of this season and today I'm granting myself carte blanche to pin-point my favorite memories of these underachievers.

    That is hard to say Claudio. They have a ton of money. They could win it all next year, and look good doing it.

    They need to pay for better ballplayers and not better names. They need to act like the biggest name in sports. 

    I am not a Yankees fan, but we can not throw them away just yet. :-)
