MikeO said:NO, we are expected to "compete" every year. The ultimate goal is to win the world series yes, of course. But if they lose in the ALCS or lose in the ALDS, it's hardly "STRUGGLING" as you say.
And if we go 5 or 6 years without a world series, yet still make the playoffs.......it isn't a "sky is falling' situation.
This wins the award for the biggest pile of bull dung on the boards today... Please don't insinuate that winning a championship isn't the only acceptable goal as a Yankee fan... That is why they buy every mercenary they can, that is why they outbid all rivals... Not to have a "good season", but to win it all... To sit here and minimize the great baseball corporation's failings the past 5 (6) years is laughable...
That's why it's ultimately so joyless being a Yankee fan, because deep down inside, second place is the same as last place to them, and first place is only placated justification... Injuries have FINALLY caught up and this team is treading water... One might say, "struggling" to stay afloat... And a long drought looms on the horizon.... Baseball's grim reaper is soon knocking...
For the money spent, they're struggling, alright... And there'll be no title this year either
