By that I mean as happy as I can be without the Red Sox in it.

I forgot to bump this thread while I was in SF for the Bridge School Benefit. It was a shitload of fun to watch the Yankees' demise in a bar with a fellow PJ and Sox fan. :thumbsup: I think we got the whole bar chanting the Steam song for one chorus when it was over.

As much as I like your current avatar, I think I'd like that one so much more.

As they say, money can't buy success.

It can, however, help buy 16 playoff appearances in 17 seasons and 5 World Series titles.

I'm a little bummed but I've been spoiled so I don't feel too bad. Kinda happy for a couple guys on that Detroit squad.

Valverde's the only guy I feel I don't like on that team.

At first I didn't either. Don't love him now.. but I think he is just legitimately just a goofy guy.

The Yankees cut the cord yesterday. The team declined a club option that would have paid Brackman $1 million in MLB and $500,000 in the minors next season, Keith Law reported. A clause in the contract stipulated that the team must release him if it declined the option, which is exactly what New York did. According to Pete Caldera, of The Bergen Record, the Yankees paid Brackman nearly $11 million during his four-plus years in the organization, and all what did the team get? Thirteen big-league batters faced and seven outs.

To put Brackman’s contract into perspective: he has made more money than David Price, who went first in the same draft and has pulled in approximately $9 million during his career (while producing 10.4 more WAR).

Of course, money is no object for the Yankees. After all, this is the same team that spent $12 million on three unusable left-handed pitchers in 2011 (Kei Igawa, Damaso Marte and Pedro Feliciano), so $11 million spread over four years for a first-round pick is little more than a rounding error. You’re not going to hit the jackpot without buying a lottery ticket, and Brackman was the Yankees’ lottery ticket four years ago. Someone might still give him a chance, given his relative youth (he’ll be 26 in December), and first round pedigree. But given his career earnings and lack of production, there has been no more expensive draft bust in baseball history.

david price should be pissed off right now.
