I love it! Steinbrenner has been showed up again, and while the players are great, the Yankees have shown they can not keep it together when it counts.... an average of 6 runs per game in regular season play, and swept out of the playoffs in the first round. Goes to show, money can't always buy championships, and salary caps can work.
