Reply #2: I'm surprised they're not trying to get Lee AND Ichiro

[jmowreader]

I am really, really dreading my freeper brother's next home time...he is under the impression that the only reason there are other teams in the American League is so the Yankees will have someone to beat.

You absolutely do NOT want to watch baseball with this guy. I was sitting there one fine day with him during a Yankees-Mariners game. Any time the Mariners did anything against the Yankees I heard a huge scream of "He Cheated!" Someone manages to catch the ball? He cheated: he should have dropped it. Seriously. And he's got HUGE anger management issues, so you don't want to argue with him. I have no idea how the game came out because I left in the sixth inning. (He despises Ichiro because Ichiro has the utter gall to hit baseballs in games the Yankees are in.)

But back to the point: Obviously the Yankees HAVE to buy Cliff Lee, have to buy Ichiro, have to buy anyone who knows how to play baseball because the Yankees, according to Yankees fans, are never allowed to lose.
