Really how will we be floping when you guys don't even have a closer?

The same way you flopped last year against the Tigers after being touted "The greatest line up of all time".
or the year before against the Angels after being considered favorites to win it all.
thenin 04 when you were up 3-0 against us and there was "no possible chance" we could comeback. Refresh my memory by the way, what was the outcome of that series?
03...you beat us because your juiced up 1st baseman hit a couple home runs to get you guys back in it...then everyone knew the yankees basically had the world series won. Did they?
And in 2002...oh those little bugger angels...that was your year again.
2001. rivera fucked up...haha
The yanks do it well lately...should be interesting to see how they choose to do it this year.

As for no closer...who cares? We just threw in papelbon last year and he spun up 35 saves. im sure someone can fill the role and if not...put papelbon back in and give someone else the starting job.

Ok correct me if i'm wrong, but what the hell does 2001, 2002, 2003, 2004, 2005, 2006 have to do with right now? I don't care about you guys winning in 2004, I don't care about our 26 championships, all I care about is winning #27. You can continue all you want, but if you think about we were the better team than you guys in every year except 2004. So I say enjoy living the past, because thats the only thing you will be thinking about all the time.
The difference is, you guys re-grouped by signing one huge pitcher, in D-Mat. You picked up a couple hitters, such as Lugo. Threatened to trade Manny yet another offseason. Almost got Helton. Looked around for all these closers to get, but failed to get even one. Instead you picked up a couple bums like Romero, Piniero. Pretty solid guy in Donnelly. Your team is moving Papelbon (AKA: THE STOPER) to the Rotation. So what the hell does that leave for your bullpen?
Lets really compare our teams then:
1B Mientkiewicz vs. Youkilis
Hitting: Youkilis
Fielding: Mientkiewicz
2B Cano vs. Cora/Pedroia
Hitting: Cano
Fielding: Cano
SS Jeter vs. Lugo
Hitting: Jeter
Fielding: Jeter
3B Rodriguez vs. Lowell
Hitting: Rodriguez
Fielding: Lowell
LF Matsui vs. Ramirez
Hitting: Ramirez
Fielding: Even
CF Damon vs. Crisp
Hitting: Damon
Fielding: Crisp
RF Abreu vs. Drew
Hitting: Abreu
Fielding: Abreu
DH Giambi vs. Ortiz
Hitting: Ortiz
Pitching:
STARTERS
Yankees
STARTERS
Wang
Mussina
Pettitte
Pavano
Igawa/Karstens/Sanchez/Rasner/Hughes
Bullpen
Igawa/Karstens/Sanchez/Rasner
Proctor
Bruney
Britton
Farnsworth
Vizcaino
Rivera
Red Sox
STARTERS
Schilling
Beckett
Matsuzaka
Papelbon
Clement/Lester
Bullpen
Decarmen
Donnelly
Hansen
Piniero
Romero
Tavarez
Timlin
Now in my opinion you can really discuss who has the better starters, but bullpen there is no question that the yankees are better there. We obviously have the better hitting with Abreu, A-Rod, Giambi, Matsui all coming in an order. Even before those 4 we've got Damon, and Jeter. Seriously though, who the hell is your closer out of those 7?

Who the f*** cares who the closer is going to be...we'll plug someone in like last year or just go by comittee. and in reality, our sarting rotation is better...if the starters can give us 7 good innings, the pen wont be needed as much.

Are you blind, or did you just refuse to read anything in my last post? I said in my last post I could care less about the 26 world series. You are the one that has brought up the last 6 years, and of course you had no problem bringing up 2004. Do you see me bringing up 1996, 1998, 1999, or 2000? I could care less what happened then. If anybody brought up the past it was yourself. Why can you bring up 2004? But us Yankees fans can't bring up the world series that we won between 1918, and 2003? Whats the excuse going to be now when we win the division again? Can't really bring up the money issue anymore, now that you guys are overpaying now.
Good luck pluging in someone at the closer spot, while we continue with one of the best closer in baseball today, and maybe one of the best ever. The starters won't give you 7 good innings every single game, especially when you've got Schilling who probably will be throwing 7 innings at best right now, Beckett who can't, and wont last in the American League, Matsuzaka who has never thrown a major league pitch yet.

LMFAO
Every team with a decent rotation has a better team than yours. You guys are the Yankees of about 2 years ago. Great hitting, no pitching. You will never get anywhere without the pitching. You don't have one guy that is known to give you 7 innings every night except Martinez, and he'll be injured for most of the year. Hell, I can say loudly that yes the Boston Red Sox have a better team than you guys. The Florida Marlins, and Philiadelphia Phillies have a better rotation than you guys, and they will most likely give you a run for your money.

HAHAHA not only arent the mets the most talented team in baseball...theyre not even the best in the division (on paper...which i guess this is what were going by). The Phillies are going to take that division and maybe by a bigger margin than you think.
