The Yankee year foretold

Last year when Pitchers and Catchers reported, I nailed my prediction that the Yankees would win the world series. This year, I'll do it again.

I mean, they are unstoppable. Incredible pitching, wonderful hitting and defense like a brick wall. Here's the people we added to our roster

  • Traded for Curtis Granderson
  • Signed Nick Johnson
  • Singing Randy Winn (an Omen)
  • Resigned Andy Pettite
  • Traded for Javier Vazquez

With the additions of Johnson and Vazquez, it's back to the 2004 team almost!

But we also lost some people over the offseason.

  • Traded Austin "The Man" Jackson and Phil Coke to Detroit
  • Traded Melky Cabrera to Atlanta (You can have him!)
  • Did not sign Johnny Damon- signed with Detroit
  • Did not sign Hideki Matsui- signed with California, or Anaheim, or whatever
  • Did not sign Chien Ming Wang (a bad sign for my dentist and the country of Taiwan)- signed with Washington (I'm so sorry)
  • Did not sign Matt Holliday even though the were GOING to- he signed with St. Louis.

But you know who we still have?

  • Derek Jeter
  • Alex Rodriguez
  • CC Sabathia
  • The Sandman, Mariano Rivera
  • Mark Teixiera
  • Jorge Posada
  • Robinson Cano
  • Andy Pettite
  • AJ Burnett
  • Joba "The Hutt" Chamberlain
  • Nick Swisher
  • Phil Hughes
  • and 27 World Championship trophies

TRY AND BEAT THAT BOSTON!

  1. No way. The Pirates are taking it this year. The 17 year losing season streak is coming to an end.
