Yankees fire Joe Girardi

[Pogo]

Anytime the Yankees don't win the WS they should fire the manager and the GM. With the unfair big-market advantage they have, anything less than a WS win is an utter failure.

That makes sense to me but reality shows that the more free market MLB has more diversity of teams winning championships than what we see in the more socialist NFL.

Not really. The Royals and Marlins were flukes. The big market teams have made the playoffs incessantly since the 1994 strike.

"Big markets" like.... Seattle the first year after 1994 to Minneapolis this year.....and in between, Denver..... Tampa..... Milwaukee...... St. Louis...... Cleveland..... oh wait

Teams like Houston can lose 100 games four years in a row and stockpile young talent
Now they are in the series

They're also the 4th largest city in the US. The other three bigger cities represented the other three teams in the playoffs. No surprise.

Football town

True dat.

The Yankees with a trillion dollar budget and can't win a World Series? They could take that money and make Haiti and turn it into an exclusive retirement community for the rich, but they piss it away on losing baseball instead.

Hilarious!

Before the 1994 strike, three playoffs in 27 years; after the strike, seven times in 20 years. No coincidence.
