New York defeated the Los Angeles Angels last night taking the best of 7 series in 6 games. The 5-2 defeat knocked the angels out of the running for the world series while the Yankees make an astonishing 40th franchise world series visit. Their next game will be against the Phillies on wednesday night in the Bronx. There was a record breaking 50,173 fans at the new yankee stadium that cost 1.5 billion. The Yankees recorded their first AL pennet since 2003. Rodriguez is looking forward to his first world series appearance and he did all he could to make that happen with a .586 on-base percentage. Including the division series win against the Twins, Rodriguez has hit five home runs with 12 RBIs. In previous playoffs he lacked the batting touch swinging in at just .148.
I think its a joke that the yankees are even allowed to participate in MLB. With an outragous salary cap of around 160 million it unevens the playing field dramatically. Just look at their roster, every single name is well known or atleast heard of by even the smallest fan. With players like Rodriguez, Jeter, Sabathia, and the list goes on and on it's no wonder why they make the playoffs every year. They should be ashamed when they dont make the world series because of that roster. Being a Twins fan i feel people just may feel im jealous my team lost, however a proper baseball fan would agree with me. A team thats allowed so much leway when it comes to salary cap should not be allowed to participate. Something needs to be done immediately to even this team out and make it fair for every other team in Major leage baseball.
