Sorry, but the "need to teach the greatest team in baseball a lesson" is an old story that people are sick and tired of hearing, but I can see that winning 26 World Series could get sick and tiring also.
The Yankees players/management isn't arrogant...they are just that good. My only problem with the Yankees is their pompous, arrogant owner, George Steinbrenner. The Yanks shouldn't be criticized over one person that doesn't play ball. The real game is on the field and thats what should be focused on. If a team has enough money to go out and buy whatever player they want...more power to them. BTW, the Marlins lost all of their games in this series at Yankee Stadium and Josh Beckett has pitched way too much. His fastball is going to be a floater by the 3rd inning...if he lasts this long.
Yankees in 7
