Bah humbug...

Just because they have revenues the size of a small European country... say Andorra... doesn't make the Yankees a generous bunch.

Steinbrenner has made his feelings on the WBC very clear, and now the club as a whole made this announcement to fans appearing at Legend's Field in Tampa. You do have to wonder how Jeter, A-Rod and Damon feel about such a positive announcement concerning "certain players" - you have to think that Steinbrenner is currently mulling stripping Jeter of the captaicy for such a clear betrayal.

Given the Grinch type support the Yankees have shown for the WBC, expect more announcements in the weeks ahead providing evidence that Santa Claus isn't real, that tooth fairies don't exist and that the Harry Potter novels are fiction.
