Also agree the Yankees should have high expections, but like Pianow suggests, I think there's something to be said about the way they play. Torre seems to run a solid ship over there (he always has) and most guys play with an attitude that it means something to be part of the franchise. Love 'em or hate 'em (and there's a case for both), they seem to pull through more than most teams. What I'm saying is, give the Dodgers or Cubs $200 million and I'm very sure they'd find a way to NOT win eight straight division titles. Again, even if you can't stand them, guys like Jeter and Posada and Bernie are underrated in this regard.
