mistook.  

That is not a full sentence, nor does it contain any capital letters. You were probably trying to say: The past tense of mistaken is mistook, not mistaked.

You are correct, I was in the wrong. Please forgive me, oh white sleeve user.

But the New York Yankees don't have the Ray's amazing record, but they have a great team,and will be a tough opponent.

...The New York Yankees set the record for wins vs losses. The rays are hot right now, that's about it. I'll be surprised if they make a playoff appearance.

 

  So they have,The NYY are the known as the team with the most steroid use in MLB history.The Rays might not make the play-offs,but they sure will be a tough team at the end of the season.

 Yes,I still don't like players who are cheating,hit 50 somthin home runs in a season,and basically get away with it.

You forgot Denny Neagle, Jason Grimsley, Andy Pettitte, Chuck Knoblauch, Mike Stanton, David Justice, and more.
(I'm not sure if everyone on that list took steroids. Those are the Yankees that I know were suspected of taking steroids, one or two might be clean....)

Oh, and every other Yankee except Derek Jeter and Robinson Cano.


To be honest, I expect the Yankees to be the best team every year. They only had $90M more than the phillies last year.....

 Thank,forgot about them

Taking steroids in high school is cheating in the MLB?

A-Rod is the one Yankee who I think should be banned from the MLB,but the Yankees don't care what he does,as long as he hits his 500. batting average and is not caught doing steroids.

Yankees don't care...? They have some of the most respectable players in baseball. They have never had any drama, bad publicity, or negativity outside of the ball club, or in public eye. The Yankees drop players, or when they get players they make sure they are well behaved, and well groomed.

Oh, and every other Yankee except Derek Jeter and Robinson Cano.

Why do you hate on the most historical, best team, not in baseball, in sports period?

The Yankees actually went down the past years in their team salary, the Phillies, Red Sox, actually most teams in general went up a good percentage, Yankees were in the minority for going down. The main reason they are so high is because of the few high contracts, and Roger Clemens and Jason Giambi's old contracts. Their payroll will start going down every year with their younger players and less need to trade.

on a side note, the Packers could be considered the best team in sports period, but I hate them too. pretty sure both Green Bay Packers and New York Yankees are so evil, they have CATS for mascots.

Everyone besides Cano,and Jeter have taken steroids,

I posted that jokingly. Yes, an insane amount of Yankees were roiding: Roger Clemens, Gary Sheffield, Jason Giambi, Alex Rodriguez, Andy Pettite, Ivan Rodriguez, Matt Lawton, Kevin Brown, Denny Neagle, Mike Stanton, David Justice, Randy Velarde, Rondell White, Chuck Knoblauch, Jason Grimsley, Glenallen Hill, Ron Villone, Kyle Farnsworth, Jose Canseco, etc, but you have to remember many were clean (hopefully): Jeter, Williams, Rivera, and Posada.

their pitching staff is the only thing that is mostly clean,they may have cleaned themselves up,but THEY ARE CHEATERS!

I disagree. Pitchers roid up a lot more than hitters.

1.good pitching staff
2.all the drugged players.
   I'm sure if the Phillies,or the orioles could do a 100-62 season if all their players were on steroids,easily,home run,here home run there.

You don't need roids to hit a home run in Yankee Stadium. That place is a wind tunnel, my great great great great great grandma could hit a homerun there. And shes dead.

The Yankees for the most part like the Red Sox earn their money fairly,mostly because they always have sell outs,same with the Red Sox,the only reason I dont like the Yankees is because of all the steroid use,yes ALL OF THE STEROID USE,but fans will usally stick with their home team through thick or thin.

Almost every team has roiders. The last clean WS might be waay back in the 80s (maybe 1991? I'm not sure if Romero was roiding by then). I just don't like the Yankees for the reasons I listed above. Many Yankees fans just hop on board because they're winning. They're always winning, which help leads to their financial success, which they in turn spend so they're always winning.

The Evil Empire tends to promote a fair-weather and arrogant fan

Personally, I find Red Sox fans much more obnoxious, and when they won, they were much more arrogant.

-They attempt to win by simply outspending everyone else

Not true at all. They buy/trade for players they need. They do big trades also. Then again it is the New York Yankees, look at the crowds the games bring in, the fan base, all the apparel, so many fans makes it to where the club can spend money. But seriously, all anyone every does is say the Yankees only buys championships and players. Once the Red Sox started spending more money they won the World Series, no one hated on them, when the Cardinals paid for Pujols, Twins and Mauer... The Yankees do have a few big contracts but the games still need to be played, and no one really said anything about the Yankees until they won last year. You team can easily go out and spend money, but the owner won't. George is from a very wealthy family and goes out and gets what his team needs. When Giambi left they needed a good hitting, gold glove first baseman, the pitching staff fell apart a few years ago, and that has been a work in progress. They have not just spent all this money in one year, they progressively get what they need.

-(Many of) their coaches give steroids to player at an alarmingly shocking rate (much higher than anyone else)

Can you prove this, or show me something to look at where the coaches where actually giving HARMFUL or steroids that would be considered cheating, and not just minor ones.

-They steal talent and "home favorites" of any small market team, using said money tactic.
Need I go on?

Not true at all. Contracts go up and Yankees offer them a deal, yes it might be more but also players want to go to the NYY and play for the pinstripes, it is a great organization and players know they can do great there.

Roger Clemens, Gary Sheffield, Jason Giambi, Alex Rodriguez, Andy Pettite, Ivan Rodriguez, Matt Lawton, Kevin Brown, Denny Neagle, Mike Stanton, David Justice, Randy Velarde, Rondell White, Chuck Knoblauch, Jason Grimsley, Glenallen Hill, Ron Villone, Kyle Farnsworth, Jose Canseco

Majority of those guys came from the Mitchell report and were never actually found guilty, and what type of steroid they used. Also not all those players were taking steroids while on the Yankees. A-Rod for example, was with Rangers in 03 when he tested positive. Also this is over a stretch of how many years? Some of these guys didn't play for the Yankees since back in the early 90's when steroid rules were a little different.
Just for clarification, both of my parents are from NY so I am a real NY fan, not a band wagon.

Possibly,still

Yankees= Steroid,overpaid cheating players.

                     

    Nicely said.
