The Richest Get Richer

Kill me now. Seriously.

The Devil (you may call him George) and his minions (also known as the Yankees) have acquired Bobby Abreu from the Phillies for four minor leagues, of which only one is very highly rated.

The rich get richer.

Why do teams always have to trade their stars to the Yankees? Why can’t they find any other suitors?
These trades that the Yankees always pull off – the ones that they give up fringe minor league talent for a proven star – used to make me hate New York even more, but this has gotten too out of hand. I, officially, hate any team that "dumps" their star players onto the Yankees. Seriously, these people (Phillies, Diamondbacks, Rangers, etc.) are like dealers playing a crack addicts weakness. They know that Ol’ Georgie can’t turn down a hit.

I find it hard to believe that another team, maybe the Mets for example, couldn’t have offered a little more talent than a former first rounder and three players that will never make the big leagues. How can’t they beat the Yankees offer?

I ask the "experts," what happened to the Yankees "building their farm system" instead of "trading it away for older players?" They sure had you guys drinking that Cool-Aid. The experts were like pimps trying to sell women with herpes; no matter how hard they try selling us on the fact that they were clean, we know they aren’t.

(The Yankees building their farm system is like a prostitute with herpes.)

Those experts sure got burned.

Didn’t they know Georgie is the biggest pimp of all? The Devil owns the pinstripes.
