You can't have it both ways

Whether you agree with the offseason moves the Yankees have made thus far or not, I find it funny to see many Yankee bashers complain.

Look, you can certainly criticize the Bombers for spending nearly a half a billion dollars on three players, but please stop talking from both sides of your mouth.

Since the Yanks last won the World Series in 2000, they have acquired several big-name stars (via trade or free agency): from Alex Rodriguez to Jason Giambi to Mike Mussina to Hideki Matsui to Randy Johnson to Gary Sheffield to Johnny Damon -- the list goes on.

And in that time, the Bombers have 0 titles to show for it. In that span, the Yankee haters have gleefully proclaimed: "See Yankees, you can't buy a championship." A very fair point. But after signing CC Sabathia, A.J. Burnett and Mark Teixeira (pending a physical) for $423 million, all I've been hearing is how it's unfair the Yankees are buying a championship.

But I thought the argument was the Yankees couldn't buy a championship.

Hey guys, pick a side and stick with it.
