Despite a lack of big name talent, and a paltry $200 million payroll, the New York Yankees are back in the playoffs. By virture of their 6-5 victory last night over the Angels, the Yankees have clinched a wild card birth, and will most likely win the AL East.
"This just shows you what a hard working organization can do," said manager Joe Girardi. "My hat goes off to guys like Alex Rodriguez, Johnny Damon, C.C. Sabathia, A.J. Burnett and Mark Teixeira who have payed their dues in our minor league system and are now getting their chance in the big leagues. It's really amazing, with the roster we have, and the low salaries give out, that we can win a baseball game 63% of the time. Remarkable."
In addition to clinching a playoff berth, the Yankees have given American baseball fans further opportunity to hate the Yankees.

C.C. Sabathia Tests Positive for Cheesecake
Sunday, August 9, 2009
More shocking baseball news from the Yankees. It was revealed today by an anonymous source from the New York Post that New York Yankees pitcher C.C. Sabathia has tested positive for cheesecake.
"Technically, it's not banned by Major League Baseball, and I guess it's just a dessert and not drugs," says the source. "But we like to create juicy news from literally nothing. C.C.'s a big dude, and he didn't get that way by eating carrot sticks or leafy green vegetables."
The same source also confirmed that other pitchers including David Wells, Bartolo Colon, and Bobby Jenks have tested positive for performance enhancing desserts.

Cleveland Indians Front Office to Fans: "We Stopped Caring After We Traded Sabathia"
Thursday, July 30, 2009
Following their trade of Cliff Lee, one of the games best pitchers, the Cleveland Indians front office has admitted to fans that they stopped caring after the trade of C.C. Sabathia last year.
"Anyone can see that we aren't very good," said GM Mark Shapiro. "So we took the Pittsburgh Pirates approach and traded one of our best players. Again. We'll probably trade Victor Martinez too. We are looking to the future. WAY into the future. I just hope that we have some fans left in 2012 when we are competitive again."
