NEW YORK — My time in the Big Apple is drawing to a close — there's a plane at LaGuardi to catch — but this whole World Series bender on the East Coast has certainly had its share of moments. Here are a few candid shots I took on my clunky point-and-shoot during Wednesday's celebration at Yankee Stadium. From paparazzo shots of Spike Lee and Jason Sudeikis to pictures of the crowded clubhouse scene, I'm amazed at how they turned out.
We'll have plenty of more World Series goodness once Stew Force One touches back down in the Windy City, but I want to thank everyone for coming along on the ride for both the regular season and all of our postseason coverage. It's always an honor and a pleasure and I already can't wait to do it again next season. Go baseball.

They will lose, because that's what losers do.

Your futile attempts to pass this championship off as cheating or steroid related is childish, idiotic and ill-informed.
Most of the other teams are also owned by billionaires.
They have the money, they choose not to spend it.
The ratings would have been in the toilet if it weren’t for the Yankees.
Sorry, but it’s true. The Yankees = nationwide ratings.
Steroids have absolutely nothing to do with the 2009 Yankees.
Stop living in the past.
Oh yeah......Giambi isn’t even on the team, retard.

You're so ignorant.
Step back into reality with us, just for a moment, please.
Be angry with your teams owner, not ours.

Oh, and eaglesgrl127, The Yankee's won the World Series. So actually, The Phillies are number 2. Because they got their asses kicked in four games against a team that is actually number 1.

Steiner is whiney...BOO HOO DH for everyone! my pitcher hurt himself running...BOO HOO!
Yankees can't develop their own players. No reputable farm system. They must buy their talent. If a salary cap does happen...yankees will drown.
And New Dork..every other team does not have the money to spend...it is not that they choose not to spend. you are the ill-informed. Look up the the earnings historicals as related to salaries paid.

I'm a lifelong baseball guy...played it for quite a while and respect that regardless of what a player is being paid, that is irrelevant when a 90 mph fastball is headed in your direction.
The problem is that the Yankees are Goldman Sachs competeing against the local bank on the corner...really, why does everyone take glee when the Yankees fail??? A real no brainer. The playing field is at least somewhat level in other sports...how DOES Green bay compete with the Cowboys ??
Baseball wil die as we know it if some salary restraints aren't put into play soon. Ignoring the typical goomba mouth breathing Yankee fan, any one with half a brain knows that the Yankees NEED the Royals, Twins, Rays and Mariners to keep a league together....I know that lightning strikes once in a while - I experienced it first hand last year in St Petersburg ( uh, NOT Tampa ) with the Rays, but just watch...will the Yankees replace Petite with Cliff Lee ?? Posada with Joe Mauer ?? Matsui with Albert Pulojs? Damon with Jason Bay ??? No question each or all of those moves can happen and there 's nothing the other teams can do about it.. Congratulations Yankee fan, you live in New York ( for some god awful reason - but that's beside the point )
Bud Selig is a worthless idiot making 20 mil a year doing basically nothing. I'm jealous- I'd like his job.Unless the owners take a hard look at the game 5-10 years down the road, I'm going to spend my baseball dollars watching the Clearwater Phillies , the Charlotte Rays or the Tampa Yankees....watching baseball at its roots, not the major market dominated mess that MLB has already become.
Yankee fans, have your fun, your team of latter day mercenaries has won. but beware, that faint smell in the distance is the smell of MLB burning while you fiddle away in rapt ignorance......
