...the Yankee fans seem to be accusing the Rangers of "buying" Cliff Lee, and claiming it's the only reason the Rangers are winning the series, and that the Yankees should have Lee in a fair world.

It sounds like how everyone else describes the Yankees.

I don't believe that a team can "buy a championship" because the team is just that--a team, and anyone they trade for at the deadline is a part of that team. I don't believe that the Yankees "bought" any of their 27 championships, and I don't believe the Rangers "bought" their pitching dominance. Same goes for every other team.

But I still think it's funny that the Yankees' fans are claiming that the Rangers took advantage of the Yankees inability to sign Lee and "bought" him as the reason they're losing to Texas.
