It's Official: The Yankees' Off-Season Was a HUGE Fail

SI's Jon Heyman takes the completely appropriate perspective in dissecting the Yankees' off-season acquisitions of Sabathia and Teixiera.

The whole thing was such a letdown after the big buildup, yet manager Joe Girardi declared in the postgame press conference that he feels as good about this Yankees team as any team he's ever been associated with, big talk since Girardi was on the 1998 Yankees team that won 125 games.

[Yeah, Girardi. Idiot. You just lost a game. Totally not something that the '98 team would have done.]

Between Sabathia and Teixeira, the Yankees got zero return on their $341 million investment.

[Seriously. If Cashman knew that Sabathia and Teixeria were going to have a *single* bad game over the course of their lengthy multi-year contracts, he would have NEVER inked those deals. Spot on, Heyman. Kudos on a job....... done.]
