The Yankees are quickly becoming one of the most over-hyped teams in baseball. Since 2000, what have the New York Yankees done—besides blow almost-guaranteed series victories?
The Yankees have been to the World Series twice since 2000 and they’ve lost both times. In 2001, they lost to the Arizona Diamondbacks and in 2003 the Florida Marlins beat them.
It seems that 2004 was a pivotal season for the New York Yankees. The Boston Red Sox came back—somehow—from death’s door to beat the Yankees in the playoffs. The Red Sox went on to win the 2004 World Series.

We are two games into the playoffs, and it’s time to start checking up on Alex Rodriguez. Why? Well, for one, he’s paid just over $25,000,000 per season. For another, he’s notorious for failing to deliver in the clutch. So, how has the highest paid player in the league done so far? Not too well.

It’s only game one of the 2006 season, but the Miami Dolphins have already proved they have work to do. One week ago, I wrote an article entitled “Miami Dolphins Over Hyped.” In that article, I talked about why the Miami Dolphins are not as good as the media was hyping them to be. I gave three solid reasons why. One reason was Daunte Culpepper. I mentioned his interception problem before. Last night that problem showed up in spades.
