Would you Yankees fans accept anything short of a World Series victory?

Rock Firestorm asked:


Would you be happy if the Yanks just make the playoffs and lose or make the WS and lose? Or is only total victory only acceptable? If I was a Yankees fan, what they’re spending, only a championship would be acceptable, anything less would be failure, but that’s just my opinion.

no. an AL east title would make a nice consolation prize though.

Faliure is not an option. with the money and new home and everything they put in for this year. Playoffs dont mean notthing to the yankees. right an Al Champ is nada , WS is what they need to bring to NY anything else is just uncivilized.

For a big yankee fan like me no, we spent 1/2 a billion, and were not settling for anything less! On the other hand we were only predicted to win 8 more games this season than last season, but those 8 games count in a division like the AL east.

As a Yankee fan and NYC native I will tell you Hell No !!!! You spent over 400 million dollars, They better perform. And if they lose in the World series it better be in Game 7 in the 9th inning, nothing less.

This goes for any team. I want nothing short of a world series and Im not a yankees fan.

Well, to me, every year anything less than a ring is

EDIT: My answer got cut-off…ugh.

I’ll sum up what I meant to say: I want really bad for them to win the whole thing, but as long as they break their first-round hex, I’ll be okay.

IF I was Yankee fan, I would expect a Championship! They spent half a billion on two player, like seriously, come on, they should win nothing short of a Champioship.
