Re: Ahhh, baseball. NYY vs Red Sox
the sox spent 20% more than the next closet team. not quite the yankess but still up there.
but what's really nuts to me is that when you include the amount the yankess have to pay because of these salaries (i.e. the 30ish million dollar luxury tax tab they have to pay in the fall on top of their 208 payroll), they'll spend ~115 million more than the sox's 124 (they have 750K in luxury tax I think), ~150 million more than the orioles and ~200 million more than the blue jays the yankess payroll + luxury tax is well over 3 times the orioles payroll is ~5 times what the blue jays spent. |
Re: Ahhh, baseball. NYY vs Red Sox
I am a Houston fan and I have to say anyone that makes fun of the pay rolls of the Yankees or Red Sox is just jealous. There isn't a fan out there that didn't wish their owner would fork over whatever it took to win.
In Houston the GM has to walk around kissing McClane's ass, "Please let me spend some money, Please, I want Adam Dunn please" |

Re: Ahhh, baseball. NYY vs Red Sox
You are probably right. I think the difference is Sox and Yanks will do everything they CAN do in their budget. Other owners don't do that.

Re: Ahhh, baseball. NYY vs Red Sox
doing stuff like paying bernie 13 million, mussina 19 million and kevin brown 15+ million is not doing what "it takes to win," and it certainly doesn't rouse feelings of jealousy. Maybe for you its jealousy, for a lot of people its like watching a car crash as you drive by or having an appreciation for absudist art.

Re: Ahhh, baseball. NYY vs Red Sox
Don't get me wrong I hate the Yankees. I hate all the American League. But I do wish my owner took a chance and over paid a guy every now and then.

[/ QUOTE ] its moronic is what it is. thats the part that bothers me when people lump the sox in with the yankees when talking payroll. the majority of the money the sox spend is well spent (and even the largest misapplication of funds, ramirez, was done by a previous group). btw JR, you left Giambi out of your rant. |
