I’m prA’li looking like sour grapes with all my Yankee bashing but someone has got to put all this championship hype into the proper perspective.
If the Yankees didn’t spend the grip they did on free agent players would they be any better than Atlanta or Seattle?
Manny’s going back to Cali, Cali, Cali.

Q: was Patrick Dorismond or family at the parade?
Oh wait…
Maybe somebody should ask the Nets very very VERY minority “owner” about that.
Barclay’s says “yeah”!
Sean Price says: “fuck you say ‘yeah’ for”?*

THe question is does the salary impact the caliber of the player, in turn effecting the quality of the game? The last thing I wanna see is the entire Yankee staff throwin up that diamond.
imho there is correlation is having a salary cap & the sport’s popularity
NFL & NBA more popular than baseball.
what are fans of teams like the Twins to do? Twins maximized on their talent, & played like a team. But Yankees had 3X the salary of the Twins.
Any of us with no baseball work experience could’ve been the GM of the Yankees, & the Yankees would’ve still won the Toronto+USA Country League Championship (TUSACLC).
any regular team GM “with my limited budget, on the free agent market do I buy”
1 a 40 hr power hitter yet fat guy
2 a .330 ba leadoff hitter, 40 stolen base guy with Gold Glove defense, yet he can’t hit home runs
3 a starting pitcher with the 2.5 era 18 wins
4 a closing reliever with 50 saves
Yankees GM decides
5 all of the above
morons on a Sarah Palin or Gee Dubbz Bush level have a 50% chance of winning the TUSACLC as a Yankees GM

Dmitry: ** who’s ** money? Repeat: ** who’s ** fucking money?
No disrespect but your missing DP’s larger point, it’s not about jocksniffing bullshit (ll) (but yes, shots, from Bloomturd on down).
On a different topic, Dmitry: can you or your peoples confirm that Marat Balagula is still alive?
Thanks in advance.
“If the Yankees didn’t spend the grip they did on free agent players would they be any better than Atlanta or Seattle?”
Maybe not…but they would still be able to, “step right up and BEAT the Mets.” Still allowing all to, “bring the kiddies, bring the wife…”.
How much did they spend again?
