Payroll is an excelent indicator of how good your team is going to be. As a yankee fan you should know since your team year by year is always the highest. Guess which team has the highest amount of world series trophies? Oh yeah the same one!!! Coincidence? Unlikely in a league with 30 teams. The fact of the game is that high spending highly coorelates with a winning team. Is it no surprise that the two highest spenders, being the Yankees and the Phillies have typically been the elite of their conference for the past few years? It is expected. The teams with the big bucks will always be in a better position to win. The average MLB Team spend 85 Million on player salary. In baseball there will always be underachievers due to injuries, and other variables so shortcomings are to be expected as seen with the Sox/Mets/Chicago. The fact is when you are able to outspend the average team by 2.5 times(in the yankees case) there will always be a significant advantage over every competitor and it is a reason why the Yankees hardly have any irrelevant seasons for an extended period of time. When you have unlimited spending it is hard not to be a dominant team in a league in which most teams have a budget. Money isn't everything but the coorelation between it and winning is nothing that can be sneezed at. Winning despite spending twice as much to a team you lost to just means you overpay for mediocre players just because you can. A poor attempt at buying a title.

What argument have I Been outdone in lol? Feel free to send me a link to the post or thread. What

Nice try Brooklyn Bound, but you attempted to call me out for not being a Red Sox fan, then calling me out for a wrong answer to your question(which was actually right), which you didn't even know. In conclusion you got owned and my baseball knowledge is superior to your own. Typical yankee fan

He is 41 with the Red sox too, he was 40 last year, but now he's 41. http://nimg.sulekha.com/sports/original700/john-lackey-2011-4-19-22-51-4.jpg Yeah don't even bother arguing Red sox with me when you make false callouts.

Yeah 13 and 41. I have the Crawford player tee

I assure you I am a bigger fan of the Sox than anyone on this site is of any team. Feel free to test me.

What does Carl Crawford and John Lackey have to do with anything??

Enjoy the 5 year 100 million dollar contract

Don't be mad yankee fans, I'm sure your ownership will go out and overpay for another free agent in hopes that they can buy the title.

Why do each of these two teams get grouped into the same thread? Different division, different confernece, wut? And the Jets are going to get [expletive]ing destroyed this week. Pats D has blown dick, but their offense doesn't scare me one bit. LOL'd at Sanchez vs the Ravens. Tom Brady will definetly win the quarterback matchup and from what I've seen Revis hasn't been as dominant this year in the few Jets plays I've seen. Don't know if thats an accurate assumption though.

Brian Boucher let in some pathetic [expletive]ing goals vs Washington tonight.

Good series, but my Tigers showed that they were truly the superior ball club. A team with true Heart, Integrity, and teamwork will beat a bunch of hired mercenaries anyday. I am sad that the Tigers couldn't beat the Rangers in game 1, but owning the complete shit out of the yankees has satisfied my playoff hunger.

Andre Drummond has been talked about for YEARS as the next great center. Interesting to see how he does in college this year, but he will probably be the number one pick if he isn't a bust.

Huh? So I guess instead of counter arguing Yankees fans resort to posting random youtube videos? Since that's what this calls for!! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P_asve2z2jQ

The Yankees have spent 202M on free agents as opposed to the Red Sox 162. With 40 more million to spend the Red Sox would be looking at a different fate as their pitching wouldn't have been such piss poor. Now this is wit the Red Sox. Imagine if a team such as Detroit(LOL) had 200 million to spend. Right now their sitting at 106M which gives them almost 100 MILLION to work with. Despite only having half the salary of the yankees they are WINNING. [expletive]ing pathetic that a team is able to outspend everyone consistantly every year, but it's HILARIOUS when more often than not THEY GET RAPED LMAO. Great game by the Tigers tonight. Looks like its time to overpay for more players New York, because even with 200 million you still can't compete.
