Compare their history to major market teams like the White Sox, Cubs, Dodgers etc. Also, they bring some pretty good players up through their farm system...Cano anybody?? Boston could have had A-Rod but they backed down, they also sold a fair pitcher to the Yanks awhile back, what was his name? Babe something??? I think he went on to have a decent career and hit a few home runs! I'm a Twins fan so I have every right to resent the Yankees, instead I appreciate what George does, it is good for baseball and gives a lot of angry and frustrated folks something to hate!

Legal cheating.That's all it is.They get to have all the good players,and then cry loud as can be when their little all star bunch of hitters beat up on soft pitching.The only thing I don't understand about it is the feeling of accomplishment some feel when a 215 mil team beats a team spending usually half as much.Out of hand,and they will never get my respect for buying a playoff spot.It is a f'n joke.Don't now why they let the sport get so bastardized as this:
1. NY Yankeees 215,662,180
2. Boston 120,100,524
3. LA Angels 103,625,333
4. Chicago Sox 102,875,667
5. NY Mets 100,901,085
6. LA Dodgers 99,176,950
7. Chicago Cubs 94,841,166
but,what is pathetic is to gloat about your $215 million team being able to beat other teams..Oh f'n really? You get to have all these great players to hit,and gee f'n whiz ya beat people??? What an accomplishment.Can't f'n believe it happens that way.I wonder why that would just tend to happen that way?Hey,how about we give some teams 4 outs every couple of innings too.Cuz,hell they are in a bigger market,and they want to win.
