You mean spending the absolute shit loan of money they make on big stars that give them a chance at a championship?

It's the Yankees... everything has to be bigger. They make far and above more than any other baseball team, I don't see why this is a huge deal.

While i dont agree with overpaying on some of these players. sabathia for example, no one bid even close to what they did and they werejust bidding against themselves. I do love the fact that they say to hell wth selig and his luxery tax that is singling the yankees out and continue to do what is in the fans best interest. How could anyone not like an owner who is willing to go out and get the best player every single year? unless you are a fan of a team whos ownership doesnt do that

I don't think the Yankees are doing the fans best interest.
buying all the crazy expensive star players from the yrs before is nothing but a way to get us to the stadium.
The Yankees need to do what they did in the 90s with young players. have the expos train the players for the Yankees lol
with so much money there is no reason to play hard lol
The Yankees lineup has experience great players but look at the tigers rofl they had the best players $$$ and did crap.

Im with this man. Even though people can come up with numerous reasons why (i.e. marketing tools, supply/demand), I'll never respect it because guess what? Teachers and doctors dont even make a fraction of what these uneducated fucks earn/deserve.

Teachers and doctors don't serve a commercial and publicly traded entity by bringing in billions of dollars a year from millions of fans and spectators.

Advertising costs money plain and simple.

I understand that and thats why I mentioned marketing. Its just the sad thought that still exists that these guys make ABSURD amounts of money. And of course Im hating. Thats my middle name and whats tattooed on my knuckles.
