it would. every year its the same story. yankees spending butt loads of money to get anyone they want and not worrying about having to make the playoffs or get to the world series pretty much. in my eyes this looks more like a buisness and less like a sport. i am sure yankee fans will disagree but for the rest of us that like the game of baseball and teams other than the yankees, this just gets annoying year after year.
at this point i dont expect much out of the mets every year since their management is such a mess, but it would be nice to see a league where the difference between the teams that spend the most money and those that dont isnt over a hundred million dollars. i mean c'mon, you could pay pretty much an entire team of players with that. sigh...if there only was a salary cap. and yes i know that boston spent a lot of money this past year too. i am not agreeing with what they did either.
someone made a point about fox being very anti yankees a few days ago. i think that it is pretty much everyone outside of this huge yankee fan base that is sick and tired of this dynasty and is ready for this to come to an end. when this will happen i have no idea. maybe when stienbrenner relinquishes control of the team or something. what i wouldnt give for the 80's to be back again where yankee fans would appreciate just making the playoffs and not expect it every year.
as for this series, boston has been flat out dominated in just about every aspect of the game. curse or whatever, something has to change and i am glad that i dont live up in new england. god this must be depressing for them. |
you are totally missing the fact that the yankees have been built by years and years of success. while i am all in favor of a salary cap, this is the way baseball has been since the beginning of time. george is playing by the rules. go cry elsewhere. maybe we should should start losing on purpose to make all the other teams happy. :rolleyes: |

First of all, everyone knows and should be able to admit that the Red Sox are not this bad. We all know that. But they have been playing ty and the Yankees have been playing good and that's why the results have been so lopsided.
But the main reason I am replying is for the Manny Ramirez bad baserunning comment. If you're talking about trying to go from 1st to 3rd in the first inning off of Ortiz' hit... I think that was the best baserunning I've seen all series from either team. The Sox haven't been scoring runs all series, they have to try and make things happen in that case. And what was he out by? An inch? He was so close to making it. If he had been safe, it would've been hailed as 'great baserunning' by the announcers, but because he was out, it was bad baserunning. |
It's just bad baseruning. End of story |
