That is all.
They've come out of hiding since the yanks have overtaken the best record in baseball (but then, with (by far) the highest salary in baseball, they should be winning).
Hopefully, once the yanks have been eliminated from the playoffs, they'll go scurrying back under their rocks and leave this forum in peace. As it is, its unbearable here.
Since you all share one brain, and one mindset (yanks rule! everyone else sucks!), is it possible for you trolls to limit your posting to one ID? You all utter the same crap over and over and over, so there's no real need for everyone to post.
Thank you for your time.

If it's so unbearable here, why don't you do everyone a favor & get lost??
Sad to see how all this NY winning gets you so upset and angry!
Edit: Dope!

Try posting on a Mariners thread or topic every so often and you'll avoid 98% of Yankee talk.
The only moron on these boards that talks about teams that suck is you. No Yankee fan bashes other teams, we are too busy being fans of our own team.
Your take on our "mindset " truly proves that you have no mind.

Having said that: Why should I begrudge the Yankees from doing what the system allows them to -- sparing no expense to put a winner on the field? Winning IS the goal, isn't it?
I think there are "competitive balance" problems in baseball. And I think it's in the best interests of the game to create an economic system where some teams aren't eliminated in April almost every year, and where the "spare no expense" teams aren't all but guaranteed a spot in the playoffs.
I just don't know how to do it. Luxury taxes? Spare me. Most of the "low budget" owners just pocket the money instead of using it to put a better product on the field. And as long as that's the case, they don't deserve a cent from the Yanks or anyone else.
I think complaints about the unfairness of the baseball status quo are legitimate to a point. But I don't think creating a bona fide welfare system is a good idea, either.
I have a huge amount of respect for the Yankees organization and everything they do right. I hate them with a passion, but I respect them.
I have been a life long Yankee fan, being born in the Bronx. I have a great deal of respect for other organizations such as the Redsox, Orioles, Tigers, White Sox, Twins and other long time AL franchises. I don't piss on them, I just root for the Yankees.
As far as the payroll, this is a point of constant ignorance for Yankee haters and the uninformed regarding business. Steinbrenner took over a failing franchise in the 70's, and continued to invest into it and build it. Any other MLB franchise has had the same opportunity, but nobody with his stones did so. The revenue you generate enables you to keep investing in the product if you are good at it. The average Yankee home attendance this year is 54,000. So, what comes first - the chicken or the egg? Shut up about the payroll.
I saw an HBO documentary today that linked baseball to the tragedy of 9/11/01. The impact that the Yankees had in helping to heal this immense wound did not strike me untill I saw this. Besides their (failed) World Series efforts of that year, the team went out in mass and visited fire stations, refuge stations, lost person stations, hospitals, and personally responded to fans who had lost loved one's (mostly fathers) who were Yank fans. These high priced atheletes did this on their own.
So, Ahole, why don't you just shut it. You know nothing about what it means to be a Yankee fan. You are just a disgruntled fan with no island who likes to play point-counterpoint with true fans.

The "system" also allows for many large corporations to get away with paying a disproportionate amount of taxes, because they can afford to hire accountants and lawyers to find "loopholes" for them, while the average joe cannot. You think people don't begrudge them?
You think people don't begrudge wealthy people that get away with crimes that poor people can't? Just because you can do something, doesn't mean you always should. It's going to take serious erosion of more of the league's fan base, or maybe a few more teams to bleed money, before MLB has to step in and correct the situation, which is sad.
That is where most of the resentment for the Yankees comes from. It shouldn't have to come to that.

DH, you are off base here. The NY market, and the YES network, are just a few examples of the large advantages the Yankee franchise enjoys over most every other. Even if the Royals ownership wanted to, they would never be able to put together a monster like NY has done, because they don't enjoy the same benefits of location, population, and other regional factors. It is a never ending circle, because as the payroll grows and grows, it allows the Yankees to not only resign all of their "home-grown" players, but to go after all the major free agents as they become available (or drive the price up to where only NY can afford them). Imagine if Florida was able to resign all of its players (that it wanted) year after year? There is really no way to deny or hide this fact - the Yankees payroll gives them a huge advantage, call it good business, call it whatever you want, but don't try and gloss over it.

I don't begrudge the yankees for using the system, I begrudge the system. I begrudge the 'fans' who think the system is fine because of the disproportionate advantage it gives them, simply due to geography. I begrudge the fans who think that yankees management wants to win more than other teams, because they are willing to spend $200+ million on payroll (while ignoring the obvious reality that the yankees are the only team that can *afford* to spend that kind of money on payroll).
I begrudge the 'pile on' mentality that has overtaken the so-called 'fans' of this board...they see a lone voice of dissent and, like typical chit stirrers, pile on. These are the same chicken chits who, at a fight, are the ones egging the combatants on, but never man enough to get involved without their friends there.
I begrudge the entitlement that I see in every one of these yankee 'fans' who think, because the team spends so much on payroll, they automatically deserve the playoffs.
That, my friends, was the point of this little exercise. To see the 'fans' come out in force, and even worse, people like stown come and only quote other posts, with no real insight of his own.

I have stated a number of times in other threads here that I strongly believe a salary cap is needed in MLB. No team should have to lose all of their star players, all of the time. Yes it isn't fair that some teams have a disproportionate advantage over other teams. But what's being a Yankees fan have anything to do with this? As long as these are the rules, and Steinbrenner plays by the rules, and puts the best product he can out there on the field, what is wrong with being a fan and rooting for that team? Of course there is absolutely nothing wrong with that.
You wanna be po'd at somebody Axtell be po'd at the other MLB owners who for whatever reason don't want to change the system. Bottom line - these owners must believe that profitwise they are making more money this way than some other way, otherwise they would have installed a salary cap by now.
When the new MLB baseball negotiations start up again, one of the new terms should be to penalize cheap team owners who do not plow some luxury money back into their teams.

So, when are you and Stalin going to complete your thesis?
Nice try, but we all see right through you.
I have seen over the past couple of months the way the yankee 'fans' pile on to certain topics. They are not unlike the groups of guys who get into fights, but, alone, cower like beat dog. The same rule applies here.
Then you have the hangers-on like stownie, who don't have a stake in the fight, but feel the need to add their unwanted 2 cents. These are the guys, at the same theoretical fight, who are standing in the circle watching the fight but, again, would piss themselves if they were ever actually in one on their own.

Try this experiment.....take about 3 dozen hungry and agitated rattle snakes, back them in a corner, then try poking them with an 8 inch stick. You'll find the results to be quite similar....only they wont leave you to yap on in the DOPEY fashion we apparently have to put up with.
Are you too blind to see you are hated by Yankee fans and Yankee haters alike ?
The only piling on is by the MASSES against a DOPE like you who continually joins in every topic to cause bitterness, anger, and hatred. You are a constant nuisance to everyone here, Yankee fans and haters alike.
You sir, are a DOPE.

The Yankees and the Marlins, theoretically, play the same sport. But if the Yankees are the Nordstrom of baseball, the Marlins are the Value City.
So it's time to play the always-entertaining Yankees Versus Marlins Payroll Game. Let's throw out the first pitch.
Yankees pre-Sept. 1 payroll: $198,662,180.
Marlins pre-Sept. 1 payroll: $184,317,680 less than that.
Now, to help us play this game, ESPN.com's Dave Kull has contributed some sensational tidbits.
How many Yankees make more than all the Marlins? How about five -- A-Rod ($25.68 million), Derek Jeter ($20.6 million), Jason Giambi ($20.43 million), Mike Mussina ($19 million) and Randy Johnson ($15.66 million). Just A-Rod's salary alone would pay for 54.4 Miguel Cabreras.
The Marlins' current everyday lineup earns a total of $3.134,500. Which is only slightly less than Craig Wilson ($3.3 million) -- and less than 16 different Yankees altogether.
The Marlins' entire starting rotation makes $5.658 million. Which is a little more than Kyle Farnsworth ($5.42 million) but still less than 13 different Yankees (five of whom pitch for a living).
Which led Kull to the most entertaining question of the day: Suppose the Yankees had to play the Marlins with one key rule change in effect: The Yankees could only field a team that earned no more than the Marlins' payroll?
Well, it wouldn't be easy. And the Bombers probably wouldn't even be favored. But using the pre-Sept. 1 rosters, here's the cheapest Yankees team Kull was able to throw together:
Cheapest Yankees lineup
C: Sal Fasano, 425,000
1B: Andy Phillips, 331,150
2B: Robinson Cano, 381,000
SS: Nick Green, 356,700
3B: Miguel Cairo, 1,000,000
OF: Bernie Williams, 1,500,000
OF: Melky Cabrera, 327,000
OF: Aaron Guiel, 350,000
DH: Craig Wilson, 3,300,000
Total salary: $7,970,850
Cheapest Yankees pitching staff
Chien-Ming Wang, 353,175
Cory Lidle, 3,300,000
Jeff Karstens, 327,000
Tanyon Sturtze, 1,500,000
Scott Proctor, 353,675
Total salary: $5,833,850
Total salary for lineup and pitching staff: $13,804,700
After perusing that roster, we'll bet the 2003 World Series trophy on those Floridians.
Finally, if the Marlins do make the playoffs, that $184.3 million disparity between their payroll and the Yankees' will set a new record for (surprise) biggest payroll gap between two playoff teams.
OK, so it's a record the Yankees and somebody break every year. But a record is a record. The previous largest financial mismatch was $145.01 million, which was set by the Yankees ($208.3M) and Padres ($63.29M) way back last October.
If I had to guess it would be the 2006 Red Sox.

So I was wrong. The 120 Million dollar Sox didn't make it into the playoffs, am I correct there? Oh...That's right I am. Now, go back to talking chit but I can tell you the Yankees never dropped off the map in the way the Sox did with that much money wrapped up in a team. Enjoy the playoffs.

The payroll system is obviously broken, but, instead of admitting as such, you want to bring up the Sox spending $120 million, but, ignoring the fact that the $80+ million disparity between the Sox and yankees is higher than most every other team's payroll. Dolts.
Will you yankee fans promise to go crawl back under your rocks after they are booted out of the postseason? Please? And leave the sports forum for those of us who have a vested interest in sports, and not riding a bandwagon like you all do?
This coming from the most ridiculed and least respected of all posters on these boards.

This is comical, because it's not just Yankee fans you have a problem with. It's Mets fans and NY Giants fans as well. Seems anything NY gets your panties all twisted up. Why don't you just acknowledge once and for all what everyone here already knows? You detest anything and everything about New York. First step to recovery Ax...

You truly are a product of intense inbreeding.

See, that's exactly my point. And - it's actually more than $80M (more like $100M) when you add in Abreu and Lidle. But, Yankee "fans" love to remain blissfully ignorant about this, and continue to mention how they "overcame adversity" this season with all their injuries. Please, spare me the nonsense. Your team has single players on it that make more than entire teams. Before you hop on the bandwagon, realize that perhaps this is the only reason the Yankees ever win anything. Not that they have won anything yet.
It has been proven over and over and over again that payroll has nothing to do with World Series wins. Yes, it helps improve your chances into the playoffs, but as Red Sox fans know, it is not a guarantee!
This is obviously the last crutch for Yankees haters. Its an old, washed up arguement. I'm not saying that there shouldnt be improvements using salary caps or floors. The fact is, there isnt and this is baseball today. Until then, its fair play and has been proven that salary does not equal World Series Champs.
