The season is almost over and they are the 2nd best team in baseball. When Sheff, Cano and Matsui come back that lineup is insane.

1) You missed my fishy... just trying to stir up ####2) Sox have 1 player in the top 25 highest salaries for 2006... manny ramirez. the yanks have 7 of the top 25... including FOUR players making more than Boston's highest paid guy (manny). Saying boston is 2nd behind the Yankees in payroll is like saying Canada is 2nd behind the USA in North American Military mightSays the fan of the team with the 2nd highest payroll in MLB......' date='Aug 3 2006, 03:22 PM' post='5268152']

The Yanks should have the highest payroll... they have the biggest market.
Yeah, but doesn't this give them an advantage? I know most Yankee fans will say, "Don't hate the player, hate the game." But there's no denying that this bigger payroll gives them a HUGE advantage over teams from smaller markets, like the Marlins and the Devil Rays.That's why most non-Yankee fans can't help but laugh when Yankee fans brag about how good their team is.It should be.

Steinbrenner also pays significant boatloads of $$ every year for revenue sharing, WAY more than any other owner. That's very good for baseball. When the Yankees come to town, teams that normally draw 20,000 will see twice those numbers. That's also very good for baseball.

The Yankees have an advantage over other teams in regards to payroll...... however that adantage hasn't translated into very much success for the team....... and I think the Marlins are a bad example what with winning two World Series in the past 10 years.

Of course it gives them a HUGE advantage.... There's no denying it.. Hey I'm a Yankee fan but, I know MLB is a Flawed Organization... Between the Roids BS they are ALL to blame for and no salary cap, it's a wreck.... But, I root for the team I rooted for since I was 5.Not unlike College Sports or Olympic Sports, I choose to watch, enjoy and root for my team.... If I were a hater, Id' stay away, I'd probably get off on joking about Salaries and use the flawed MLB angle against the Yanks a few times and then get bored and the whole sport would be like Soccer to me....As MLB is constructed.... GO YANKS

I only brought up the Marlins because their payroll is only about 15 million this year. But yes, they have done well with smaller payrolls. But how you can that the Yankees increase in payroll over the past 10 years or so hasn't translated into success? Going back to 1996, they have won 4 world series and been in a total of 6 of those 10 world series.Oh yeah, not much success at all.

I think the Yanks have achieved a Great deal of success..... Hey, I'm happy...Before there was the great Salary Divide and when George was banished, the Yanks allowed young talent to develop and they built a core of what became a great team for years to come - Like most dynasties, they had to deal with a change over of talent and have still remained a contender.....At the top level of talent in MLB there's a limit - You can't just go out and buy all of it... It's not like there's 3 Randy Johnson's in his Prime-like Pitchers waiting to be paid a Billion dollars... No. We get the Not-so-Randy-Randy Johnson and pay the price for an inflated salary #..... That's what happens - Hey, Id trade Randy Johnson for Papelbon and Jeter for David Wright and save 2 Billion dollars but, that's not how it works and those guys will get paid as well.With that limited talent pool, once you get in the playoffs ANYTHING can happen - Ask Atlanta, Money or not, they have been able to assemble a highly talented team each year up until now YET, still havent' won much... You run into a few hot players in the playoffs and that's all it takes.To me, THE KEY and what really set the Yankees apart all these years has Been Mariano - Without him, they could have spent 500 million.... He makes the difference and it'll be interesting to see what they do without him... OR what the Sox can put together with Papelbon.If you have that rock solid closer, it makes all the difference in the World. And there's not many closers that have lasted pr even matched Mariano for 1 year.

Not really sure how much that will matter.... Melky looks fine so, why have these guys rehab on the job down the stretch.I'd work Matsui in REAL Slow.But, as usual, PITCHING will be the real question...Liddle looke great today. Musina and Wang look good with Wright looking better and I still have faith that Randy can come up big in the playoffs.

Lidle sucks, Wright sucks and RJ is now batting practice. You guys will be leaning on Moose and Wang in the playoffs, and I personally don't think that's enough.And I agree with the idea you can't count on Matsui and Sheff this year.

Those WS teams were not where the big spending was at. It was only after 2000 that their payroll took on a life of its own. The bottom line is that every year I hear about how baseball is unfair, the Yankees a re ruining baseball and the small market teams cannot compete with the big market teams and every year we get a coupld of suprise teams that come out of nowhere who do well. In addition, we have a continual level of success from smaller market teams ( Twins, A's and Marlins) who have figured out how to make the playoffs as a smalle market team...... and once a team makes the playoffs anything can happen.I only brought up the Marlins because their payroll is only about 15 million this year. But yes, they have done well with smaller payrolls. But how you can that the Yankees increase in payroll over the past 10 years or so hasn't translated into success?

Sweet victory for the Sox! Pay back that sweep? It will be tough if the rest of the lineup outsie of PK, Crede and JD cannot get their head's out of their asses! Yanks stealing bases like mad....

That was just due to the delivery of Garcia. I have never seen anyone's motion so lazy in my life. From the stretch it took him just about 2 seconds(in baseball that is an eternity) to go from the break of the glove to out of his hand. Then you got to get the ball there, the catcher has to catch it, throw it, second has to catch and tag. When you give fast guys that much time, there is really nothing the catcher can do....

Yeah but it seemd as if the Yanks were stealing in the series at NY when they owned the Sox last mos. Yeah Garcia is slow to deliver. Glad that he worked on that in the off season. Garland and the Big Unit tonight. This is getting crazy! Bo Sox lose to KC and the Tigers lose. WC getting tight. Div race in the east tight. If Det can go on a swoon and the Blue Jays can get hot look out!

I wanted to kill Neal Cotts in the 8th inning last night. Stupid MFer.... At least Giambi wasn't wearing any elbow armor.

And so said the farmer who killed his goose which laid golden eggs, "Let us eat goose tonight and live like Kings".
It is this logic that is killing baseball, that the current business model is working. The current business model not just views small and medium market baseball fans as second class citizens, it dictates that small and medium market fans of baseball are second class citizens. MLB needs to stop living in the small scope of 'MLB' and understand they are living in a scope of multiple professional sports leagues here in the United States, and most importantly their product is measured against the likes of the NFL, NHL and NBA which treat all their fans like first class citizens, regardless of market size.

I hope the Yankees aren't paying E-Rod much more money than Steve Sax and Chuck Knoblauch were making.
