Yankees havent taken it in a while.....so whats the point of the payroll than? lol Personally I dont like watching everyone hit homeruns, i like a one or two homerun hitters and the rest to be solid hitters that hit it around the field well. I also like a team that does well with a low budget, as in the twins :study: (I love getting into baseball and starting arguements)pecs=sexs said:

It does become a lame argument after, what, 26 WSC'sBeelzebub said:
Not-for-nothin', but, professional skilled workers base payroll in NYC is higher across the board than that of some city in BFE. NYC window washers, doormen, toll both clerks, and many other jobs are better payed than some degreed professionals in other cities acroos the country. Taxes are higher, cost of living is higher, housing is higher, etc., etc.. Everything in NYC is bigger and better. Especially the Yankees
Don't hate the playa...

I LOVE the payroll arguement about NY!!! Was it not TEXAS that started this whole sh*t giving A-ROD an *ss-load of cash??? But everyone wants to hate the Yanks. LOL. Keep it coming because hate=fear and the knowledge that they are the greatest team in the history of not only baseball but ALL sports.

Well the curse of the bambino arguement got real old too and the redsox did hand the yanks a whoopin in the last 4 games of the acls in 2004 giving the yankees another stat for the history books....the only team to get beat in a best of 7 series when up 3-0. I don't deny the yankees are a good team, but their arrogance breeds the hate they aquire from fans.Bionic said:

I don't have a problem with the payroll, my point was for the money they spend, I dont think they are getting as much out of it as they should. Many other teams are very comparable or better in my book with a much lower payroll, that was my point. I wont disagree that the yankees have been one of the best teams ever, they just don't seem to pull through anymore.
On the other hand, I also think some teams should up their budget and stop being little *****es about it. Some teams just need to compete better instead of getting rid of their good players since they don't want to pay them anymore.

Inversely, my point, that 100k a year gets no more in NYC than 60k a year if BFE. Market and it's economics dictate the salaries. The salaries are commensurate with what the market and economics can bare. The salaries do not dictate the performance and or dividends of the investments.snakebyte05 said:

No doubt! Big friggin' upset, for real! LOL. But who's arrogant? I just don't see it. I don't think Torre or Cashman would stand for it. Plus, whenever a Red Sock is being courted by the Yanks, you hear how all of their talk is mostly out of jealousy. I'm not surprised.

Well I can tell you this. The yankees spring training at legends field is right down the street from the hospital I work at, so whenever one of them gets hurt they come in. I've met giambi and posada that way.....I will say they were cool, but steinbrenner also frequents visits....you wanna talk about arrogant and condescending. The guy is a complete a-hole and I've witnessed him completely degrade healthcare staff who were doing their best and couldn't have been kinder to him. I guess my personal experience dictates the way I feel though. I do agree I don't think torre is in form though.Bionic said:

From today’s Daily Quickie on ESPN.com:
Hello, my name is Carl Pavano. I used to play baseball (my last appearance was 6/27/05) and date Alyssa Milano. Now, I'm pitching one inning of Double-A ball before leaving with tightness in my arm. For those keeping score at home, the Yanks paid $40 million for: a bad rotator cuff, back problems and a bruised butt cheek. :nutkick:

but i'm sure an excuse can be found.

manny has been on fire lately. i'm just glad manny didn't get a chance with bases loaded, could've easily been a different turnout.
on a side note, i found this funny and so will you boston fans:
on howard stern show yesterday, some fetish porn chick came into the show. she explained her fetish was to be choked during intercourse and that her name in the movies was paris. to which artie lang replied "if you're known for choking, you should call yourself A-rod." :lol:

Well I would not believe it if I didn't see it with my own eyes, A-Rod finally came through in a clutch situation.. and it kinda felt bad seeing Pedro geting hammered by his old teamates..
Are there any teams in the N.L. that can go against any A.L. leading team and win ... does not look good for the NL.
