Check this Yankees/Sox fact out....................

[wayne1218]

Team Payroll

N.Y. Yankees $182,835,513
Boston 125,208,542

That is a DIFFERENCE of $57,626,971

All of these TEAMS WHOLE SALARY below could be paid with just the differential between Boston and N.Y.



Texas 54,825,973
San Diego 54,639,503
Minnesota 53,585,000
Baltimore 51,212,653
Toronto 50,017,000
Kansas City 47,609,000
Detroit 46,353,554
Montreal 43,197,500
Cincinnati 43,067,858
Florida 42,118,042
Cleveland 34,569,300
Pittsburgh 32,227,929
Tampa Bay 29,506,667
Milwaukee 27,518,500


To go further on we (with that money) could have these players on our roster with what we got.....................

Guerrero, Vladimir 11 million
Carlos Beltran 9 Million
Jason Schmidt 7,937,500 million
Mark Mulder 4.45 million
Albert Pujols 7 million
Randy Johnson 16 million
-------------------------------------
$55,387,500

We would still have $2,239,471 left over which means we could give 22 members of bettorschat $100,000 each AND use the $39,471 left to throw a big Party!

PLEASE don't say the money is equal, it is not and hopefully this gives you a better perspective of what dominance they have financially over their sport. There is NOTHING like it in any other sport, NOTHING!

Simply put, they should win every year!

GO RED SOX!

That's a very good write-up-unbelievable the money that is spent!

[wayne1218]

With the YES network and almost twice as many seats as us, it's not going to change anytime soon and nobody (including us) can compete financially. Just the nature of the beast! :D

Thanks, it took a little bit of time to put together!

[Winton]

I believe Pujols & Beltrans salaries will increase a little bit next contract! What do you think?

[Winton]

WAYNE DO THINK THAT SOME OF THE REASON THE LINE MOVED SO MUCH IS THAT SOMEBODY MIGHT KNOW THAT SCHILLING IS POSSIBLY HURT MORE THAN PEOPLE KNOW?

I am not saying the money is fair but you have to admit that Sox fans have little to cry about. Christ, you spend the second most! The system isn't fair but don't blame the Yankees for being the best in this system. They spend what they make, and that is ALOT!!!! :D

It helps being in a city with 9 million people!

With two teams don't forget.

Look, I can't sit here and say I think it is fair how baseball is set-up. But the Red Sox aren't exactly the sisters of the poor. If Red Sox Nation is so worried about what the Yanks spent they so be it. All I am saying is that they have spent way more than any other team that has beat us so stop And if spending equals championships then the Rangers would be the best hockey franchise ever, while the Knicks would be the best NBA.

Good luck tonight Sox sufferers!

[friday]

interesting facts but no solace for you sox fans as tonight the yanks rap up another pennant. GL next year.

[Winton]

Actually I'm not for any team but the one i wager on!

[Winton]

I personally think the Yankee's win tonight but after losing on them for 2 days in a row I think I will just watch and not sweat it!

TONY, TONY, TONY, Look at the numbers in Hockey and the nba. The differences are not even comparable to this baseball one, not even close!

I'm not crying either. I said it was the nature of the beast! :D

[wayne1218]

Winton, Schilling just guaranteed an hour ago that the ankle will not be an issue with the new designed high tops. Whether it's true or not......... We will see! :D
