Last time I looked, they were leading their division 24 & a 1/2 games over 500 at home and two games under away.

We are required to watch either the Yankees or the Red Sox on the tube more than any other teams in the game here is Seattle. Every year, better than half of the televised games here are those two teams. I have stopped watching baseball because of it. I couldn’t be further away from them unless I moved to Hawaii.

Additionally, the Yankees have violated the luxury tax every year since 2003, the only team to do that. And they have offset the “bill” by being paid high money from television contracts like ESPN must pay to televise them. This rules was made as a deterrent for teams to stack themselves with high paid players that could go to other teams making the competition better. And the Yankees have ignore it since the early 2000’s knowingly. I dislike crooks.

I feel your pain. I was raised in the NYC area and rooted for Yankees, NY Giants, Rangers, etc. Still do.
But in 1964 when my parents moved to Rochester, all we saw was Buffalo Bills - hated them - and no baseball at all (except the Game of the Week). Things have really improved over the years thanks to cable TV ... but I STILL hate the Bills.
BTW, I subscribed to the MLB channel for many yeas. But as the years went by the price always went up and never down. So lat year I told the greedy SOBs to pi$$ off. That's what ruining the game - commercials.
