Go Yankees!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

No way. With allstars at every position they should be well over 100 wins by now. I know, pitching. Well I can only hope for baseball they fail to make the playoffs. We really need an NFL type salary cap in baseball. Until that happens NY, Boston and a few others will be in every year.

I hate the Yankees BUT I appreciate your service to our Country.

The one thing that keeps coming back to me, regarding salaries is this:

Why do the owners keep giving them these seemingly absurd amounts of money?

The owners are not stupid men, who would drive themselves into bankruptcy (as many of the athletes do) and the owners have refused to open up their books. The only logical explanation is that the salaries paid are still in line with the revenue generated.

One exception and possible answer to the salaries question is "Billy ball".
