For $240,000,000 they need to do nothing less than win the WS.
At that payroll, they should have clinched a month ago.

I thought we liked the risks and rewards of capitalism here. The new curse begins today!
For all the talk of their big-name players and big payroll, the Yankees would be looking up right now at both the BoSox and the Indians were it not for the contributions of some small-name players--starting with a player by the name of Small, 10-0 Aaron Small. After Unit and Mussina, their three winningest starters this year were Smallball, Everybody Wang Chung Tonight, and Get-Me-Out-of-Coors-Field Chacon, who went a combined 25-8. Add in rookie 2b Robinson Cruso, and you've got some huge contributions from lesser names and salaries.
Spoken like a true loser. I notice the stupid Marlins and Diamondbacks haven't given back their trophies! Go Yankees!
Waaaaaahhhhhh!!!!!
The Red Sox aren't exactly poverty stricken. It's not like thay are the bA's or something.
