I love teams with small payrolls...who still manage to compete on the field. People like Oakland, Minnesota. Love to see the Pirates doing well this year. The 1960 Pirates are one of my hero teams. And I’m a Red Sox fan.
I was a Los Angeles Rams fan, so I know how you feel.
My Twins are on pace to lose close to 300 games over the last three seasons. So I guess 'compete' in our case doesn't mean quite what it used to. Yet, they've got a new taxpayer financed field too. They're raking in the bucks after cutting payroll after breaking their promise to spend on players if they got a new stadium. Like anyone thought they'd do anything different.
