LOL... this sounds like my family too (native New Yorkers) only with the Mets and the football Giants.
There was one Mets game a few years ago that went about 14 innings or some such horrendously long period. I stayed up to watch it and called my father around midnight. He was up watching it too and we ended up watching it together on the phone for the next 2 or so hours, until it ended.
Now THAT was some phone bill ::lol::.

Season's over. See ya next year!
Bottom line...
Yankees $180,000,000
Red Sox $104,873,607
Almost half!
Incidentally the Yankees were the only team to pay the luxury tax (a paltry 10 mil).
1. I am NOT a sox fan.
2. I was responding to a post which made the claim that Boston spent a comparable amount of money to catch up to the Yankees. Go back and read it.
What about the yankee payroll being 65% larger than the next highest franchise?
lol!
It sadly reminded of those 9/11 threads, which always bring tears to my eyes whenever I read them. It impressed on me that this all is just about a dumb game.
Baseball payrolls by average annual value as of July 15 (and reflecting the Yankees-Mets trade of July 16) as compiled by the commissioner's office for luxury tax purposes and obtained by The Associated Press.
Payrolls are for 40-man rosters and include averages of multiyear contracts plus $7,552,271 to cover health and pension benefits; clubs medical costs; insurance; workman's compensation, payroll, unemployment and Social Security taxes; spring training allowances; meal and tip money; All-Star game expenses; travel and moving expenses; postseason pay; and college scholarships.
The projected luxury tax is assessed at a rate of 17 percent on the amount above $117 million. The actual luxury tax will be assessed on the final payroll after the season.
