"Just like the dems, the Yankees will try AGAIN to BUY another world series.
The Sox are a great team with a real cast of characters that showed some tru grit, even when they were down by 8 runs. I hardly think they "suck". Your pretty boy pinstripes almost BLEW the game last night. It is a long series and the Yanks have won NOTHING yet."
Buy another World Series? I suppose the other teams players work for free? The Yankees are America's Team because they do whatever it takes to win. Unlike loser teams (ie. Red Sux) they are willing to pay top price for performance. If you don't get the job done you are gone. Seems like a good capitalist philosophy. BTW, the sox payroll is not exactly at the bottom of the scale.
Yeah, Ok. You speek for all of America.
The fact is, yes the Sox have a 130M payroll, which is 2/3 of the Yankees payroll, so of course they (Yanks) are going to BUY their way to another shot at the world series (which worked out real well for them last year, by the way).
Yes, the Sox are also big spenders in a big market. Blame the Yankees for that. However, no-one else in this league has much of a chance because of the Yankees deep pockets.
Like I said... It is a seven game series. May the best team win.
But don't you understand? Even though Red Sox payroll is the second-highest in baseball, the Yankees are the ones wearing the top hats and carrying around sacks of money, while the scrappy Boston Dirt Dogs have to fit in baseball between sharecropping and coal-mining. It's very tragic. ;)
