JMac Posted December 23, 2008 Share Posted December 23, 2008 I was hoping he would resign with the Angels. He is a good player and a guy you root for but not now that he is a Yank Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spjunkies Posted December 23, 2008 Share Posted December 23, 2008 Baseball is complete bull. I give the Nats credit for really trying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MattFancy Posted December 23, 2008 Share Posted December 23, 2008 http://sports.espn.go.com/mlb/news/story?id=3790141 Just saw it on espn.com. This is sick. Only in baseball can a team get the 3 best FAs in one year and have the 4 highest paid players in the league on one team. Unreal. This is why everyone hates the Yankees and baseball...

HighOnHendrix Posted December 23, 2008 Share Posted December 23, 2008 The Yankees trying to buy the World Series...Yet another reason for me not to watch Baseball. My team, the Mets, spent nearly as much as the Yankees every year for the last decade. You know what we got for it? Zilch. Money alone can't get you a ring.

Popeman38 Posted December 23, 2008 Share Posted December 23, 2008 5 players, ~$890M dollars. **** the Yankees. The people in NYC ought to riot that they are funding the new stadium while the owners spend like this in this economy. Done with baseball.

Money alone can't get you a ring. Such a tired argument with no basis in fact. You look at who they got...major talent and why can they do it because they got the money for it...at times I think the one thing every player waits for his the day they get to go sign a deal with the Yankees. It's one of many reasons for me because now all we're going to hear about from now until next off-season...is how much they spent on & how they & the Red-Sox are doing from their unofficial propaganda network...ESPN I think I'm done with Baseball...the O's have a crappy owner and are showing no signs of being contenders anytime soon...and they are in a division with the Yankees & Red-Sox who get into bidding wars every off-season and are on ESPN at least once a week... :doh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popeman38 Posted December 23, 2008 Share Posted December 23, 2008 Anybody know what the luxery tax is the MFYs have to pay this year?They are paying $23M this year. Next year, they pay nothing thanks to the new ballpark. Why do they get en exemption from the luxury tax when the stadium is being publically financed?

ST is my boy Posted December 23, 2008 Share Posted December 23, 2008 This is one of the biggest hits to baseballs credibility outside of steroids in a long time. Just un real....I cant believe it. Just sick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have to say, I'm really annoyed at the Yanks too now, but seeing this reaction is actually pretty entertaining. Its always good to have one villian.

Almost every other team is having to pinch a little. The Yankees have a built in fanbase of NYC, plus all the nut huggers all around the country that like winners. Like Lebron James.

MattFancy Posted December 23, 2008 Share Posted December 23, 2008 They'll sign Manny Ramirez to 3/80. Just watch. if they get manny, they should just not even have a 2009 season. i'm sure they'll try to get sheets too. mlb wonders why people don't care about baseball anymore. its the same teams every year: yankees, red sox, mets, competing for FAs and they can outbid any of the other teams. when is the last time a good FA went to the royals, nationals, marlins, pirates, rockies, twins, etc. this would never happen in the nfl!
