I maybe naive, but I believe wholeheartedly, once Steinbrenner is gone, we'll see a cap in baseball salary, true revenue sharing and $200 million salaries taking the field against $40 million teams.

The only people who truly argue that teams should be able to spend spend spend are the Yankees and BloSux fans (for the BloSux, I think it's just to keep up with the Yankees).

But, I guess in the end you get what you pay for..... 2 very high paid worthless players sitting at home watching the ALCS, blaming everyone else on the team and in management except themselves.

I guess it must be nice to buy players that can win a division but choke in the first round. And it must be very satisfying to be a fan of a team that spends more than 4 times that of a team that had a better August and September than you and had it not been for their YOUTH and inexperience they would have beaten not only your season records but one of you out of the wildcard.

Then there was Tampa who spends maybe 1/5th of what you do and they owned you.

Yes I guess there is a lot to be proud of as Yankee and BloSux fan..... your owners outspend everyone, you are there at the end of the season... but now like 24 other teams fans, you get to sit home and watch 4 other teams battle for the WS Championship.

Only unlike the other 24 teams that are home, you get to sit on the most expensive worthless group of underachievers, has beens and prima donnas in baseball.

Must be nice to be a Yankee and Blosux fan.

Me? I'll take my overachieving Indians that have another year's experience and a truly bright future and my Cincy REDS, who have class act players, the greatest player in my lifetime and a team that is going to be stronger next year.

Neither team may be there but I know that both team's players gave all they had and made this season a fun and great season, that I can look back on with pride and the knowledge that next year those 2 teams will only be better and stronger....

Yankees and Boston fans have a winter of discontent, and wondering how much more they can spend to buy a championship.

The answer my friend is blowing in the wind, cause unfortunately the players you get for those big bucks aren't team players and as we saw this year when the time comes and they are needed to show why they make their big money...... they choke and are sent home to blame everyone but themselves.

My response is, "I like to put forks in an eletrical socket, just LOVE that feeling, can't ever get enough of it, so will you let me put this copper fork in that electric socket?"
