Why can't you afford it? If the jake is such a great ballpark and the team is doing well, then your upper management isn't doing a good enough job to get the revenue in; or isn't willing to spend the money.
Fuck the yankees and the evil empire. They're still 50+million over Boston's payroll and they are shit. I don't think it matters when it comes down to dollars, it's how you actually manage the funds you have. While Cleveland has added some good kids.. the management needs to up the ante a bit and add 1 or 2 more players that could have a serious season impact.
Either way, it's not like I have the chance to gloat that often .. so let me have my fun
