I never understood the hatred towards the baseball revenue issue with the yanks and beantown spending more than everyone else. I say good for them, they want to win and invest in the teams. And this is coming for someone who roots for the jays. I wish our owners would spend the money bos/ny does.
I still hate them with a passion but I am jealous of the resources and how they invest them. It also helps to be owned by a someone that cares too. Look at the teams that do well or at least make a lot of money and it seems it is the owners that care. I can't begrudge that.
I use to watch hockey until they put this revenue cap in place. It ruins the good verus evil argument when you have these rich teams battling the small market teams. it is more exciting, and the chance for a dream season by some poor team. it is also much more compelling than watching 25 teams that all spend the same and dynasties are harder to maintain.
I effing hate ny/bos but it would be boring if we all spend the same.
The Halladay trade was nice to see it finally come to an end. I am going to miss watching him on tv all summer, I really hope these prospects turn out. Seeing him in the phillies colours made me feel like shit.
