Drunk Posted February 19 Report Share Posted February 19 Originally posted by sexydiva99 this is the most ridiculous trade I've ever seen....its a disgrace to baseball, all about money, money, money...not even worth watching anymore.... How is ridiculous if the Yankees are barely adding to their payroll? Steinbrenner's a fan's ideal owner. There are some other owners out there that have just as much money or more than Steinbrenner, but let their teams be mediocre e.g., Dodger's owner, Brewer's owner. Steinbrenner does what the system let's him do and STILL makes a profit.Hate the game, don't hate the playa! If anything, you should be hating on the player's union, who refuse to go along with a salary cap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JonStephen Posted February 20 Report Share Posted February 20 just leave it to Yankees fans to justify having a payroll equal to that of an entire division......just goes to show the ignorance involved hereits downright pathetic....I pitty all of you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
househead24 Posted February 20 Report Share Posted February 20 you people just keep blurting out retarted opinions because you dont have A-Rod, The all star short stop turned 3rd baseman right in his prime...its jealousy because everonye else wanted him, but when steinbrener when out to get him an took a chance rodriguez took it in a heart beat...he didnt have to come to the yankees everyone, hello he coulda said no...he wants to win simple as that, just like everyone else so how is that bad for baseball, an all star short stop with 40 home runs the last how ever many seasons wanting to win an championship for once, yea thats fuckin horrible for the sport....he deserves to be on a wining team more than anyone and he was willing to give something up in the search of a ring...how the fuck is that bad for baseball it makes it more challeging now for each team to go out there regardless of who they have and try harder to stop the yankees from winning...yea business played a huge part in the trade but A-Rod just wants to win, plain and simple. I dont know what else to say to you people how is this bad for baseball?? You are over looking who the red sox have for a pitching staff and who the Lakers could have as a starting 5....then start tlakin to me about bad for sports...Karl Malone, Gary Payton, Kobe And Shaq on the court at the same time are u kiddin me, they dont need a 5th player, but noo the a-rod trade is still bad for sports/baseball....The red sox have 2 of the top 5 pitchers in the league, 2 pertentual Cy Young canidates on their roster right now, and that still inst crazier than the yankees gettin' a-rod? Unbelieveable Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

captainpec Posted February 20 Report Share Posted February 20 Or if adding A-Rod to their lineup wouldn't have put the payroll past $130 million... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Codica3 Posted February 20 Report Share Posted February 20 I'm starting to get the impression that Red Sox fans are just pissed off because the Yanks pulled off what Boston COULD NOT do.You guys had your chance, don't act like it's a crime to acquire A-Rod because your team was trying for almost a month to get him on their roster.

I dunno about that.. I know someone that lives out in Chicago now, and he's from NY originally (so he's a Yanks fan), and he says all the people do out there is whine.

Codica3 Posted February 20 Report Share Posted February 20 Originally posted by vicman the chicago people i know here are pretty cool about it, so i might be biased. I just don't think we hear as much of the moaning because we're over here on the east coast, and the majority of people over here wouldn't be die-hard Cubs fans. I would have to assume that in Chicago, the feelings are a little stronger.You also have to remember, a lot of the contribution to the bitterness is due to the rivalry with the Yanks and Bosox, not just the fact that Boston hasn't won in such a long time.

vicman Posted February 20 Report Share Posted February 20 the yankee-sox rivalry is akin to the rivaly that a hammer has with nails. white sox and cubs fans don't like each other, and the cubs fans hate the cardinals, i don't know what they think of the cardinals inking pujols to that contract of his, but my point, is just gets annoying, it's not like the red sox are the devil rays in regards to spending $$$ for their roster. $125 million is a lot of $$$, i dont believe that there is anyother club in the majors that will have a roster of over 100 million this upcoming year.

captainpec Posted February 20 Report Share Posted February 20 Figure the Yankees payroll is more than the gross revenues of practically even sports franchise out there... how are they able to do it? Because you have a real business man running the team. He's started his own television broadcasting to increase profits, etc. There's not to many teams that have increased their revenues short of building a brand new stadium (something we have no need for at the time) and even building a stadium doesn't guarantee increased revenues... look at Milwaukee, Detroit, etc... the spark dies after a couple years.
