The Yankees Payroll

Joe Posnanski wrote a good post about the Yankees payroll. It’s something all of us non-Yankees fans know and complain about, but even as a fan of the high-spending Red Sox I can’t help but agree when he writes “You have one team (and only one team) playing the video game on cheat-mode.”

The following is a screed about the Yankees payroll. If you are a Yankees fan uninterested in a screed about the payroll, don’t read it. You won’t enjoy it. Go out, buy a championship T-shirt, reminisce about this great team, enjoy the victory. I’m telling you: Don’t read it.

As for the rest of you: The following is a screed about the Yankees payroll. I rarely write about it because it’s like writing about the heat in Phoenix. … But with the Yankees winning the World Series and then talking about how it showed the team’s character, well, yeah, I thought maybe this once.

(Looking at this and my last blog post, it’s clear I have to move on from baseball and my hatred for the Yankees…)
