Sgt Ryan Posted December 25, 2008 Share Posted December 25, 2008 (edited) Do you really believe this? - NY: Damon Jeter Tex ARod Matsui Nady Swisher Posada Cano CC Wang Joba Burnett Hughes Rivera TB: Crawford Upton Pena Longoria Floyd Iwamura Bartlett Navarro Ruggiano Kazmir Shields Garza Jackson Price Percival Games arent won on paper. Would you have thought TB would be in the WS last yr, no. But Price imo is going to be a stud, and Burnett is a joke. Dude will be hurt all year. And trust me Tex will break your heart like Arod. Dude is good when it doesnt matter. Id take TB in a heartbeat if both teams stay healthy. Difference is NY can absorb multiple injuries because they will just buy someone else, while TB cant afford an injury. NY makes me sick on so many levels. Their fans are a complete joke, they could care less about anyone else. Most selfish POS people on the planet, and they throw out excuses like we havent won, so what does it hurt. Parity this and parity that. There isnt parity because of NY, NY steals anyone they want with the all mighty dollar, and if there was a salary cap, and complete shared revenue like football, they wouldnt be able to compete with anyone, and would be like the auto industry after over spending while they only made what everyone else made. Can you imagine if NYY ever applied for bankrputcy protection.If there was a cap and complete shared revenue that is what you would have with this poorly run franchise. But because Bud is such a spineless POS, and allows this to continue to happen its a disgrace to the game. NY and their fans are the biggest joke in sports. They are the Washington Redskins of a few years ago, problem is the salary cap made Washington stop their insanity, while NY has no one to keep them accountable.

Who is reaching, NY is giving it freely going over the soft cap MLB established. Are you really this clueless. So each team gets what a million, so NY can do whatever it wants. Yeah, that is fair. But then again, I wouldnt expect you to see the difference. Whatever it takes is your moto, regardless of the well being of the sport. Why not just have NY buy every team in baseball, and play exhibition games against themselves. Until there is a cap, and complete revenue sharing like in the NBA or NFL, there will always be a huge disparity between the haves and have nots. But then NY would probably be a have not under those circumstances with this current management team in place. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

whomper Posted December 25, 2008 Share Posted December 25, 2008 Since when are you a Red Sox fan. I thought you were a Cubs fan by previous posts. Seriously dude, do you actually have a favorite team in any sport, or do you just change from year to year. Are you sure you are not a Phils fan, I mean they did win the WS this year.

The T-Wolves have made at least a dozen bad signings in the past few years, plus a raft of crappy trades including getting rid of Brandon Roy and this year OJ Mayo, plus the Joe Smith fiasco and the attendant draft pick losses.........we are totally f'ed for the next four decades.

Are you really this big of an idiot. Seriously you change teh argument mid stream to take heat of the original point. THe point is the Yankees are a complete joke and embarassment to this country and baseball. Can you imagine every country around the world hearing about bail outs all over the place and the NYY are spending like this? Complete embarassment. Lets see pay a 27 Mil Luxury Tax and sign every one you wish, or have a hard cap, and be the NY Knicks. Hmm. Which do you think NYY would choose?

detlef Posted December 25, 2008 Share Posted December 25, 2008 How is the NBA a joke. Well, at very least they're nothing that should be used to explain why a cap equals parity. Since 1980, there have been 8 different NBA champs and 5 teams (Lakers, Celts, Pistons, Spurs, and Bulls) have accounted for all but 4 of those titles. That means those 5 teams have won 25 of the last 29 titles. Doesn't sound much like parity to me. Since 2000, there have been 8 different MLB champs and only one team has one it more than once (BoSox twice). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wildcat2334 Posted December 25, 2008 Share Posted December 25, 2008 I effing hate MLB - the roids, hgh and chit coupled with the NY, Red Sox nation chit has ruined it for me completely. I have zero interest in MLB and as someone who grew up loving the game and playing it in college, I really don't even follow it that closely. NFL is a great product NBA has it's share of problems but the salary cap at least gives squads a fighting chance - and the comparisons made between MLB and the NBA are tough to make bc basketball itself doesn't lend itself to upsets the way baseball does. Right or wrong the best teams usually prevail in a 7 game series. in the NBA. oh, and the fact that baseball is a snoozefest doesn't help Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jackshi17 Posted December 25, 2008 Share Posted December 25, 2008 (edited) From Serious Sports News Network http://www.serioussportsnewsnetwork.com/20...o-presents.html Obama doesn’t really have an issue with the way the Yankees spend money HONOLULU, OAHU, HI — President-elect and extreme sports fan Barack Obama is always willing to offer an opinion as to how the sports world can improve itself. However, when reached in Hawaii this week by SSNN, Obama surprised everyone with his latest view. SSNN had contacted Obama to discuss a matter on which most agree — that the New York Yankees spend too much money and disrupt the reasonable balance of power in baseball. Surpisingly, Obama disagreed with the general public. “I don’t see any real problem with what they’re doing,” Obama said. “Is it illegal to so grossly outspend your opponents that it makes a mockery of the competition? If so, then wouldn’t you hear some complaints about me having bought the presidency, since I spent about ten times as much as John McCain? You don’t hear anything like that, do you?” Actually, there are a lot of complaints about that, as many of Obama’s critics contend that he spent his way to the presidency. “To me, money is for three things — winning presidential elections, buying World Series titles, and of course, redistributing hope to the disenfranchised and poor,” Obama said. “So what the Yankees are doing is totally in line with my beliefs. Giving Mark Teixeira $180 million is no different than, say, buying a half-hour infomercial on the four major networks. Nobody had a problem with that, right?” Reached for comment, Senator John McCain said Obama’s latest views explained a lot. “Well, for the last two years, everytime he sends me an email, he starts it off with ‘Dear Milwaukee Brewers LOL,’” McCain said. “So that at least explains that. I just hope that baseball and the American people both ultimately realize that something earned on a level-playing field is worth more than something purchased.” “Ha ha, never!!” shouted Obama, who was sitting on a giant pile of gold coins and fanning himself with a sheaf of $100 bills. “They can try and control us. They can try and impose luxury taxes. But the only tax I’m going to pay is eight years of kicking it at the White House with the World Champion New York Yankees. Viva Sabathia!” Edited December 25, 2008 by jackshi17 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

piratesownninjas Posted December 25, 2008 Share Posted December 25, 2008 That's a retarded analogy in the sports world. I support a sporting environment that is sporting. That means all teams have roughly a level playing field from which to operate. Then you should have just as much of a problem with the teams who spend 10-40 million on a team each year. They're worse than the teams spending hundreds of millions... At least those teams are trying to win. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ursa Majoris Posted December 25, 2008 Share Posted December 25, 2008 NBA has it's share of problems but the salary cap at least gives squads a fighting chance No it doesn't, as witnessed by the post above pointing out how few teams have won the championship over the past thirty years.

ebartender Posted December 25, 2008 Share Posted December 25, 2008 How is the NBA a joke. Sounds like the Sixers and T Wolves are the joke. The NBA is a joke because of guaranteed contracts. It kills a lot of teams that try to make a big signing and then get screwed because the player either gets hurt or is a bust. If the NBA worked like the NFL it would at least give teams a better shot at turning things around. In the NBA if you sign two guys to big deals and they don't work then you have to basically wait until their contracts expire before you can do anything else. I'll use the Sixers as an example just because it is what I know best. If Brand and Iguodala don't pan out it will take the Sixers at least 4-5 years before they can try to sign any other impact players. Yes, if they don't work out it is the Sixers fault for signing them but it shouldn't put a team back 4-5 years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
