The more I think about I can't stand how an empty win it was. Are they really proud of it? I hear commentators say that while they did have a huge payroll, the players still had heart. I was like

I WOULD TOO IF I GOT PAID ASS LOADS OF MONEY TO PLAY BASEBALL!!!

I ain't questioning whether or not these guys are good. I just don't think with their payroll it was impressive. Yeah, yeah, I know...they'll continue to win championships and be known as the most successful franchise but they'll also be known as the team that buys them.

If they spend and don't win, it's "you can't buy championships." If they spend and win, it's "they bought it." :roll:

The Yankees have had the top payroll for how many years now? The argument that they bought this championship might hold some water if they won every year.

That just shows how shitty their management is and that the team is poorly run.

I know that's a lot of TerdSnark©, but there's a good deal of truth in what you said. They made a lot of bad moves in an effort to win now. This year they got the right mix of guys. That's all.

I don't think having the highest payroll means you should win the Championship. 5 and 7 game series are such a small sample size compared the the regular season, so anything can really happen once you get there. But having the highest payroll definitely means you should have a better team - and the Yankees have made the playoffs every year except 2008, which may seem unfair to some since they likely got there by spending a lot of money. I'm not griping, because I like baseball the way it is. Just saying is all.

The playoffs aren't much more than a crapshoot. Whoever gets hot can go far, and one mistake can cause a huge shift. That's why I think the Royals win it all next year.

I don't like baseball the way it is but the yankee payroll has nothing to do with that.
