I actually agree if your point is that in many ways George hurt the yankees more than he helped. If your contention is that it is simply about outspending everyone else, that simply isn't true.

The yankees have to have a plan just like everyone else. They have a huge advantage with the monopoly money but they still have to put the hotels in the right places.

On another note, I can listen when a Royals fan or even a Rays fan wants to bitch about the Yanks spending money. But when I hear it from a Red Sox or Mets fan...
