That's what ya did. You're paying out twice as much as most teams, and then you say "voila!" As I've told Simon, I didn't think this Feliz guy is good enough to shut down the best teams late in games. His stuff simply doesn't dart enough for me. Regardless, he's a rookie, or whatever. I'm sure if they had your closer, then, they easily ice the game off in the 9th. More often than not, that's what would happen. You're at a huge advantage here. I am surprised when any team holds you off. It's an unfair situation. Of course Yankee fans love that advantage, and call anybody who exposes them a "whiner." I am not whining. You don't deserve credit for buying games.

The Yanks won last night because that got a big game out of Marcus Thames. Who I'm pretty much sure, could have been had by any team in the league for not that much money. Also I don't see what your beef is about their all world closer. He is a home grown guy that just happened to turn into the best guy ever to play the role/position. While you'll get no arguement from me about their willing/ability to throw money around, your rant about last nights game has nothing to do with your grudge about them being pigs. And I didn't even mention a first place team blowing a 5-1 lead with one of the top pitchers in the league on the hill.
