They have won more titles than the yankees have this decade and the yankees never ever win without outspending everyone.

First of all, I am not a Red Sox fan except when they play the yankees. And that statement says all you need to know. I guess they should just cease operations up there. And 2000 was last decade.

This is also wrong. You are a knowledgable guy but you keep allowing me to find inaccuracies.

In 1998, the Baltimore orioles had the highest payroll in baseball with 70 million, 8 million more than the bombers who went on that year to win the world series.

Sorry Charlie.

It was $74.1 million against $73.9 million, so yeah, technically the Yanks didn't outspend everybody, close enough though.

I've seen that issue before with USAToday, they just sum up the salaries for all the guys on your final roster and ignore who is actually paying them. For instance 2009 all of Gary Sheffield's $14 million is charged to the Mets on USAToday when the Mets only paid him $400,000. Meanwhile Sheffield doesn't count towards the Tigers who released him yet paid him $14 million.

Well my proof readers just havent been keeping up. I figure that gales is allowed literary license (or to just make things up like the great umpire conspiricy) then I can generalize. That and the "wooden leg" thread have me distracted.

Yes because I always expect someone to comb through salary archives trying to find a way to nitpick about a general statement that I made to another poster.
