So signing Ortiz for peanuts after he was released, signing Wakefield after he was released for the ML min, buying Millars contract for 3 million, picking up Bellhorn for nothing, getting Varitek as a throw in in a trade, signing Mueller for 2 million a year or less than he was making the previous year, signing Foulke for 3 million, and trading for Pedro and Shilling is "buying" a championship?

Give me a break. They won with 1 big FA signing on the team, Manny. Try to spin the Pedro or Schilling trades all you want but they gave up players for them and didnt pay them more than market value. 3 starting pitchers Lowe, Wakefield and Arroyo won 36 games between them and made less than 9 million combined.

Acting like the 2004 team was "bought" ignores the facts.

The 05 White Sox had 4 players that played significant time Thomas, Crede, Rowand and Beuhrle that were "homegrown". Is anyone saying they "bought" a championship?

Me thinks they may have righted the ship....when Dice and Lacke pitch like Lester and Becket at their best, they may be scary good if this goes on like the recent road trip......Bring Out Your Dead may be a tad early yet ...

They went out for the first time and spend more money on free agents than the Yankees and the result will be a double figure lead by playoff time. Georgie Porgie is rolling over in his grave.
Tough times in NY when another team gets to play on an level playing field financially with the Yankees. Their outspending everyone by 100 mil just isn't working anymore so all you arrogant Yankee fans can kiss my fat ass.
