    I would have no problem with other teams spending more than the Yankees; I think you're assuming I'm a fan of the Yankees having a $200 million payroll, I'm not. But I do beleive the Yankee ownership, like every other team's ownership, has the right to spend however much it wants or can; I just don't like the idea of the Comissioner dictating payrolls (call me a baseball libertarian.) Whatever harm high payrolls do to baseball indirectly are repaired by the good it does directly (the boost places like Toronto and Kansas City see in ticket sales when the Yankees come to town, tv revenues, etc.)

    Yes, let's make teams worse...that will help baseball! And just because I disagree with you (and you're apparently God's gift to baseball) doesn't make me an '*******' or 'jackass;' I'm sure you're above that, please act like it.

    Yes, let's punish big market teams which draw alot of fans. And, let's punish owners who are willing to spend a few dollars to help their team win. Salary caps are a ridiculous idea for baseball.

    It's a bit too long, that's what it is.

    I guess that's why he played like a dog... Bad joke, I know.

    I thought this was Major League Baseball...not Little League. Hey, while we're making the game 'fair' for everyone, why not just suspend the World Series and send everyone home with a ring?

    This isn't from a Yankee fan, it's from a baseball fan. There's no reason for salary caps in baseball.

    Salary caps? :thumbdown

    Only one lefty?

    Welcome to the forum!

    Yeah, they said in the article that Giambi called.

    I remember reading this morning that Damon was called by one (or a few) Yankees; has anybody heard who actually called him?

    I think I would die too if someone I was trying to get the best (by best, I mean biggest) deal for turned down $12 million.
  17. Optimist
    I hear alot of people saying this, but I haven't seen it anywhere.

    Opening Day 2006: :damon: -------> (Thank you George!)
  19. Optimist
    You know something is wrong when people start describing $12 million as a 'few extra dollars.'

    I remember a thread awhile ago about David Wells, when he was complaining about New York fans; examining that thread, along with this one, would be a great study in role reversal.

    Where's the crying smiley? This person seems to need it. Speaking of smilies...what are you mods going to do with this one? >>> :damon:
  22. Optimist
    When I heard this, this morning, I was shocked. I really thought Damon was going to go back to Boston. Well, on paper, I like this deal. I don't think it can be really judged though until the season starts and we see how this whole thing unfolds.
  23. Optimist
    Don't want to sound like a broken record...but I'm shocked. I didn't see this coming; I thought Cashman or Damon were just trying to bump up the price Boston would have to pay.
