ubiquitous said "AX, What's the deal between a game and a revenue-sharing ? Are u trying to tell us that we should also like Bombers cause of their revenue sharing? man! get real... Why? Cause they get money and they have money so they do it... if any other team has the same amount of revenue they would have done the same. Just buying all the good players don't make a better team. And even gettin' AROD ain't a real deal for yankees, so we are better without him." >>> Bro, I don't know why you being so defensive. What I meant to say was Yankees is good for the baseball game and its popularity. People like John Henry (ahem ahem) think Yankees as an evil empire. I just don't get it, while his team has 2nd highest payroll to Yankees. Even with $125 Mil payroll they tried to acquire AROD and M. Ordonez which would have ballooned it's payroll to around $140 mil. So stop accusing of paying well to their players. BOSS wants the best team he can offer to Yankees fans, thatýs why he is an ICON. Talking about revenue sharing and luxury tax, Red Sox contributed $15 Mil (you didnýt know???) while Yankees contributed $60 Millions last season. If you canýt afford the good players, may be you should be in some other business. I hope some real baseball fans buys the Red Sox Franchise, so Yankees fans can see more competitive games. I know the commis is trying to control the payroll and it had hurt Yankees, but I think it's good for the baseball. Small market teams from Florida, Minnesota, Milwaukee and Arizona are benefiting from it. I agree with you having the big payroll doesn't guarantee you the championship; ask Red Sox, Dodgers and Mets You also said "As you said ... we are paying more to Ramirez cause he is better than overrated AROD. If you think i'm just saying what i want then go look at the stats. Manny ramirez has done more to the BOS team than AROD did to yankees. So, cut the crap. Anyways, i'll let the team shut u up... " >>> Dude, what you talking about? I know Manny is a good hitter who hits for average but that doesnýt make him a complete player. Player stature like AROD is hard to come by. Itýs once in a lifetime. AROD is a complete player. Bro, have you ever heard of 5 tool player*??? Thatýs what AROD is. And didn't your team try so hard to acquire him coz he was the best player in the game??? it's sad that you guys couldnýt come up with extra $12 Mil to land him and oh yeah your team was going to give up Manny and Nomar, who I still think was the best player in your roster. Accept that fact that your Red Sox management was not creative to land AROD and lost the battle to Yankees. Ask few of your Red Sox/non Red Sox fans, if you have a chance to start the new franchise and got either Manny or AROD to pick who would they pick..... I would have agreed with you if you were to compare AROD with Nomar coz both are 5 tool players. If you donýt know what 5 tool player is, hereýs are few names - Miguel Tejada, Carlos Beltran, Andruw Jones, and Barry Bonds and Ken Griffery Jr. in their early years. * 5 Tool Player Hit for average ý Manny, AROD Hit for Power ý Manny, AROD Strong Throwing Arm - AROD Run the bases skillfully - AROD Play Solid Defense - AROD You show me the nos where you can prove me wrong else I stand correct.
