ALCS Rangers Vs. Yankees: Discussion Thread

Unbelievable. Great game.

 

Just goes to show you no lead is safe against the Yankees. That's got to be an awful loss.

 

If you want to get personal then take it to the Fight Club.

 

With the Yankees payroll they should win the World Series every year...

 

Well thank god the Yankees bring in money for the rest of baseball. If it weren't for the Yankees, teams like the marlins, pirates couldn't build new stadiums and watch their owners pocket about 30-40 million dollars a year. True story.

The whole payroll argument is tired. Teams like the redsox and phillies payrolls approaching 140-165 million. The Yankees check in at about 195.

Well to be honest I wasn't the one trolling. But I'll follow the rules.

 

Simple and to the point. QFT.

 

You're a bit low on the Yankees payroll amount. In an article I read yesterday morning in my local newspaper, the Yankees payroll was stated as $225 million. By comparison, the Rangers payroll is $85 million.

 

Yankees 2010 Payroll Updated with Nick Johnson | Bronx Baseball Daily 196 million in the beginning of the season
ESPn has it at 206.



2010 New York Yankees payroll - National Sports business | Examiner.com, 206 with aquisitions of Berkman, Wood and Kearns mid season. The 225 miilion number you got is not true. Woods and Kearns were cheap and the astros ate most of Bermans salary. That salary contains Igawa and Nick Johnson (dl for the year) at a cost of around 15 million.

IF I were the Yankees I would do whatever it takes to keep CC on his normal 5 day rest or lower. He has had this problem all season pitching on more than 5 days rest his ERA is over 4. THey should have him toss a simulated game in between series, if that's what it going to take.

 

Last night was one of the most gut wrenching loses i;ve seen...we let them off the hook. We need thiswin today to make the series interesting.
