Hell. 90% of professional athletes are overpaid.
Boston fans just like to blame the Yankees for everything. Your last statement is proof of that.

Not going to deny that one. I dislike the yankees, their front office, and their fans. Some profession athletes actually deserve the money they make. Tiger Woods, Roger Fedderer, Michael Jordan, undeniably the best in their sports. Mark Texiera, not in that category

Nice of you to be hatin' on some of us here at CA.

What a lot of people don't realize as well is that they are more then likely going to have less of a payroll this year then last. They freed up almost 90 million a year this year. These moves were all justified.

Typical low class Sox fan. I hate the Blow Sox with a passion, but I have made many friends here on the boards who are Sox fans, have friends outside the boards that are Sox fans and I can say easily I don't hate the fans. That's just a dumb thing to say.

I know it's hard though. It's tough not to be jealous considering the Yanks are the most popular team in sports, most successful team in sports, wealthiest team team in sports, and just happen to have owners who care more about their fans, their team, and winning, more than any other team in sports.

And I hate all NE fans from the Red Sox to the Patriots.

Boston couldn't close the deal and needed Tex more than the Yankees. For 1.5 million extra a year, they could have closed the deal, but the Yankees swwoped in and took him away and saved a million a year by replacing Giambi. Seems like a bargain to me.

The Yankees spent some bad money on aging players the last 7 years and have paid for it. They are understandably hated because of their deep pockets and desire to win at any cost.

Don't write off Manny in pinstripes next year, although we don't need a loafer. It would be worth it to further add to Boston's upcoming pain.

Ortiz is getting old and so is all the whining from Boston fans. This one should haunt Boston for a while and will be almost as fun to watch as the Pat's collapse.

Bet you coulda heard a pin drop on the streets of Boston when they found out the Yankees did it again.

A preview of late September and you really should be back in school...

you know I used to like Mark Tex... but I can't say as that I blame him...

If only the Reds had half of the money that both Boston and New York spend each year... we'd probably still suck.

Too early to get worked up about baseball. Your Cubans will have grandkids that have plume before the suck ass Red Sox EVER win as many World Series as the Yankees. The glory of the last 2 will eventually fade and you will be back to your 80 year misery like your forefathers.

In the meantime, do you have a team in the NFL still? Wish the Giants were the ones who broke Brady's knees...

The Yankees are well on their way to an 80 year championship misery. When was the last time they won the series again? Please remind me.

Blah, blah Yanks have 26 championships . . . blah blah. Stop living in the past Yankees fans!

Also, the fact that the Patriots are in playoff contention shows what a GREAT team they are. There are only 2 or 3 other teams in the NFL that have fielded more starters this year than the Pats. They've lost their entire starting offensive backfield and have started games with less than half of their starters on defense plus several backups on offense and defense have been lost. To have overcome that many injuries shows what a superior job the Pats have done this year.
