I was defending the Cowboys by using one of Vor's reasons of disdain against them to shed light on the fact that great teams earn the right to throw around $$ to continue their dynasty. I was not hating on the Sox for their investments, but rather using that fact to prove a point. But please drop a few more Red Sox-related names to show you know something about Boston, while completely ignoring my point.<BR/>- Sox GalMalloryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12558559175974764329noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5843634434609843017.post-35470347363349676632007-04-04T17:21:00.000-05:002007-04-04T17:21:00.000-05:00I will have to agree somewhat with the Sox Gal. T...I will have to agree somewhat with the Sox Gal. The Old Towne Team has been second to the Yankees in overall salary the past 4 years. However, the Sox have managed to stay below the luxury tax threshold those past 4 years, while the Yankees have been above it those past 4 years.<BR/><BR/>Still, it is very hard for any of us Sox fans(you, Trevor, me, etc.) to think of our team as one that is restricted with payroll issues. In a spending sense, we are akin to our Bronx enemies. That's just a fact that we have to live with from now on. Mnookin and Simmons have stated the same thing in recent years.<BR/><BR/>Then AGAIN, Trevor makes very good points. It's true both the clubs have spent crazy amounts of dollars at players in recent years, but whereas the Yankees went all-out for every past-his-prime former All-Star they could find, the Sox tended to cultivate their farm system, make use of what they had, and mix in a veteran here and there to get a balance. It is because of this mentality that(like Trevor stated so eloqently recently) the Sox are able to throw $103 mil at a future star(Dice-K).<BR/><BR/>Only recently have the Yankees begun to create a good balance like the Sox. Granted, that be because Cashman is now in charge of all baseball operations, but their farm system is stacked, and it is only a matter of time before we see guys like Philip Hughes and Humberto Sanchez in pinstripes. <BR/><BR/>Just stuff to think about. We are more similar than most think, but we've been spending(and in some cases, NOT spending) smarter, in my opinion.The RedBullDawgSoxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00847723758051864356noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5843634434609843017.post-22712225631767794402007-04-04T16:42:00.000-05:002007-04-04T16:42:00.000-05:00It is only your parenthetical apology that has you...It is only your parenthetical apology that has you in the clear, RBDS 2. I would like to comment on your hatred for teams who "dropped big dollars on big stars." The Red Sox are only topped by the most loathed team in the majors regarding $$ spent on players this year. I grew up with the Cowboys, I hardly see how Troy Aikman compares to A-rod.<BR/>- Sox GalMalloryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12558559175974764329noreply@blogger.com
