Have fun with all your faggot ass teams missing the playoffs; number 28 about to feel extra sweet. 8)

I'm not hating, I just call shit like I see it. And it would be pretty fucking pathetic if you hadn't won a bunch of rings with a payroll exponentially bigger than everyone elses.

That's such a lose-lose argument. Because when we win, it's "you guys spend money" & when the Rays made the World Series it was, "you stupid Yankee fans, when will you realize you can't buy players to win?"
& like I've said before, we have the highest payroll because we overpay players. Look at Jason Giambi, we have him like 120 million or some shit, but he wasn't worth that; but it was better to give him what he wanted because we can afford it instead of letting him go somewhere that could hurt us.
Plus the Redsox, Mets, Phillies & Cubs all have huge payrolls; any surprise that the Redosx & Phillies are always there in October? The Cubs & Mets don't win so nobody says anything to them, but since we win, we just look at the payroll. We can pay plenty of people 5-7 million less than we're paying them now, but why not just lock them up by paying more?
Then you have teams that don't even spend money, so fuck them if owners are using the team to make profits; George made the profits & just put the money back into the team. Face it, we're a team that every other franchise in sports aspires to be; the fans at least. I mean, be honest. If the Mariners started spending hundred of millions & went back to the 116 win year, every year you'd be like "damn, we're cheating"? C'mon, don't lie.

Hey Cham, I'd like to remind you that in that 116 year we had NOBODY with legit playoff experience. I was stoked on the season obviously, but we weren't championship material. Matter of fact, last time the Mariners made the ALCS was before A Rod chose to leave (god damn that hurts). Anyways, you can't deny that y'all have an unfair advantage. I'm not hating on you for being a fan, cause obviously if the Mariners had an unlimited payroll I'd be all over it. The league is basically a farm system for the Yankees cause they can sign whatever free agent they want. It's bullshit. The MLB is bullshit. I failed to mention other teams with high payrolls but the Yankees is still the highest. Anyways Cham, you're cool in my book as long as you got love for Ichiro 8)

Although he is was an asshole. I cant really blame HIM for overspending. Its the system that allows it. He was just taking advantage of it. There are owners out there who are wealthier then Steinbrenner but just dont spend the money to win. There are owners out there who would rather save money on their roster and gain millions on revenue shares that teams like the Yankees are paying into. I think Baseball definitely needs a salary cap. But as long as it doesnt have one, I think owners who dont actually play to win damage baseball more than an owner who breaks the bank to win. At the end of the day, would you rather have yankee ownership for your team...or Royals ownership? And yeah he made baseball unaffordable for your average family to attend....but enyce made a good point (yeah I said it), he can only charge what people will pay. If they dont pay it, he cant charge it.

Of course we have an advantage & going into every season, for the most part, we have the best roster on paper; but like Daygo just touched on, he used the system to his advantage. And some owners don't do shit, even if they got the bucks.
& you're a great poster, my man, no hate. :P & it's more than just love for Ichiro, it's just love for the M's. I always had a little some-some for the M's & Cubs. ;D
