I am not sure if you looked back at the head-to-head matchup from this season. The Phillies did win 2 of 3 from you.

LET'S GO PHILLIES!!!!

Let's Go Yankees!!! Make us Proud!!!

Looks like maybe the Yankees finally spent enough money to buy another world series! Too bad they can't earn them like everybody else! Anybody can win a World Series (and should) if they spent as much on salaries and stole as many players is the Yankees do!

why is this here?

I soooo agree with you!!!!

 

[wdwpins]

Perhaps we can also find out why it's called the World Series when only 2 countries participate.

why is this here?

i dunno, but i'm flagging it.

why is this here?

Not a really big baseball fan, but the whole "Yankees buying the World Series" is a bogus statement. Baseball fans make the game. They buy the tickets and the merchandise that pays for the team. The Yankees have the largest fan base of any team in baseball and are located in one of the largest markets in America. It's only natural they'd have more revenue coming in. If your favorite team didn't put the money you spent as a fan back into the team and instead padded to pockets of the owners, wouldn't you be upset? Don't blame the Yankees, (or the Red Sox or Angels either) because other teams don't have as many fans. They are just doing what every other team does, just with more money. The whole way baseball is run needs to be changed. It needs salary caps.

Also, don't forget The Yankees pay a luxury tax to small market teams that don't make as much of a profit. (Tampa Bay, Kansas City and Pittsburgh) Without that tax these teams might not be able to exist as they do today.​

Also to note: I don't really care who wins the World Series. Just waiting for the Cubbies to get there

I wonder which will happen first a 5th park at WDW or the Cubs getting to a World Series?

 

[Uncleromulus]

Or the Orioles ever getting BACK to a World series---

Go phillies!!!!!!!!!!

I'm not sure I can agree with that. I think the Red Sox have the largest fan base. Every city they go to(minus New York) there's a huge amount of fans. They have fans all over the country. For the most part, the Yankees fans are limited to New York.

I agree that the Yankees definitely bought their way to the top. Every big player who was available last off season, they bought. One of the many reasons I hate the Yankees. They're just a bunch of egos who always go where the money is(A-Rod, Damon, Texeira...) unlike the other teams in Baseball who actually play for the team.

I definitely agree with that. The Yankees payroll is completely ridiculous. I hate the Rays, but they're a good team and their entire payroll is less than A-Rod's salary.

But anyway, I can't wait until April so I can be back at Fenway cheering on my Red Sox

 

[SplashMT.43]

Shouldn't they be called the NY Citi Bankees
Let's go Phillies

The Red Sox fan base has grown A LOT over the past decade. Winning seems to do that...
But to say it's bigger than the Yankees? Go to a game in Anaheim. Or Chicago. Or anywhere else for that matter. There are Yankee fans everywhere. The Yankees are baseball's equivalent of the Dallas Cowboys. Yes, there is Red Sox nation, but the Yankees own the world.

actually, the sox fan base has been huge for a very, very long time. i can remember the 80s and early 90s when yankee stadium was barely at 40% capacity. whats a fact, the yankees have the #1 selling team merchandise. to try and guess who has more fans... only a fool would try.

but the red sox have sold more memberships in their fan club than the yanks, go figure.

yankees own the world? thats just embarrasing to write.

 

[2infinityandbeyond]

There are Yankee fans everywhere.

Everywhere but the seats in Yankee Stadium after the 7th inning last night.

Way to support your team by packing it in early, Yanks fans.

Thank you!

The Red Sox fans are very loyal all the time. Not just when they're winning. The Sox just weren't playing well the second half of the year, but still there were no empty seats in Fenway. All those years without winning the World Series, the fans were still there cheering them on. Red Sox fans are the best

I live an hour from Baltimore. I've been a DIE HARD (which means I must have a lot of lives) fan since the early 70's. I can also say I've been to Fenway in the early 80's when there were 12,000 people there and there were very few Sox fans at Memorial Stadium in Baltimore. Today, it's the complete opposite. 40,000 at Camden Yards probably includes 25,000 dressed in Red. You can say what you want, but as a former season ticket holder for the O's, all those Red Sox fans weren't around 20 years ago. And they weren't selling out Fenway, either. And neither were the Yankees in the Bronx. Winners sell, losing doesn't. Go to an O's game these days against a team like Kansas City. It's sad. But who can blame the fans afer all the years of being the bottom feeders? I guarentee if the Red Sox finish at or near the bottom for 12 straight years, the sell out streak at Fenway will be a distant memory.

Edited to say I checked Baseball America's attendance figures from the 80's. There were a ton of empty seats to be had at Fenway. In fact, from 1980 through 1985, never did the Sox average 25,000 in any of those seasons.
