Ok, so i was off, but baseball is still a business. It's not little league. The Pittsburgh Penguins are a NHL Hockey team, you won't find them in that link. The Pittsburgh Pirates are a MLB team.

Either way the "money comment" is as overused as madonna and kate hudson combined. So the Yankees are a profitable team, they should be held at fault because of it?

It's just a petty comment, I'm a fan of the team and the players, and what they do on the field, I may not like the red sox, but i'm not going to say "ooo the red sox paid this amount for this player or that amount for that player." Also most of the rings/championships which the Yankees have won didn't have anything to do with high salaries, so that comment is flawed anyways.

Anyways, no need to draw this out, I'm off to the parade, at least for a little bit, because to tell you the truth most of the people I saw going to the parade are the types of people I tend to stay away from on St. Patrick's Day, and New Years eve, but I am going otu to support the Yankees.
