...Dodgers also will unload the other half of their alltime season homerun slugger duo in Shawn Green (those dickheads get rid of him and 48 hr hitting Beltre on the SAME DAY), as he goes to Dbacks...
...I think the Yanks are about 4 months late with this trade. They couldve certainly pulled this off during the season....

The Yankees, the best team money can buy. MLB is a monopoly that puts restrictions on teams with salary caps and then allows exceptions if the league gets paid. The teams with the larger media market share get paid more and can buy the better players.

I have to laugh when teams like Florida and Minnesota win the WS. Kind of makes the league into a joke.

I agree. The Yankees make it so easy to hate them. They overpaid for Pavano, and we will see how the Unit does back in the league that hits alot better then the NL. I honestly dont know why fans in some cities even go to the games, when there team has 1/4 the payroll of NY, with no chance to win. How can you be a TB fan, knowing the Yanks, Red Sox, and Baltimore will always outspend you, by huge margins. Obviously money doesnt always win out, but if by chance your team has that fluke year and succeeds, you know you have no chance of retaining those players in the long run, you are just a feeder system for the top spending teams.

Thats why the NFL is so huge, everyone has hope at the start, for the most part. Oh, and gambling might play a small role in the popularity as well :)
