BOSOX/Rockies Payrolls.....

Looking at the information below... What is the better accomplishment.... The Red Sox winning the World Series or the Rockies making it to the world series? No brainer there.

The Red Sox have 12 players making over $5 million while the Rockies have 1...Their payroll is nearly 3 times the Rockies.... What a joke MLB is becoming. The RedSox and Yankees should win the World Series every year!!! From now on MLB should have a World Series between the Yankees and RedSox every year, then a World Series for all of the other clubs...
