BuckStocksHere: "It would be nice to know that instead of trying to compete with a 160million(pure guess?) payroll versus our 25 mil., we could maybe have a hard cap around 70 or so."
Actually, the exact total is $191 million. The main problem with baseball is that there's no revenue sharing. Steinbrenner makes $250 million off the YES Network alone, and that's not counting tickets, shirts, etc.
And even if the Players did agree to it, a cap would never work without revenue sharing. You can't force the Milwaukee Brewers and Kansas City Royals to spend $70 million on payroll when they're not making that much.
Nation: "careful mud....some people (SLOOPY) are a little too sensitive about posting pictures of their team and how much they do or dont suck."
Are you a child? How old are you?? At least come up with something creative or insulting before you post this crap. Otherwise, we have 100 Nation posts crying, "Sloopy, Sloopy, Sloopy!!" If you could be a little more creative, maybe then you'd have a little more T-Shirt revenue coming in.
zinc: "I was simplifying a little bit, but I didn't remember the final standings as having been consistently that bad. Blocking out the bad memories, maybe."
Yep. The Yanks were very bad in those days. From 1989 to 1992, the Yanks were 288-359 (.445).
