The Yankee Franchise is a great example of what an unlimited budget can achieve. But there are limits to big spending all around us. Sometimes one can't spend one's way out of bad situations. Ask Uncle Sam what he's trying to do with the economy. Ask Bloomberg if he thinks big spending alone without the right economic fundamentals will achieve anything.
Ask the honest Yankee fans if big spending of the last few years alone is going to make that a 27.
I'd rather watch a team with talent and decent wages go all the way and surprise me than watch a bunch of overhyped, overpaid, overrated players with an owner to match coming up short.

Yankees and I'm old enough to remember when Mel Hall, Roberto Kelly, Jesse Barfield comprised the outfield.

However, I think the Mets are going to be a good team in the future. Is this going to be the 80's again?
