This thread was started by one guy hoping to get the exact reaction he got. Did you really think people wouldn't respond?

What's wrong with spending money to acquire free agents to try to win championships? If an owner is willing to do that, and it's within the rules, is he supposed to say, nah, I'd rather be like the Brewers??

As a Braves fan, I am more than pleased to see anyone take their turn as 'Looserville'- even though there's a book coming out next year on Atlanta's turn.

We sat through some terrible teams -especially right before Bobby Cox came back to stay.


The falcons still belong down there.



I'm sure Cleveland doesn't mind NY taking some of the 'guff' for a while either.


Off the subject, I wish there was a way for both the White Sox AND the Asstrolls could loose their current series.

Nobody said they couldn't spend. Packs said they didn't win because of the boatload of money they DID lay out for AROD, Matsuey, Sabbathia, Tex, and AJ.

See NYers like to think they win like everyone else, but they don't because they can't win on their own, they MUST OVERSPEND to buy a title.


There is ZERO jealousy, I'd be jealous if their sports teams were all like the '27 Yankees, yes, then I'd be jealous for sure, but the past 20 years? Be jealous of what METS have been garbage, Knicks garbage, Jets trash, etc etc.

That's that NY arrogance they think we are jealous, ha ha....we are just enjoying how bad they suck!

It seems hard to deny that it played an important role.

...and arn't the Mets (3rd Highest Payroll and not even a .500 team over the past 5 seasons) still paying Bobby Bonilla who retired like 20 years ago.

I mean come on. The stupidity of NY, it never ends. It's hilarious!

The Mets can rot forever as payback for 1986 lol. Despite being a Sox fan though I've never truly hated the Yankees, too many admirable players.

They are called deferred contracts, a lot of teams do it, the Braves are still paying Bruce Sutter. I guess Atlanta is stupid too?
