I thought they actually played games. Maybe I am wrong. Do they just hand out championships based on payroll now?

^^^ By far and away, the lamest and most common response given by Yankees fans when confronted with the corrupt nature of the Yankees financial relationship with major league baseball.

By far and away, the lamest and most common response given by fans of small market teams.  The Yankees don't have any financial RELATIONSHIP with MLB.  The SYSTEM allows them to do what they do.  If they're willing to pay the luxury tax that lines the pocket of the owners of small market teams, so be it.  Until the system is changed, this is how it's going to be.  Get used to it.

So fuck the small market teams? We should jump on the bandwagons of bigger teams?

I didn't say that.  Read my post above.  Anyone who hates on the Yankees or other big spending teams should be hating on the system that allows those teams to spend big.   Small market teams can and will win a World Series (2003 Marlins).

Didn't you hear about how MLB forced the Marlins to give the Yankees the championship in 2003 because the Yankees had a higher payroll?

All Yankee haters are even bigger jaggoffs. Hating on a team for playing by the rules is retarded and pathetic and shows what sore losers you are.

No, you just should stop watching baseball all together. Apparently your team has no chance, so why watch, right?

Ignorance isn't bliss...it's still ignorance. The Yankees control "the system" and will not allow any changes to "the system" because the system is set up to give them a competitive advantage. Until Yankees fans recognize this reality, arguing with them (to borrow my own quote from elsewhere) is like explaining to a child with ADD why they can't keep a candy bar they shoplifted at the store...you simply aren't equipped to "get it."

A hard salary cap is the only way to make the game of baseball fair to all teams. Period...end of story.

No team has any control over the system.  The system was agreed upon by the owners and the Players Union.  The Players Union will never go for a salary cap, although I do agree that a hard cap is the only way.

Don't get so butthurt about the whole thing D_B.  I don't hate the Yankees because they do or don't play by the rules.  I hate the Yankees because they're the Yankees, and their fans are a bunch of jaggoffs.

My team has the second most titles to the Yanks, and until a few days ago had won as many titles as the Yanks this decade

The Yankees, specifically, have threatened legal action in opposition to a salary cap, when proposed by ownership of the Red Sox and Brewers.

If you weren't a fan of the Yankees, you wouldn't feel this way -- stop lying to yourself.  The Yankees are completely unethical.  They're doing the equivalent of slash and burn.  It's not healthy for a league when one team wins the championship a quarter of the time and consistently outspends the competition by miles.

It is ruining the league.

Nothing is just the way it is.

I don't remember this happening.  Have any news article links?

I'm not up for doing homework for lazy Yankees fans... Google "Yankees threaten legal action over salary cap" and I'm sure you can find the truth that you appear to be conveniently forgetting.
