Maybe. Or maybe it's because they're paid more than any other sports team and can afford to pay prospective players more than others can; so where do all the great players go?
That said, I don't really care. I'm not a baseball fan, and that's just the free market at work. I now expect a long debate over the evils of capitalism where (once again) we reach no conclusion and all just end up realizing how stupid everyone else on this forum is. Idiots.

I don't care about the money, I just hate them with all my being. I know this is irrational but sports is the one area where I can justify the fun of being irrational. Every sports fan on here should understand.

what other words are filtered out other that "farm a see"? i don't see why the hell that is filtered and my pals and cunt arent. what the fuck man.
I actually despise Boston, and feel no compulsion to care about it's sports teams.
This has always struck me as some of the most asinine logic I've ever encountered. "They're not the better team, they just have better players because they pay them more." And having the better players makes them a better team. Are you arguing that a team like the red sox is better because it embodies the kvlt underdog spirit of not having enough money to have good players?

Stop applying logic to something which has none. Is it logical to like the bands you like? Is it logical to hate the bands you hate?
Also stop being a traitor. Boston rulez.
Bands don't compete; there's no objective measure of a band's quality; this is a terrible analogy; I'm using a lot of semi-colons. That said, the Red Sox/Yankees thing is inherently retarded, yes. And Boston is a fucking pimple on the face of humanity.

The Yankees payroll obviously has a lot to do with their (modern) success, but they haven't always had exponentially more money to burn than everyone else, and they won an awful lot of championships during that time period. Many players actually come to the Yankees and take lower pay just because they want to play for the Yankees as well, for example Mark Teixeira. Sure, they have the highest payroll, but they also have the classiest and most well organized front office that gets things done. They have the highest payroll because they win so fucking much, and they win so fucking much now because they have the highest payroll. ENDLESS CIRCLE OF DEATH.

I agree. I don't know why I like my favorite teams in reality. Just because. It's the only time I see a negro and root for him. Otherwise I'm typically chasing them to get my bike back.

I didn't see this before. I disagree with this, but I think we've already talked about it before. There can be (but doesn't have to be) logic behind why you root for the teams you root for, and I think it's even more clear that there can be logic behind why you listen to the bands you listen to.

Who cares.
This.
Though my hatred for arsenal is pretty rational when you consider the history.

I'd just like to say I wasn't making a slur against Romanians in what I was saying earlier. I very much admire some of them. It was just a silly example.
