They publish this in print as well. I bought it last year. Great read.

I'd be pissed if I were a Marlins fan.

This makes RSN's [and the rest of baseball combined] argument about payroll disparity less valid. The Yankees were the only team to run at a loss. If the Red Sox broke even, they could have spent an extra 20+ million this year.

As always...the CHOICE is there. Not the DESIRE to WIN.

The article is missing something that gives the Yankees a massive financial advantage.

I wonder what it is?

Are you being sarcastic or serious?

NESN is not a Red Sox exclusive, shitface. And if you're comparing NESN to YES, you're obviously either as biased as Jacko, or a complete idiot.

The local media markets due give a significant revenue advantage over the rest of the league. That's why all these teams are trying to create their own channels now.

YES is a behemoth that could be rivaled by no one though.

Dumbass....both teams make money off their networks they don't claim. I didn't say which one owned a larger share, or how much money they make.

Considering how you debate things here, have you ever won a case in your life? I'm not a lawyer, and I own you. Just goes to show that the only thing dumber than a dumb Arab is a smart Dominican.

Lol Gom stupidity.

YES is a behemoth that makes the Yankees an obscene amount of money. The "bu-bu-bu-but they lose money" argument is asinine.

The only thing you own is your cab.
