Re: The Business of Baseball
They publish this in print as well. I bought it last year. Great read.
I'd be pissed if I were a Marlins fan.

Re: The Business of Baseball
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.

Re: The Business of Baseball
The article is missing something that gives the Yankees a massive financial advantage.
I wonder what it is?

Are you being sarcastic or serious?

YES Network, dumbass. Just like the Red Sox have NESN. Both teams make money hand over foot. Don't kid yourself.

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.
