He's just mad that now he gets a 2nd round pick instead of a 1st round pick.

You are leaving because you are a Yankee fan, and you don't have a decent argument for why baseball should be the only league that should continue to operate without a salary cap.Originally Posted by ooIRON MANoo
Man I'm leaving this thread before I starting getting angry
Please.
You don't stand a chance.
I'll spare you.
Please, I'm waiting. You are on the wrong playing field.

Oh my gosh, there is so much twisted logic in here, it's ridiculous (and expected).
#1. Say the Brewers sign Teix. Does that make them better than before? Sure, a little; he's good. And... say CC doesn't stay with the Brewers (becausethey can't afford him; more on that in a second), so he goes somewhere else. We'll say... the Royals. Does that make them better than they were before?Sure, a little; he's good. But more important than the Brewers and Royals being a little better by picking up Teix and CC is the fact that EVERY team had achance, knowing that if they threw major dollars at one of them, that would most likely be the ONLY major signing they would be able to afford; the twowouldn't go to one team, a team already carrying some OTHER heavy contracts without consequence.
#2. There's not a Yankee fan out there that would be perfectly fine with the Red Sox picking up Pujols, K-Rod, Manny, A-Rod, and CC while keeping Beckett,Pedroia, Youkilis, etc.
If you even think about saying you'd be perfectly fine with that, you are lying just to keep consistent with your argument.
#3. Having rules is not freaking communist, kiddies.

I think some of y'all Yankee fans need to chill. I don't think anyone is blaming or hating on the Yankees, and if they are, there stupid. The Yankeeshave the right to spend all the money they want, because that is the playing field in baseball. If there is no cap, then you have the right to outbid everyone.BUT I BLAME baseball for this. IMO they definitely need a cap to even out the playing fields. It isn't fair that a team can have a payroll over $200million. I mean, A-ROD made more than the ENTIRE Florida Marlins team.
That is ridiculous. I think a salary cap would make the sport much more competitiveand evened out. Plus, I'm an A's fan

Y'all are probably right, the MLB does need a cap. Parity has gone by the wayside.
But as long as it keeps benefiting my team, I'll keep arguing against one.
Just had to keep it real there.

I would like to also echo all the sentiments of you guys. Logic is way more thought out, the points are very well put together and presented.

My quick take....
I wouldn't care if there was a salary cap, but think about the players....they would hate this...if there was a damn salary cap then the players would notnearly have the contracts they have now....Obviously some of it is the Yankees fault for overpaying, but if there is a salary cap half of these players wouldbe getting way less money.

that's not necessarily true...you just wouldn't have 3 of the 5 highest paid players on the same team.

Typical lame response from a Yankees fan. It's obvious you completely missed the point of my response. Keep spending money like it's going out of styleand get used to other teams hoisting up the trophy in October while you're at home salty.

Some of you just DON'T get it.
Yall are the worst fans on this forum at times, worse than Laker fans, Cowboys fans, etc.
Same people on here saying others are crying were the first people to blame a loss on bugs

And why are you acting like no Yankees fan... no Yankees fan on NT... was salty, mad, and whining over the bugs?Why are you even trying to insult our memories like that? Heck yeah some ofyour Yankee faithful were whining over bugs.

Yeah, I whined about the buigs too, because they obviously effected Joba negatively. When an outside factor hurts us, it bothers me. Especially in the playoffswhen Andy pitched a gem.
But I don't blame that loss on the bugs. We should have scored more than 1 run.
I highly doubt that if your guy was pitching great, then once he was swarmed by bugs he threw wild pitches all overe the place, it wouldn't bother youat all. So please spare me.
Man, I swore I'd never get into this debate again.
