Yankees only team to pay luxury tax for 2009

NEW YORK - Winning came with a hefty price for the New York Yankees.

The World Series champions were hit with a luxury tax of nearly $25.69 million Monday, the penalty for once again crossing the payroll threshold in baseball’s collective bargaining agreement.

New York is the only team to pay a tax for this season and has crossed the threshold in all seven years since the tax started. It must send a check to the commissioner’s office by Jan. 31....

1. You know why they cross that threshold, don't you?

2. That's all? What the Fuck?

They outspend the nearest club by nearly $100million and that's all?

No wonder baseball has been ruined.

And Selig is concerned that a game may be three minutes too long.

They are all douchebags.

3. Yup, that's nothing to the Steinbrenners.

Just like the fucking insurance company and pharmaceutical lobby in Washington.

Dave in MD and Yavin4 what do you have to say?

4. They'll just say we are Haters. Mightly simplistic, but what can you expect.

Ironic that we are pointing out the disparities in MLB, and all they can do is spew their hatred of the Dallas Cowboys.

Sad, just very sad.

5. And they'll also say "27".

It's almost Pavlovian in its predictablity.

6. What the fuck is going on in FedEx. That was a bizarre play to end the first half.

:wtf:
