I was down in Wrigleyville on Friday night (at Goose Island) and poured out with the crowd down to Clark and Addison. Definitely a fun night.
Going to the NLDS game on Saturday. Anyone else going?

Next year, of course after they win WS, could be very differnt.
They found, when they needed it the most, that they had some rather good, young players already on board.

I give you credit where credit is due. Often, it is the under-paid young guns who really make the team a success.
I was reading today that the Yankees combined salaries are 3 times of the Indians (Cleveland has the 2nd lowest salary total in the AL). The Yankees have 10 players receiving $10million + per year, with 3 over $20 mm. The Indians highest paid player is CC making $8.75 mm per year. The Padres only have one player at $10mm.
I hate to see Steinbrenner buy his team that way. I think he is still mad that he couldn't buy the Indians back in the 70s. Greed typically isn't a trait of Cleveland natives.

I guess you have not read the papers this year-Boss George is not running the team.
And the Yanks have the money to spend any way that they wish to.
Just between merchandise and YES=$$$$$$
Add in new stadium.....
Sports (most sports) have not been pure sports in years. More like entertainment+business+sport=money.
We could start a whole thread on this but lets try to keep this thread "pure" to OP's starting point.
