The Yankees have consistently been better than the Red Sox for the past 20 years and better than everyone else during that time I would say their method has worked just fine.

The Red Sox could have had more than 2 titles if they had been willing to spend some of their outrageous profit but instead they hoard their money and miss out on the play-offs.

Cool. Thing is NESV has owned the team for 6 years. I don't care about the 14 before that.

You don't understand that times are changing. I mean colour TVs worked very well for many years, but you know those HD TVs are just that much better.

Progression has been made in the world of baseball, and records indicate this. But please, I have a colour TV in my basement, you're more than welcome to take it since you're into what was good 20 years ago.

Oh really, you say that as a fact? 2 more titles? Wow buddy, didn't know you could just make this up as you went.

I am sure they do.

Was just in NY the last few days, can tell you they aren't. Wrong again.

I keep spitting out repetitive garbage because you ignore it and come back with garbage that doesn't even matter.

Just because something uses math and stats doesn't mean it is cutting edge. It is so cutting edge that over the past 3 years the Red Sox have failed to win a play-off series. I am shocked teams aren't lining up to follow their "cutting edge" lead.

The fact is that the Red Sox have the ability to spend and compete with the Yankees. The make far more than anyone else and should not miss out on free agents because they are too cheap. They have tried this new stupid defense and speed method the past two seasons and it has been a disaster. They have lost out on free agents because they were cheap not because they couldn't afford them.

No, you just say they should spend more in Teixeira because he's a big name. I show you that Youkillis outperformed him before and after the contract he received and you still spit out the same message.

I showed you the other 4 $100m pitchers, and you still think it's smart to give 7 years and $160m to a 30 year old pitcher who ways 300 pounds, as well as 82.5m to a pitcher who was being booed by Blue Jay fans minus his contract year where he had one good strikeout season compared to the same contract given to a much safer and better performing pitcher at the same price. But hey, if you enjoy having that $82.5m man almost not being included in the playoff roster than I guess Burnett is the right man for you.

Maybe you prefer what worked 20 years ago, and spending 200m for 1 WS ring, compared to 2 WS rings at 2/3rds the cost.

Yeah, they've tried this new stupid method and won 2 titles. The Yankees have tried their old method and won 1. Yet, the genius you are can't deduce 2>1.

You keep talking about cheapness, it isn't and the sooner you understand this the better. It's value. It's like one man tipping a good waiter 20% and another tipping an average waiter 30% and the other man calling the other one cheap. One is spending wisely and tipping fairly, and the other may as well be flushing it down the toilet.

be excited all you want about them coming in as white knights but not spending enough, being happy finishing out of the top teams and odd personel decisions sure sound a lot like the complaints that fans had of the old regime.

OK buddy. The debt is cleared, and a new stadium or revamped Anfield is on the way, that's all we really asked for and we've got it. I've said I've been cautiously optimistic the whole time.

You really don't understand what Hicks and Gillett did do you. The first thing they said was that this wasn't a Glazer type deal. It was. The 2nd thing they said was spade in the ground within 60 days. There wasn't and still isn't. The next thing they said is that they'd respect the fans and their traditions, a boardmember and son of Hicks told a supporter to "blow me face" they repeatedly promised big summer after big summer. We spent an average of 3.5MP per YEAR under them. They said they would not go behind Rafa's back. They did with an inferior manager. They made no effort to connect with SOS(supporters union) HJC(Hillsborough Justice Campaign) or even being out in the community.

Yet you still have the audacity to say we'll hear a lot of the same complaints. It's truly sad what you've actually posted and how deluded and straight up wrong about many points.
