Was that an intentional walk? You can't tell with Rodriguez?

You're not including a lot of additional Yankees wealth that is excluded from their total - primarily their TV network. Nats with their piddling little MASN stake get practically nothing from MASN residual profits, while the Yankees owners rake a couple hundred $m above what you've quoted as team revenues, which only include the rights fee.

Yes. Agreed. The Yankees made a lotg even back before YES. they had a big deal with one of the cable networks, so big that people complained in 1990 or so that Steinbrenner was not trying to win...he made such a large profit from the TV deal.

(The MASN deal seems pathetic...)

Nats have the same market as the Redskins. Yankees have the same as the Giants. Lerners have to remember that. Spend accordingly...win and you make money.

Has the NFL done away with its salary cap? If not, there is no comparison whatsoever.

Phillies have a scout sitting right behind home plate?

Is this DCab "tired of watching him pitch" territory or more Stammen-esque?

DJ's trying but FP doesn't know how to take good-natured ribbing.

And the Lerners are, far and away, the wealthiest owners in major league baseball, which trumps all of that.

We've been through all this before. They don't own 100% of the team, so what is the mechanism for them pumping more money into the team? Are they supposed to sign a player to a personal services contract (say, Janitor) with Lerner Enterprises and then lease him to the club?

People treat the club as being equal and the same with the Lerners' personal fortunes, which it is not.

There's a substantial difference in mental acuity here.

I thought it would be hard for the Nats to equal the horribleness that was this game threads original post. But they've exceeded it.

Well yes, that too. Jaegler is a professional broadcaster. FP is a former player.

The Skins were wealthy before the cap. In fact, Art Rooney insisted on the cap because he assumed that JK Cooke would buy up all the players. That's what Cooke did under Plan B free agency, which allowed a team to protect about 30 players. The Skins gathered up all the best reserves, guys like Mark Addickes and Jumpy Geathers, and that gave them the power to overwhelm the league in the SB 26 season.

The Lerners could be Cooke without a salary cap.

(As best I remember, the first yhear cap was about $64 million; the Skins were up around $80 million. That's why they lost Gary Clark immediately.)

Something about this game makes me more angry than I've been since watching an Elijah Dukes Nats team at Shea. About as bad as 1961, when the Nats had nobody, or 1956. (In 1957 - 1960, Roy Sievers, Jim Lemon, then Harmon Killebrew and Bob Allison were all likely to hit HRs...there was always that chance.)

I apologize for being snippish. Tom T, you're a brother PG County kid, didn't intend to argue so harshly. I think I'll go watch my tape of SB22, second quarter or something. Or remind myself that when I played I left all that adreneline intensity on the field. When the game's over, it's done.

Lannan looks as sad as any major leaguer I've ever seen in the postgame interview.
