they also paid enough to get cc sabathia teix, arod, damon... all of whom were instrumental in their 09 run (even Burnett chipped in 3 war)
...and note the difference: Bernie / Jeter won about five World Series-es in six years. CC and Arod won '09. I've been a Nats fan since '52 or '53. I'm greedy. Ernie Banks used to say, "Hey, let's play two". I say, "Hey, let's win three championships in a row".
