“Lots of people left 2016 feeling hurt about polling, or confused about what it is and what went wrong, and why it could be wrong,” -- (link) - Strongbad Oct 19, 05:43 10
- I mean, accountability is good, but people seem to want more from pollsters than they do from politicians. - Reagen Oct 19, 05:50 9

  - Where's all the hate for the big spending, big market team? Or was the Yankees hate about something other than the money being spent? -- nm - Krusty Oct 19, 05:39 34
    - It's boring year after year after year to get mad about teams spending stupid amounts of money in a league without a salary cap. -- nm* - Shaun Oct 19, 06:37 3
      - until the rules change, you either spend or you don't. - groiny Oct 19, 06:44 2
        
        For sure. I wasn't a huge Boston hater until that time they paid 51M to talk to Dice K. - Shaun Oct 19, 06:49 1
        
        that was money well spent. -- nm - groiny Oct 19, 06:50
    - You don't see Red Sox hate for being a Yankees clone? You're just not paying attention. - Inigo Oct 19, 05:46 7
      - My reaction has been more apathy about baseball in general. -- nm - Reagen Oct 19, 05:52
      - I don't see it much if at all and nowhere near the vitriol that people have/had when the Yankees were winning. - Krusty Oct 19, 05:51 5
        
        You're probably not seeing it nearly as much because you're team isn't the center of the criticism. -- (edited) - Inigo Oct 19, 05:54 4
        
        It used to be discussed on ESPN, in the sports pages, on this site and everywhere. Not so with the Red Sox, Giants and Dodgers. I don't see any - Krusty Oct 19, 06:01 3
        
        [deleted]
        
        Anecdotally, I've seen a lot of hate for the Dodgers about this. -- nm - Reagen Oct 19, 06:03 1

      - People were excited when they won that ‘first’ one back in the ‘90s, but there was also a good stretch where they were like 30-50% higher than the #2. - mafic Oct 19, 06:29 7
        
        [deleted] 6
        
        Looking it up, they were 3rd in 1994, 1st in 1995. But it's relative - Reagen Oct 19, 06:50 1
        
        (it's back down to 17th) -- nm - Reagen Oct 19, 06:51
        
        Pretty sure they were #1 in ‘96, and possibly ‘98. For me I noticed payroll the griping getting bad when the spread got insane. -- nm - mafic Oct 19, 06:48 3
        
        So quick check says #1 every year 1995 to 2013 except 1998, and 2001 was basically a tie. - mafic Oct 19, 07:00
        
        [deleted]
        
        They were #1 in 1996 but only by $4 million over the Orioles. But the O's were #1 in 1998. -- nm* - Krusty Oct 19, 06:57
      - The only sports franchise that's easier to hate than the Yankees is the Dallas Cowboys. -- nm - Strongbad Oct 19, 05:58

        I thought my ellipses were clear! - Reagen Oct 19, 06:41 3
        
        Clearly, you don't hate Boston enough!!! Speaking of Boston...OILERS! -- nm* - Shaun Oct 19, 06:42 2
        
        Yamamoto's snipe was sick. -- nm - Reagen Oct 19, 06:44 1
        
        Ok I'll go watch the highlights. -- nm - Shaun Oct 19, 06:47
        
        It's okay for people to admit all that hate was about jealousy and not money. -- nm - Krusty Oct 19, 05:45 3
        
        [deleted]
        
        People hate winners. -- nm - Strongbad Oct 19, 06:02 1
        
        partly yes. It is more about the how they are winning. - groiny Oct 19, 06:49
  - Absolutely. Highest payroll in the AL paying dividends. -- nm - CQ Oct 19, 05:10 3
    - [deleted] 2
