In response to "you joke, but it's a possibility." by Reagen

I really think the Red Sox and Yankees can't maintain their current paces without a stumble in the next couple of years.

Hell, the Sox might actually be beginning their setback this season. (Though I expect them to come back from this early woes this year.)

Responses:

The Sox might not, but the Yankees can. Cashman now has control of the ship, and his pockets are *deep*. (nm) - musubi Apr 20, 08:58 1
- Yeah, they missed the playoffs once and he went out and spent 440mil on the best pitcher and hitter - Will Hunting Apr 20, 09:01
Until you get a system where they can't just buy the top 3 free agents (ala New York last year), they shouldn't ever go more than 1 year stumbles - Will Hunting Apr 20, 08:50 8
- I'm one of the biggest opponents of a salary cap (in theory), but I see it looming on the horizon. - musubi Apr 20, 09:00 4
  - I'm all for it given the nature of the disparities you see in the AL East - Will Hunting Apr 20, 09:05 3
    - I'd much rather see a form of the Larry Bird Exemption in baseball though - Will Hunting Apr 20, 09:09 2
      - I like it in theory, but I don't like the way it's been abused in the NBA for sign and trades. Rules need to be implemented to fix that. (nm) - musubi Apr 20, 09:11 1
        
        Yeah, modify as necessary. -- nm - Will Hunting Apr 20, 09:12
- Yup. Too much money to buy young talent and established stars. - Krusty Apr 20, 08:57
- Riccardi screwed the Jays for about three years to come. -- nm - Reagen Apr 20, 08:56 1
  - Screw that asshat. -- nm - Shaun Apr 20, 08:59
