Hey, if the Yanks are overrated, what does that make the Sox? I don't think they're overrated, I think they are playing like crap right now. But the talent is there.

Playing like crap now? Huh?
Hitting lots of bunkers? And how would you know?
I agree that a payroll cannot always buy a world series championship since luck has a lot to do with it. However, this doesn't mean that it's OK and good for baseball (IMO) to have a $160-$180 million payroll.
Basically a big payroll like the Yankees ($60 million more than the next team) would make it almost guaranteed to make the playoffs every year. They're buying their dynasty. A small market team can win the World Series, but I don't think they'll really get a dynasty, unless under special circumstances.
Edit: And I'm not a Boston fan, even though my profile says I'm from there.

Bwahahahaha.
"Trailing 3-2 in the World Series to the Marlins? A second baseman playing right field? No reliable middle relief? Aren't these clear examples that the Yankees didn't nearly spend enough money last winter?
...I know everyone is still disappointed about the Cubs and the Red Sox falling short of the World Series, but admit it. Seeing tightwad George's expression while he watches another team celebrate on the mound at Yankee Stadium would almost make up for it."
Dam right. Cashman, send out your resume NOW. Your team is old, fat and out of shape, overpaid, and overrated. Luck can only get you so far.

Luck? Developing your own players is not all luck... Everyone knows the Yankees are in trouble if they keep spending money and trading away their farm system. And lets say the Yankees do in fact lose and George cleans house. Chances are he will definitely reduce payroll the question is by how much?

I'm willing to bet he'll spend the same amount, or even more next year. Or if he reduces payroll like you said, it'll be more than Boston. There's no way he'll be outspent by Boston, the craziness in his DNA just won't allow it. He'll sell off his family and all of his assets/investments/mutual funds before he lets his rival spend more. I guess that's the one thing that u have to give him credit for, he's probably NY's #1 fan, money talks, BS walks.

Im willing to bet the payroll next year will be lower. I honestly dont think it could be any more than $180 million.

I think their payroll will be about the same - $160 million. I think people get the $180 million by the average of the contracts?
I can't even imagine what the Yankees payroll will be in 2005, 2006. They already have what, $80-$100 million committed? Or in other words, they could not even sign any free agents from now to 2006 and still probably have a higher payroll than a team like the Marlins in 2006.
