They win 90+ games every season, 2 titles in the past few years, and always have one of the highest payrolls in MLB...especially this season. The problem with Red Sox fans is they have this delusion that their team is the representation of blue collar America. Boston doesn’t put out a second rate product.

It's not Yankees fan's fault that their ownership actually puts money back into their team. It's not the Yankees fault that Red Sox ownership provides a second rate, on field, product.

And losing to the Rays the next year was an embarrassing failure given the payrolls? good. $30mm really can’t buy you anything anyway, right?….the difference last year was only $60-$70mm, that will only get you a bag of balls,right?
