Cleveland Indians and San Diego battle for best team money can buy

Seriously, the Yankees spending $190mm on salary? How can anyone be a Yankees fan? After someone explains to me why a World Series was cancelled yet the salary differential is still extremely large (did I mention the Yankees have $45mm more in salary than the BoSox who is another  $28mm above the 3rd team), then you can rationalize why the NL Central has 6 teams in the division and the AL West only has 4 teams. But if push came to shove and I only had $25 million to spend, I would take the Tampa Bay "Dont call me Devil" Rays in a one game playoff against A-Rod. I know of only one time that a 1 player team beat a 9 player one. To paraphrase Lloyd Bensen, "I have met Bugs Bunny, and you, A-Rod, you are no Bugs Bunny"
