Yes. The ridiculous economics of baseball are one of the reasons why I lost my love for the game. There's others, also, but it's hard to root for a team where the thumb is so massively on the scales.
Sox fans complain about the Yankees' payroll, but seriously, look in the mirror.
Baseball is the most absurdly unfair major sport in America, IMHO.
My comment was more that this seems more like a "lightning in a bottle" year than a "wow, we have a ton of talent and should clearly compete for years to come" kind of team.
