December 4, 200520 yr Can't say anyone's going to feel sorry for them at all; The Yankees lost between $50 million and $85 million for the 2005 season, according to a Daily News report. In addition to their $200 million+ payroll, the Yankees poured almost $110 million into revenue sharing and luxury tax last season.

If any collectors show up at the Yankees' door, they can just send him out to spear them, pick them up, slam them down, and bust their noses.
