Just like clockwork. I don't know why years of history wasn't enough for people to not get that we weren't going to have a $80 million payroll in 2006, but thanks to Jerry and company for once again putting all of the profits back into the team, and making it possible to keep Pauly, and bring in guys like Thome, Vazquez.
April 21, 200620 yr I guess I find it hard to thank a billionare for putting his profits back into the team.
April 21, 200620 yr I cant believe that the Defending champs in the third largest market is basically in the bottom third of value.

April 21, 200620 yr as an aside, artie moreno stole the anaheim angels... he bought them three years ago for 183 million...

April 21, 200620 yr I am thinking the Sox franchise may be affordable to me and a partner. I have a call into my good friend Donald Trumpet.

I also don't make a penny off of any of my stocks, nor do I make a penny off of my house, but they have increased in value. You can be making money without taking any income. So I wouldn't hold a beg-a-thon for them. By reinvesting in their business, the business has grown in value. Who knows how they have used that equity. What this does show, is they are being as fair to the fans as anyone can expect them to be. Not only are they reinvesting any profits, they have avoided huge payroll mistakes.
