The team has a lot of holes to fill and don't want to pay to do it properly....pretty pathetic.

The stadium is packed in the 7th inning of most games. Most of us take the train or subway for a few bucks. You have a funny way to describe failure. We are good enough to win 90+ games per year, make it into the playoffs and then fall short. A few younger guys will take us over the top? Who are they? How would you do that? Yes, we have some bloated contracts, but we are stuck with them. Get over it. I believe in Cash.

Bring a water and some nuts from home. There I saved you $14.

They will only have a certain amount to spend now because of the luxury tax issue. Here is an idea, why don't you try putting a team together of actual ball players instead of glorified superstars. Maybe then fans wouldn't have to pay $45.00 to park, $10.00 for a beer & $4.00 for popcorn. They wonder why the stadium was basically empty in the 7th inning for their home games. You have corporate people who were just given tix as a gift rather than the true fans that made the old stadium great. The fact that the Yankees have made the playoffs 14 out of 15 years is ridiculously impressive but the end result is winning championships. Their failures in the last 10 years proves the plan to just spend more than everyone else doesn't work. Take the Giants model and the Cardinals model and develop young pitching.
