However, they did it in a fashion that denotes buying a lot more then the Yankees did in 96, 98, 99 and 00. So, the only difference is the Yankees spent a ton more this season then the Sox did, so that doesn't mean this team isn't "bought"? I don't quite understand that logic.
And yeah, I'm a Yankee defender. I just like to think I do it logically
It just rubs me wrong to think that people try to belittle what the Yankees did in the late 90s by saying it was nothing more then money. It wasn't .. not even by a long shot. I still say the 2002 Angels remind me a LOT of the 1996 Yanks. No all-stars. Just a group of guys playing very well together.
