I hated it when Lasorda turned to the girl behind him for some help,
only to hear her say "I'm from New York". Another media entity which
doesn't seem to understand how much many parts of this city HATE the
Yankees, probably as much as Bostonites do.

seriously, if they don't do something about this in the cba, they're going to have to make two leagues: ny, boston, chicago and la in one league, everyone else in the other.
Yeah this looks aweful what with chicago and the red sox doing so well this post-season and the dodgers not far behind. And the mets have such a long history or recent post season success.


but what about the blue jays? what about the orioles? is it in the best
interest of the sport to have teams like that in a situation where they
can't possibly compete over 162 games? maybe the yankees are the only
problem -- with their payroll almost twice boston's -- but i really
think MLB has to do something.

Aside from inept management, what's stopping them from competing?

Every sport has teams that never win, and those leagues have salary caps.

I'm too lazy to do the websearch right now, but I suspect you'd be
hard-pressed to find a group of teams in the NBA/NFL/NHL quite like the
AL East. Putting aside the top to bottom money issue [since those
salary caps reduce the range of spending to fairly small #s], I would
not expect to find a grouping in these other sports where the year-end
outcome is felt to be such a foregone conclusion. This year, with the
Red Sox slipping out of 2nd place, is the first time since... what,
1998?... that the AL East has looked at all different come October.
