As the Rangers sit and watch, the Tigers head to NY Thursday night.
As a Tiger fan, I really never thought I could say this...
I officially hate Curtis Granderson.

people hate on the Yankees because they have a big payroll...get over it...they play in New York and everything is bigger in New York...and try explaining how they never....ever complain that they subsidize 60% of the rest of the teams in the league with the luxury tax they willingly pay every year to teams that instead of re investing their monies into young talented players take profits instead for their fat cat owners.....see Pittsburgh Pirates, Kansas City Royals perennial doormats on the take

...Tele you can find rabid, entitled and smug fans everywhere....Yankees fans are no different than RedSox fans or Lakers fans, or Miami Heat fans....but the argument that the Yankees are some fat cat corporate machine is just an easy excuse...they pay for A Rod because he makes them money with their TV station programming...just like CC and Texeira...but 70% of their team is their own farm system talent. The real scandal in baseball are teams like the Marlins, perenial doormats who trade their players rather than pay them and make profits for their shareholder owners or get city councils through blackmail to sponser the $500 million new stadiums that they don't need.

Don't leave out the loutish Phillies fans, the most insufferable lot in baseball. Those yahoos come into your city by the busload, drunk as skunks before they ever get to the park, and then try to pick fights with the home team fans all game. They're the kind of people that crash your party and then grope your wife and puke on your rug. Yes, it was a Phillies fan that puked on an off-duty cop who was taking his daughters to see a game a few years ago.
Despite being around since 1876, the Phillies have won two of the 107 World Series (1980 and 2008) that have been played since the first one in 1903. But some short-term success has their fanbase acting like the team's some kind of dynasty. I rejoice in their fan base's collective pain and misery tonight. I guess they can start rooting for their "dream team" Eagles in earnest now.
The scandal about teams like the Marlins and Pirates is that they make about $27 million a year in revenue sharing and then have about a $35 million dollar payroll. Forget about a salary cap: baseball needs a salary floor to force the teams that get revenue sharing money to reinvest in their product.
