the old days of curse and misery are over, now it's just who puts out the better team. the yankees spend more for theirs, but it's not necessarily better. this year it's pretty even. too bad it can't save them from being a bunch of entitled corporate c*nts. if you ever live in new york, you'll know what i mean. they and their fans act as if the world series should be conferred on them in spring training. no other team or fanbase has that attitude.
as for the spending, you're also missing the point there. NO ONE should complain about paying a luxury tax if they spend $175m (sox) or $200m+ (yankees). don't want to pay, don't outspend the rest of the teams. it's that simple. yankees have to pay all that luxury tax? cry me a river.
