[SouthSideRyan]

Annoying as always, those figures take into account only the salaries paid to the guys currently on the team, not the total payroll of the team.

Combine the Cubs and Angels, and there's the Yankees payroll. Plus, the Cubangels get Vlad.

With modern advances in air travel, I would think it wouldn't be too difficult for him to show up every 5th day. :wink:

why that would require him to pitch every 2.5 days between Seattle Mariners and the LA-cago CUBangels

And with our new bullpen, we can afford to have him only pitch 3 innings or so.

That's right. I don't even know where I got that from. I like Ervin Santana though. Put him in that place.

Ahhh, and yet the Cubs still hold the #2 place behind Boston in price of an average bball game ticket.

[ManEatingTarp]

yeah, and the Cards jumped to #3. Folks in the Lou are gonna start getting upset if the payroll stays below 90.

 

I can understand the Cubs and BoSox having high ticket prices because of the size of Wrigley and Fenway. St. Louis #3 on that list is a joke.

St. Louis has a new ball park to pay for, and doesn't have the market revenue that the Cubs and Bosox have.
