"Look at the all the money the Rangers spend, didn't work"

Post by salamander »

Remember that from last year? When people used the Rangers as an example of why we shouldn't spend?

:lol:

Pure idiocy.
It's been 32 years since one of MN's four major sports teams has been to the Championship/Superbowl.
Every single year is failure until we win one. 4 teams, 32 years. That's roughly 128 consecutive failed seasons.

I don’t think complaining about the Twins payroll is a smart strategy in criticizing this twins team.

Padres took out a loan to cover their 3rd highest payroll, lulz.

Was posting a list of teams that have a WS win in the last 15 years going to prove me wrong?

You mean this Twins team that got shelled by a higher payroll and just got off the worst playoff streak in the history of all 4 major sports?
That Twins team?

What I'm asking for is a couple times a decade to be buyers. Not have a top 10 payroll every year.

I'm never going to another Twins game unless their payroll is negative. 8 positive payroll years and 2 negative payroll years is still 6 positive payroll years per decade.
