Why the Yankees are totally unimpressive

The New York Yankees are whats bad about MLB. The spend SOOO much more money then everyone else (no wonder they have 27+ World Championships); If i were to pay 4 million dollars for a home and you paid 300k it would be no shocker to find my house in magazines. How can any sport allow a team to spend 150 million dollars more than other teams in a single season. The fact the Yankees don't win it all (every season) is a JOKE. I guess that is whats great about baseball. The bad (rich guys) don't always win.

From cbssportsline.com
"Using the regular method of accounting, the Yankees finished with a $207.5 million payroll for their 40-man roster, according to final figures released Friday by the commissioner's office, up from $206.6 million in 2005.
Boston was a distant second this year at $137.5 million, followed by the New York Mets ($116.6 million), Houston ($107.7 million), the Los Angeles Dodgers ($107.2 million) and the Los Angeles Angels ($104 million).
The World Series champion St. Louis Cardinals were 10th at $96.1 million, and the AL champion Detroit Tigers were 14th at $89.8 million.
Florida, last at $21.1 million, had less than half the payroll of Pittsburgh, 28th at $43.4 million. Tampa Bay was in between them at $36.4 million."
