Home Opening Day!
Baseball back in the city today! I'm very excited. Hopefully this year we might win some games.
Anyways I thought this list on total baseball payroll was interesting. You can do a total interactive search by players and teams on the USA today website.

I gotta wonder is their a correlation between payroll and making the playoffs. Hmmm..... Yankees, Red Sox, Angels, White Sox? Lets see Angels in 02, Florida in 03, Red Sox in 04, and White Sox in 05? Florida always purges it salaries every few years so hard to compare to this list below. You gotta love the A's who spend nothing, lose their best players to free agency, have a crappy stadium, no fans, and still every freaking year they seem to be in the hunt for a playoff spot.
Giants gotta spend more.
