Yep Toronto had similar situation for years. Steinbrenner and Yankmees would spend $$ like its cocaine and the Jays couldn't "afford" it and would settle for 3rd or 4th in division.
So, you're criticizing the Yankees for spending money on good players? Remind me how much the Jays are playing for Buerle, Price, Tulo, Bautista, Dickey, Donaldson, etc??? Lol
