Series Thread: ALCS Series Thread Boston vs Houston

[trojanfight]

Should LA make it think they match up better vs Red Sox. Not to say that Boston is some easy matchup just thought another Houston series wouldnt have been ideal

I made some but not that much because I sacrificed a lot of it on my Longhorns.

By the time I realized I need to do some sacrificing for the Stos, it was too late.

Oh, definitely. They spent well. I think the Giants failure is a bigger event than the Red Sox success.

I wish MLB had a good salary cap. Both a min and a max. Must be above 100 million but under 200 million. So Tampa couldn't spend 71 million less than league average as they did this year.

Hard salary cap is almost impossible in baseball because of the television contracts. Unlike football, who has national contracts that each team shares, in baseball each team has their own TV deal. So NESN and the YES network pay so much more that teams like Boston and N.Y. have plenty of money while other teams do not

Gotta say I'm surprised how this series turned out. Especially after the Astros won the Sale Game in Fenway. The Astros SP had been great all year but they couldn't get it done

YES Network is worth approximately 2X what the franchise is worth.

And the franchise is the most valuable in MLB.
