Yankees, Rangers payroll disparity largest in playoff history...

http://gossipsports.com/?p=684

A couple fun tidbits from the article...

The difference between Alex Rodriguez (Yankees’ highest-paid player) and Michael Young (Rangers’ highest-paid) is Mark Teixeira.

Re: The Rangers’ five highest-paid players. Cliff Lee, Cristian Guzman and Jorge Cantu were just picked up this summer via trade. Rich Harden was released four days ago.

For the price of Alex Rodriguez, you could sign every Texas Ranger except the six highest paid.

The difference between the Yankees payroll and the Rangers payroll is the Cubs payroll. The Cubs have the third-highest payroll in baseball.

I'm with Pete, glad to see the Rangers advancing and hope they beat the Yanks. Not just because I don't like the Yankees but because having Cliff Lee pitch against Roy Halladay in the World Series would be fantastic. Phils will win it all regardless of who they face, they're better than they were 2 years ago when they won.

Let's not even start arguing about overturning Row vs. Wade!
