From TwinsGeek:
One BILLION dollars. That’s how much George Steinbrenner has spent to NOT win a championship over the last six years. By comparison, if you added up every payroll dollar the Twins franchise has spent in their history, it wouldn’t equal $1 billion. Not the Twins team, mind you – the Twins franchise - which includes the Washington Senators run starting in 1900.If we could afford a better fifth starter than Sidney Ponson, we'd have won one of those games this week, I'm telling you. (And yes, I know Sidney was briefly the Yanks' fifth starter last year. But we should've learned from that.) Meanwhile, in a shocker, A-Rod is playing like... the best player in baseball. Who would've thought?
UPDATE: Oops, spoke too soon... the Twins won Wednesday night, behind lights-out pitching by... Ramon Ortiz?
