Ok so its Baseball playoff time. Lets take the salaries for fun and show where they rank.
Does Money get you to the playoffs?
Here is your answer!
The Mets, Dodgers, Cards, and Braves all finished with records worse than the Phillies, but have higher salaries.
But the Yankees and Red Sox have the top to payrolls, and both made the playoffs.
The team with the lowest salary in the playoffs, would be the Arizona Diamondbacks.
You can take the Phillies, Rockies, and Diamondbacks together to get just above the Yankees salary. Three NL playoff teams to one AL team.
Playoff Team Salaries (league rank)
PAYROLL (US$)
1. NY Yankees (3)
195,229,045
2. Boston (2)
143,123,714
5. LA Angels (4)
109,251,333
8. Chicago Cubs (12)
99,936,999
14. Philadelphia (t6)
89,368,213
23. Cleveland (1)
61,289,667
24. San Diego (t6)
58,235,567
25. Colorado (t6)
54,424,000
26. Arizona (5)
52,067,546
So I would say that money gets you talent, but not the record. Its the managing, pitching, then hitting. Overall, Its not about the money!

I am Superfan
Super Fan- A person or persons who believe in their sports team to win and that they have an effect on their winning; Mostly a fan of sports teams but any person who is willing to dress not normally (for sports commonly face painting and body painting) for the sake of the team, book, or movie would be a super fan; A person who will pull the sake of the good from a 45-0 lose of their favorite team.
I am Super Fan, my obsession for my teams and total lack for normal human behavior never goes unappreciated.
I am Super Fan, if you put my team against a natural disaster such as a Tsunami or Hurricane, I would pick my team to not only cover the spread, but win convincingly.
I am Super Fan, if I felt like wearing a clown mask, my teams jersey, and no underwear to the game would help my team win, I would.
I am Super Fan, I am the guy that you had to move your kids away from to enjoy the game.
I am Super Fan, I hate your team, but not only do I hate them, I hate their families and hope that their children lose use of important body parts so they can't follow in your foot steps.
I am Super Fan, I will believe that my team will make it when they are 7 games out with 15 to go, when they have no shot and you give them no shot.
I am Super Fan, the leader of the good people, the people that cheer for the same team I do, the developer of youth in possible Super Fans of the future.
I am Super Fan, the guy who sits in the same seat, with the same jersey and same underwear in hopes that it will inspire my team to win.
I am Super Fan, I will bring a jersey out of retirement, a Mike Mamula jersey for that matter, in hopes that it will bring a W on this weekend.
I am Super Fan, I have so many more Holiday's than you do, every weekend, every weeknight every day that my team plays, aren't you jealous?
I am Super Fan, and your not, you never will be, and I am better than you.

Don't forget the $50 million Boston paid JUST FOR THE RIGHT TO NEGOTIATE with Matsuzaka ... who sucks. So, the Sox essentially have an $183 million payroll, which makes their complaints about the Yankee greed seem laughable.
Err, that's $193 million. With that negotiation fee, the Sox payroll this year was $2 million less than New York's. Those people have no right to complain about anything.
I believe the Yanks offered a ton to negotiate too, sucks losing out to your biggest enemies.
