Thus, why should he spend more money than necessary?
It doesn't grow on trees, people! It can't buy love! It can't cure cancer! It costs a lot of money just to count it! And because money matters so little, I shall not spend one penny more than needed! This might sound like I'm poormouthing, but I'm not!
(Massage forehead. Breathe deeply. Sigh.)
Mr. Steinbrenner... sir... To win, you must spend money... wisely.
Check the Yankee payroll. Is that spending wisely?

We don't even spend money "Wise-ly" on potato chips. Instead, we get Utz.
BaBoont to Cashman;
Cashman to Hal;
Hicks, Donaldson and IKF to all three,

Me to MLB and All of the above (with more disposable income than I have ever had before),

Data comes from Cot's Contracts.
In that span, the Dodgers have gone 562-309 (.645), and the Yankees have gone 518-352 (.595).
The Dodgers have won 5 division titles, 3 NL pennants, and 1 World Series title.
The Yankees have won 2 division titles, 0 AL pennants, and 0 World Series titles.
I get what Hal is saying in that spending doesn't guarantee you titles.
But he should look at how the Dodgers spend money and how the Yankees waste money and notice the difference between these two franchises right now.
Hal's not cheap, he's stupid
And, even before the team takes the field, we have to write a check for $80MM to cover the note on the new stadium!
The new stadium we didn't really need.
I feel so bad for Harold. How does he manage on such measly sums of money?
