Hurtling Toward the Void: There's no need to fear; Underdog is here!
Fans of other playoff baseball teams are making a case for you to support their colors, so I’ll make mine. It’s quite simple, really:
Total payroll of 2011 MLB playoff teams
New York Yankees $202,689,028
Philadelphia Phillies $172,976,379
Detroit Tigers $105,700,231
St. Louis Cardinals…
Look, I like the Rays. Hell, I’ll root for them over every team in the league except the Phillies. But the payroll argument doesn’t hold water for me. I mean, at least since Phillies management decided to spend big money on free agents to win a title, anyway.

After “make them competitive” you forgot “Then hold a fire sale getting rid of all the talent on the team.”

Does that make the Pirates the Wile E. Coyote of baseball? No matter what money and effort they expend they always lose?
