Yankees acquire another overpaid superstar, Red Sox fans implode
The Yankees have acquired Alex Rodriguez (hereinafter known as "A-Rod") in a move designed to improve their team and humiliate their main rivals, the Boston Red Sox. For those not in the know, the Sox tried to acquire A-Rod's contract just a few short months ago, but were thwarted by the Major League Baseball Players Association's fundamental misunderstanding of the rudimentary calculus involved in the restructuring A-Rod's contract. The Yankees, on the other hand, stuck to simple math, gave away one of their best, but very impatient, players (Alfonso Soriano) and continued to turn themselves into the baseball version of Standard Oil. Next year, Yankee owner George Steinbrenner will skip the formality and pay each team $30 Million for the right to take home the World Series trophy, whether the Yankees win the Series or not.
