First of all, Boston does the same thing but most people don't have a problem with them winning the Series last year with the 2nd highest payroll in MLB. As for the Yankees "should" be winning 75% of their games, let's not forget that this team is mostly comprised of players 33 and over (with many being in their late 30s/early 40s). As well as baseball being such a hard game that it is, I think it's somewhat unreasonable to expect them to win 75% of their games. I think that the last 4 World Series Champs (Arizona in '01, Anaheim in '02, Florida in '03 and Boston in '04) should lead you to believe that no matter what the Yankees payroll is, the players still have to go out there and perform and win it all themselves!
