Yankee's Crying Poor?

[cosmo_kramer]

The 2008 Luxury Tax bills have been mailed out:

The New York Yankees not only failed to make the playoffs, they were hit with their highest luxury tax in three years.

The Yankees were assessed a $26.9 million tax by the commissioner's office on Monday, up from $23.9 million last year and their biggest bill since paying nearly $34 million for 2005.

The Tigers have already forwarded the "tax" onto seat prices this coming season.

Thats alright, there will be plenty of seats to go around this year ...
Even if they do rebound and have a great year... I don't see the people spending the money this year like previous years. Also, alot of the tickets are already bought so this economy may have a larger effect the year after vs this year.
