Underdog Bullshit I agree, there not underdogs.

overhyped? I disagree, but then again, I don't see the promotion they get in other states. However sox and especially sox v. yanks sell tickets and shirts, and tv ads and hats and etc...

There are other teams that could spend the money and they don't.

There are other teams that should and they don't. One thing I've always agreed with steinbrenner on is this lux tax, he feels if a team is getting x$ to "even out" the playing field, they should be required to spend it on payroll or not get it.

Makes sense, the whole point of the money being paid by the over-spenders to the under-spenders is to even out the payroll feild, so to see owners like Minnesota put it in their pocket makes little sense.
