The Scorecard: Believe it or not, the Yankees are rather profitable

By 'Duk

If you ever wondered what it takes to run an Evil Empire, the Yankees had $188 million worth of gate receipts in 2007, which is not even counting the money from $9.50 Budweisers and the rest of the concessions. That made them another $65 million. [Biz of Baseball]

• Those totals are only going to skyrocket once the Yankees move into their new stadium next season, which could price many long-time season ticket holders out of their usual seats. [Yanksfan vs. Soxfan]

• But despite all that money they have to spend, there's a current debate over which roster one would rather have — the one that belongs to the Rays or the one owned by the Yankees? Yes, we are actually arguing that point in 2008. [Bugs & Cranks]

Elsewhere in the baseball blogosphere:

• MAT isn't much for knee-jerk decisions, but says it's time for the Tigers to fire Jim Leyland. [Mack Avenue Tigers]

• The Reds were the first team to solve the mystery of Cliff Lee's pitching. [Redlegs Rundown]

• Five things that should worry a Dodgers fan. [Sons of Steve Garvey]

• That Nats-O's rivalry sure is heated. (Or not.) [Camden Chat]

• The late John Marzano receives the best honor that South Philly can bestow. [The 700 Level]

• In case you were wondering (and I just know you were), Tim Belcher is the 55th greatest Royal of all time. [Royals Review]
