My goodness, that wasn't my point. The point was...just because YOU don't think payroll is a big issue doesn't mean that it isn't. But I can tell you that contracts and salaries are a much bigger part of baseball than rain is, though I wasn't here to debate the importance of precipitation. I was simply puzzled by your addition to the thread. You don't care about payroll. Hmm, okay? And? That doesn't mean it's not important to the game.
