The Yankees and Mets try again this year to buy a World Series. Yankees' payroll leads the Majors at $201.4 million. Marlins' divisional-rivalMets come in at $135.7 million, second highest in the Bigs. The Marlins have the lowest payroll, and currently the best team, in the Majors with a $36.8 million--three million more than Alex Rodriquez. Marlins are due--they won it all in 1997, six years later in 2003, and now it's 2009!

 The Grand Prairie AirHogs gave away a funeral at their game Tuesday night.  Elaine Fulps was the winner, and she said, "God still has me around for a reason.  To win a funeral."  Click here for the video.  (thanks to Jose en Queso)
