Yankee's monopolizing Baseball..

Yankee's are starting to piss me off... they now have a
payroll over $200 million (basically twice as much as any
other team) and a crapload of great players including:
Jeter, Sheffield, Giambi, and now Alex Rodriguez to name
just a few...
It's almost cheating to clean up the free agent market like
that... How many other teams could use an A-Rod or a
Sheffield? It's just greedy. And the owner George
Steinbrenner already has like 4 World Series titles already
under his belt, and he's STILL shelling out more money then
any one else for some of baseballs best players when he
already has a superstar team... I hope he looses this year
and every year until he sells his team.

Anyways I'm a big time Giants fan but I'm also partial to
the Red Sox (go figure). Any other baseball fans on the
board?

Baseball is wank. Why don't you watch a real sport instead?

I enjoy lots of sports... including Enlish Premiere Soccer
;p ... I just happen to live close to a beatiful ballpark,
formerly Pac Bell now the ugly sounding SBC park. I get to
see a living lenged, Barry Bonds in person on a regular
basis.

I've given up on baseball -- it's hard to stay interested
when you're a red sox fan.

baseball is the most boring sport in the world to watch...
playing isn't so bad though.

I used to love baseball with the Blue Jays won the world
series those two times, and then the few years after that...
but I just lost interest...

I agree I love watching baseball. It's much more meaningful
and enjoyable when you try and follow a team from day one
until the end. Go Cubs!

Money. Sports. Fuck it.

Because of it, there may not be an NHL season in '04-'05,
unless, by some act of God, they can agree on a Collective
Bargaining Agreement. Because the players and owners are
arguing about money. The players want to live comfortably,
and want to make sure they always will... the LOWEST paid
players in the league make 500k a year, and they act like
they're on welfare. Ridiculous. Not quite as bad as
baseball, but still a joke.

To make as much money as Alex Rodriguez makes in ONE YEAR,
for doing nothing useful, I'd have to work for over one
millenium at my current job.

Well you have to factor in just how much money the sport is
making and where that money itself is going... they charge
$8 for a small beer, make millions and millions per
commerical that goes on the air... so it's only fair that
the players should get most of that money, because they are
doing most of the work. What's not fair is on team having
so much higher of a payroll because their owner is a greedy
bastard willing to shell out 100 million more then any other
team to steal all the top players AFTER already winning 3
world series titles...

I'm not sure where I got my avatar, honestly ;p... I have a
huge collection of strange pictures and this one kind of
made me laugh... Ill post a bigger version soon.

I'd like to hear more about this Rounders. I've never heard
of it before

I can't wait, last season was amazing. It would only make
the (my world) better if the sox killed A Rod. So many
people are pissed about him gojng to the yanks.

Should be a great season. GO SOX! ONCE AGAIN YOU BITCHES !

I got a ticket for Giants vs. Sox at Pac Bell on June 18th.
That should be a great game... I'm so happy you guys got
Schilling, he's one of my favorite pitchers. Not the biggest
Pedro Martienez fan though, he's kind of a jerk off. If the
Giants dont go all the way, I'm going for the Sox ;p

Yeah Pedro is a dick but that bitch can toss the ball,,, Got
to give him props.

Sox have to win every game to win back our love. They let us
down so bad last year. We were ready to flip Boston upside
down if they won . Pussy's. Fuck the world for al it's worth
! That's my motto....
