Oh, and now they won't authorize the extra bucks that it would cost for the Expos to pick up Cliff Floyd? The commisioner's office had to approve the Mondesi deal because the Jays were stuck with $6 mill of his contract -- THAT they couldn't do fast enough, but the office isn't going to step in here and tell the other owners to knock it the hell off?

Congratulations, MLB, I no longer give a fuck for the rest of the year. Probably ever. A long, long, LONG time ago I stopped "caring" about what really went on, but I'm not going to let my posts get tiresome on my own BBS.

One more month till NFL training camps open, right? Excellent.

Alright, one more.

TIMELINE: A couple years back. When they are designing that ballpark in Milwaukee.

"Hey! Nobody, and I mean NOBODY either currently does or ever will want to play for us. Plus, we have no money to pay people with because less people live in Wisconsin than California. (That's our fault, not the game's. Our bad.) Anyway. Here's my brainstorm. OK? OK? OK? Dude. Hitter's Park. Eh? Eh? HITTER'S PARK!!!!! So now the teams in the NL that guys DO like to play for can come smash one highlight-reel, mind-boggling homer after another, while the guys we will end up with will whiff 170 times each.

They should have made the dimensions of that stadium at least 500 feet all the way around.

(Ah, well. At least from the looks of it, it certainly seems like a cool place to catch a game. It's just too bad that the tradition they had going in the 80s melted away with a few bad decisions and the game's inherent revenue problems.)

Great quote from here:

http://sports.yahoo.com/mlb/columns/200 ... sbigh.html

Your latest example of Yankee bashing just went too far. I'm not aware whether you truly despise the New York Yankees, or if your anti-Yankee stance is merely the politically correct one. In either case, I must object.

Baseball is a business. As in other industries, survival of the fittest is the law of the jungle. Why shouldn't the most valuable franchise in the league also have the highest payroll? Why shouldn't the team with the most championships want to win more?

Just... just unbelievable. That a monkey like that could figure out how to use a PC and e-mail in the first place, really, but still. Great work, "Paul L. Hunting."
