Baseball
 

Just out of curiosity, whose side are you on? The owners, the players, somewhere in the middle, or they can all go to hell?

Personally, I'm on the owner's side. Their the ones who take all the financial risk. The players have it pretty damn good, so for them to be complaining at all is pure shit as far as I'm concerned.

Just wondering what everyone else thinks.

fuck them all...theyre all millionaires anyways

who cares..baseball will be off of tv for a couple years...good ridance... fuck the players,they ask for too much and fuck the owners for giving it to them... baseball has NEVER been the highest grossing sport but yet they give out the biggest contracts and add new teams every 2 years? thats insane...they deserve whatever happens...

btw,baseball was my life growing up but i could give two shits now the way people have ruined the game...

I'm more worried about what the NBA's theme song is going to be now that they left NBC...THAT'S a thread!

I agree with everything you just said.

Agreed.

Baseball died years ago.

Its almost as gay as soccer now.

Same here actually. I was a huge sports fan in general growing up. The advent of free agency and all the related whining and crying across all the sports that comes with it has ruined every single sport for me. :(

I tend to side with the players...

the owners are the ones signing these high priced deals and then complaining...if they just said "this is as high as we go" and stick to it, then they wouldn't have the problems..I think Bud Selig is a cancer..and not the cute kind, but the kind as cancer that starts at your tongue and burrows through to your asshole...he has killed the great sport of baseball...

I'll defend high salaries due to the fact the best should be paid the best...anyone whining about them making too much is just jealous...fuck, if I had the skills to play on a professional level, I'd be back on the field in a heartbeat...

A big deal was made of A Rod making $25 million per year in texas, but he's produced amazing numbers AND put asses in seats...think he was worth it? well, if he wasn't playing for Texas which has sucked dog's ass the last 3 years, there would be absolutely no one in the stands in Arlington right now....

The powers that be killed baseball in Montreal...no one will go see them team even though they are contending because MLB cut back on local television broadcasts, local coverage and other problems (there is currently a lawsuit happening from a former owner alleging the misdeeds). What's a real pisser is that every year Bud Selig pleads poverty for baseball, yet they raise the price of owning a franchise and even a shiity team can sell for a handsome profit.

Wayne Herzigna bought his fucking World Series then dumped the Marlins and screwed everyone oevr and made a tidy profit on the sale of the team....

The Minnesota Twins was the target of contraction and yet they are in first in their division while Bud Selig's own team, thw Milwakee Brewers have one of the worst etams in baseball and haven't fielded an exciting team since the early 80's.

Hmmm, a team owner is commissioner of baseball (and of coutrse this was voted on by other etam owenrs) Isn't thata blatant conflict of interestes? Sure his daughter "oversees" the team, but ButtFuck Selig still calls the shots....and even went so far as to blackmail the city into getting hima brand new stadium...and I won't even go into the fiasco of the All Star Game...


Billionaire owners and millionaire players fighting voer stupid shit and destroying the game I love...not sure if I can really even take the side of the Players lately....

must really suck to get checks like this every two weeks. :(

owners of course.

sucks when you root for a small market team that can't compete with big market teams.

more revenue sharing and luxery tax would help all teams to have a chance to be more competitive. i'd like to see a hard cap, but there's no way the players would go for that.

look how competitive the nfl is. teams can go from being in the cellar to winning the super bowl.

I used to watch baseball but they had a strike a few years back because they players wanted more money. That turned me off the game. Besides baseball is boring to watch compared with other sports.

my stomache suddenly feels queezy =-)

Fans...

Baseball is sooooooo boooooring.
How can anyone watch it?

piazza's money is in gay currency... he can only buy 10 pairs of shoes and a new Church hat with that...

if u wanna talk about pay talk about how football players are wayy underpaid..those are the ones who really put their body in danger,especially in practice!!

ask SleazyDream...hell, he probably gets chceks like that weekly........

Who cares the sport sucks....
