Ummmm baseball fans complain about this all the time
See the New York Yankees lolComment -
Actually, I don't find the revenue disparity between the upper class and lower class of Major League Baseball teams to be in the least bit amusing.Comment -
its the way they signed with miami that pissed ppl offComment -
Well, at least Adrian Gonzalez and Carl Crawford didn't go dancing like little bitches like those fukks from Miami.Comment -
yeah thats true. didnt think about it that way. I hate both teamsComment -
It sucks that 23-25 teams had no shot to get Crawford, what can be done though? For Gonzalez they did give up 3 of their top prospects.Comment -
I don't take that as a knock on the player though as you currently clearly are.
I'm a Wiz fan, have been for quite some time, and my squad did have room for at least one Max guy this offseason if they wanted; yet on every ESPN list of teams with room they wouldn't even be listed. Why? Cuz theres no chance the guy himself wanted to go to the team. That's what free agency is all about, being able to pick a team and sign with them. If you had the choice between making a team that would be one of the best in the league in Miami from the get-go, or go to a team like the Wizards (even with John Wall), why would he?
Those teams that are smart enough don't even waste their time competing.
I can't wait for a baseball GM, and manager to take the approach the spurs do; it allows them to compete as a minor market in a state with multiple other nba franchises. Like you don't see one team that consistently makes the playoffs EVERY SINGLE YEAR, is considered dangerous regardless come playoff time, and is built off of guys in their scouting and personnel departments picking guys that have the right attitude, and just enough skill to fit into Pop's brilliant system. Guys like Gary Neal, Bruce Bowen (yeah I know he's retired), Matt Bonner, DeJuan Blair (goddamn wizards got fleeced), McDyess, Manu &Tony (both later draft picks)...guys from all different backgrounds that they didn't give up barely anything for. But they don't swing and miss with personnel moves; people were worried this offseason what would happen with Richard Jefferson...and he gave up money to come back and play and started off the season great..
When it's time for Free agency, their main guys ALWAYS come back, regardless of opportunities from other teams. I knew no matter how hard I wished, the wizards weren't going to turn Ricky Rubio into Manu, regardless of rumors he was being made available.Comment -
yep Baseball is broken, not sure what can be done.
Just happy to be a National league fan, its less like Wall Street

Congratulations on the World Series Championship for the Giants.
What can be done to make a change involves fans sticking together and stop paying the salaries of the players. Since it will not happen, kinda sux.
Giants for a repeat!

When will a city East of Toronto get a MLB team (Hartford, Raleigh, etc..) so we would be the most Western geographic city in the AL East, and potentially get moved to the Central?
Until then or until the Sox and Yanks lose their paybooks, baseball will never be exciting again.Comment -
Well so much for this quote
Thanks Jim, was a great ride. I don't see it happening again but right now I'm happy with one. Never thought I'd see it
