I agree with Mike 100% Ken. Baseball's house is a mess bud. And what's
with the quotes around the word sport? You don't consider bass fishing a
sport Ken?


No, football is a sport, baseball is a sport, but golf
and poker and bass fishing are recreations that hang out
on the same TV channels as sport. And yeah, the whole
steroids thing is a mess but baseball is bigger than the
current custodians of the game. No matter how dumb the
players or greedy the owners baseball itself always
transcends them.
