    College sports are a god damn joke. It's organized, attitudinized, institutionalized, marginalized and over-all "lized" slavery.

    It's a business. What originally started out as schools competing with each other in athletics for fun and rivalry got carried away into being a business. They now want to unionize college players. Basically college teams are now minor league professional teams.

    I think it speaks to how the attention span of society has changed. We don't have the patience the previous generation had. Where as they could watch a baseball game on television and be intrigued by the strategy of it (balls and strikes), we find it slow paced and boring to watch.

    The best way to watch a baseball game is with a female. You kiss her on the strikes and she kisses you on the balls.

    Yes! I hate those ugly pants - not only should stirrups be required, they should be from the 1970's era.

    And that's pretty much the point, isn't it?

    Does it matter that Hank Aaron was black or that he hit 715 home runs?

    Is Barry Bonds any more of a douchebag than Roger Clemens when they both are junkie cheaters?

    I hate PayRod for ditching the Mariners to join the Most OverRated Shitty Corporate Franchise In The History of Baseball, but it ain't because he's Hispanic. It's because he's a fucking greedy arrogant asshole

    I still have the first bat I got. It fits nicely between a car seat and door.

    Got a Rick Manning bat from an Indians doubleheader in the early 80's...Tribe was gettin' killed in the second game, so we left early and listened to the rest of it on the radio on the way home. You could hear kids hitting the press box with their new bats! Guy's tryin' to talk though all the noise...

    Can't remember who posted stuff I wanted to quote and too lazy to look...

    The minor league guys don't make much money. Sure, when they get called up they get the big league treatment, but sticking around is not guaranteed. The Indians have an A team not too far from downtown. Some of those players stay with host families when not on the road. Maybe it gets better in double and triple A teams. There's also a Frontier League team on the far west side, their salary cap is $72k and the league minimum is $600 a month. Their park holds 5000. The majority of those players stay with host families.

    My friend's kid is 12 and plays on a traveling team. He's pretty good, but my friend knows that the big opportunity is probably not coming but the kid loves to play.

    Yes their two best seasons after he left but they started rising to their greatest incompetency thereafter.

    But that doesn't matter, I think we both agree Gay Rod is a punk ass bitch

    That would be me. My term was that they made "peanuts"....

    My son played showcase ball for two summers. Nearly every weekend at a different university, like VA Tech, UVA, UNC, USC, Clemson, etc, playing in front of college coaches and pro scouts.....

    Not cheap, though.....

    A lot of those guys are chasing a dream. The Frontier League guys have even less of a chance of getting noticed and making the bigs. I'm sure there are scouts everywhere but any more the risk of signing a guy and having him end up a bust is too great.

    Yeah I still have my first bat as well. It's a little short Louisville Slugger junior bat. It would make one hell of a good car defense club. LOL!
