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

No! You can't have the keys to the wine cellar!
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.

LET `EM ROLL ONE MORE TIME
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.

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

Love seeing GheyRod getting popped for the bag of fetid shit he truly is
Now, that's entertainment.
This is my fave Aroid moment..what a bitch....
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...
Writing In All Proper Case Takes Extra Time, Is Confusing To Read, And Is Completely Pointless.
Fuck baseball
and
Fuck sports in general.

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.
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.
Did you hear the latest one about the Jew, the Catholic and the colored boy who went to heaven?
And the guy who thought he would get rich playing ball games ??
