Baseball!!!!!!!!!!

Well, hopefully the Reds will do well this year in their new ballpark. If Griffey can play a whole season, and put up the numbers he is capable of it might be interesting between the Cards, Astros, and Cubs. For all of you Yankee fans out there, I don't fault you for following your team (as long as you didn't jump on the bandwagon in the last 8 yrs), but the Yankee's are what is wrong with baseball, and as long as they are allowed to keep spending $200 or million a year on salaries, then the problem is only going to get worse. Every 5 yrs or so you have a team like the Angels or Twins this year, who come along with great young players and make it far in the playoffs, or win the WS as the Angels did. But in 2 or 3 yrs, those same players will be making too much money and will be traded away to teams like the Yankees, and then the Angels and the Twins and other small market teams just like them will suck again. I love baseball more than anything, and I hate to see it continue on the path it's going. Living in Cincinnati I see it every year, and if NY can continue to spend more and more every year, they will win the WS every year because there will be no one left to compete, so what is the fun in that. :hammer: :brick:

With the Bartolo Colon and Billy Koch acquisitions, I'm looking for my White Sox to win their first World Series since 1917. And with the $60 million from U.S. Cellular, the park should be getting some nice upgrades in the coming years.

Colon and Koch are huge pickups. Should be enough to put you over the top in at least the AL Central.

I hate to see that they were forced to change the name of Comiskey Park to compete. It's sad..... Please don't change Wrigley to Yahoo.com field or something stupid like that.

Wrigley Field is already a corporate name. Wrigley Gum.

I know that, but it's named for the Wrigley family, who owned Wrigley's gum. I'm talking about how in the last 5 yrs or so, that corporations are paying for naming rights and then 2 yrs later, are going out of business or being bought and then some other company comes in and the naming rights are sold to the highest bidder.
