Too many damn teams diluting the talent pools. |
the reason is that every team in baseball is earning profits, except the yankees. check out this article:

The number you want to look at is the earned income. With that said, some of the small market teams have huge earnings compared to other teams because of the luxury tax. And that is also why the yankees are losing money. |

| I rarely get excited about a reg. season win but this was a nice one for the Sox tonight. It was cool to see Lester go out there and pitch well in his first game back. |

Well said. That's what impressed me the most. A couple of big double plays and that Sizemore strikeout with the bases loaded really defined his night. |

| I agree with James...I love it when we spank decent teams but when the game is won in the first two innings against teams like Kansas,, I feel sorry for the fans...I'm glad they managed to score a couple though..At least the fans can go back home to their trailers with sumfin to talk about... |
