Put a Number on Their Back

So apparently the Plotzers are trying to buy their way into baseball success. This is really bad, nauseating stuff. So we can be the new Miami Heat or New York Yankees.

It's bad for baseball. Teams ought to be forced to stay the same from the beginning of the season to the end. It shouldn't be the same rich teams, every year, buying the good players from the same poorer teams at the end of the year.

250 million dollars.

The guys who own these teams -- it's Financial Steroids. You ingest vast amounts of capital and it makes your balls so big you think you can buy anything. In the end, does it all come down to money? Is this what we fans are supposed to care about -- which real estate developer developed more shopping centers last year?

If so, put a f___ing number on his back and trot  him out on the field. Let's see if he can hit a curveball coming at his head.

If the game some of us have rooted for for the better part of six decades has sunk this low, where all the talking is done by money and performance enhancers -- it's time to re-think. Really.
