Well, baseball isn't dying because of this.......it's been dying because there's no salary cap.

Wieters will be the best catcher in baseball in a couple of years. Him, Markakis, Adam Jones and all those pitchers should finally make the O's competitive again. |

The Orioles have been uncanny in their ability to produce highly touted pitching prospects that flame out incredibly. Bedard was the only guy that ever came close. They had Matt Riley, Hayden Penn, Adam Loewen, Beau Hale...the list seems endless. The Orioles always have a 'new' class of pitchers ready to turn the franchise around. Then they 'splode. They'll hit, though, I'll give 'em that. |

Yeah, but this time there's like 5 of them, so even if 3 implode we could still get 2 good pitchers out of the deal. Like the old saying.....throw enough shit against the wall, some of it's bound to stick, right? ![]() |

Baseball is hardly "dying." The only sport doing better than it in America is the NFL.

Most of the NBA is bleeding money. The NBA as a whole is in deep financial trouble and on the verge of a lockout. You essentially have a few teams competing and the rest of the league looking to cut costs to survive.

Just exactly WTF are you talking about?
Hell, you might as well have said the WNBA is doing better than the NFL and you'd be damn near as rooted in fact as the above quoted statement. The NBA is hemorrhaging money, attendance is down and the product is as poor as it's ever been...and I'm an NBA defender! I'm one of the few genuine fans of the league left. This is possibly the dumbest thing I've read on this board...well at least in the last hour anyway. |
