Put two more in New York but the Mets and Yankees aren't going for that.

The World Series thing shouldn't make it mean less. It actually makes it mean more. The problem is the managers aren't really playing to win. They're getting the guys in and everyone is having fun. It's like a hybrid of an exhibition and a real game. That's why a set-up man who didn't do anything in the game a bunch of other guys didn't do just as well could win the MVP.

The future holds the possibility to be great or terrible, and since it has not yet occurred it remains simultaneously both.

San Antonio seems like it has the population and the baseball interest to make it work, and it would give the Rangers an AL team to play with so the Astros could go back to their league. Overall, though, I don't think demand for baseball is going up. Down, in fact.

I don't really have a problem with the All-Star game being a showcase for the individual abilities of the stars like the NBA or NHL games, but I do agree with what Hatchetman touched on earlier in that the thing that has always made baseball's game special is that it looked and played like an actual real game, not just a bunch of guys showboating. I think the golden age of the All_star game is back in the 50s and 60s when the NL was dominating with pretty much a set line-up. You knew Willie was leading off and playing center. The players cared so the game mattered. It didn't require manufactured competition. I hated when Frank left in the middle of the game. If that fat fuck doesn't care, why should I?

I am glad all four are taking to task Bulls Beat writers.

KC Johnson is such a water carrier and a pussy.

I hate this whole idea that superstars are only going to play for Texas and Florida teams because there's no state income tax and there's not a fishbowl. Will Leitch wrote a stupid article to this effect last week. People will still want to play for the Lakers, Yankees, whatever. But I guess everything is about brand-building in GUANGZHOOOUUUUU and creating generational wealth. California's too expensive!

I'm no income tax expert but my hazy memory of school seems to recall that tax is taken in the state the money is earned. So while those players may realize some tax benefits, they are going to be paying an income tax 50% of the time for the away games.

Now this makes me wonder if an enterprising agent could design the contract to so that the player only earns salary for dates his player is working in a non income tax state.
