For those who care about baseball:


WFAN NY (radio) reporting that we WILL have major league baseball this season!

😀

Not only that but supposedly they'll play all 162 .... I'm unreasonably happy about this! (it would have been totally "Mets" to spend a bazillion dollars on players for a dead season lol)

Says the person that thinks that watch overpaid and greedy people play a game is a worthwhile activity. I consider the source, and I really prefer to be ignored by such shallow people. Get off my lawn...

as a cleveland fan, absolutely

nothing like trying to get lucky with promising minor leaguers in long contracts in order to time things just right

so that we can run on 1/3 or 1/4 the payroll of big market teams, yet still maybe get a chance every 10 years

Baseball has had multiple teams with relatively low payrolls win in recent years and aside from Boston the mega-payroll teams have been very disappointing. Dodgers & Yankees in particular stand out.

Time and time again we see the same teams crash, burn and re-build successfully (ie: the Cardinals, Braves) while certain other teams throw big money at the problem repeatedly and yet continue to lose anyway.

Baseball isn't just about spending its about spending wisely! 😉

Q: How long since the Cleveland Indians/Guardians won a World Series?


A: 73 years (1949-2021)

I'm afraid this run goes well beyond anything a salary cap is going to help much with since bad luck doesn't collect a paycheck!

😉

Seriously I didn't realize it was this ugly!



EDIT: Still ... could be worse!


These teams have never won the World Series


Baseball’s saddest record finally belongs to its most deserving team *(from 2019 but still applies)

A salary cap is just a fancy way for billionaire owners to pocket more money on the backs of players.

It wasn't "greedy players" keeping the season on hold: it was a lockout initiated by the greedy owners.
 
Some people are just whiny grouchy a$$holes with something nasty to say but very little (if any) positive to contribute. Not much I can do about it.

What a joke.... go crawl back in your hole and enjoy your fvcking sour grapes in private.
