Where is the choice for those of us who just follow AMD chip prices? 😉
They are Still hurting from the All-Star game when it was called off because of no more pitures, that was a stupid move, and now this...i remember the last strike in 96 or something when matt williams was suppose to break 62 homers but the bastards went on strike and i lost all interest in baseball

me too... i have only gone to 1 game in the last 5 years anyways... but i still watch the players stats as they juice their way to the record book.
I'll follow it still.............not because I approve but because I have a 13 year old son whom absolutely loves the game..............he's not forced to and plays for the sheer desire and joy of playing the game! Like I said, he's 13 and last this season was 9 - 1 and never walked a batter when he pitched and led his team in batting percentage and hits!
I'll be honest with myself and say that I would NOT stop following the game if they do strike.
I go to 5-10 games a year and am a lifelong Tigers fan. I don't buy that much MLB merchandise as it is, but I wouldn't let a strike stop me from buying a Tigers hat or the like.
I know that baseball is a game and the players are getting paid entirely too much money for what they do. But I also understand that this game is a business. I didn't stop using UPS because of their strike, and I didn't stop buying GM cars despite the fact I witnessed numerous union strikes first-hand in Flint, MI.
It is hard to lump baseball in with those corporations, but that is what it has become.

A ball game is a ball game. If the bitches want to throw a temper tantrum, let them. I'm going to enjoy the games still being played by the people who truely love the sport.

i disagree. Minors players shouldn't play. They will be ousted for the rest of their careers. Look at Damien Miller of the Dbacks. He still isn't recognized as an official member of the World Champion team. because the players association won't let him in the union because he crossed in 1995. There are others as well (Kerry Lightenberg).
