I haven't given a sh*t about baseball since 1989. The sport is a joke and a total crock. The shame is that, even as a kid, I dreamt of taking my son to a ballgame. Baseball has ripped that dream from me.
Sure, we'll catch a football game here and there, but in the old days, dads and sons would just relax at a ballpark on a Sunday afternoon snacking on some hotdogs.
Fsck that now.
that's one of the things i'm pissed about...with the spiraling salaries, I'd have to spend a weeks pay on tickets to see the Sox....my mom used to sit in the first 5 rows right behind home plate for 20 bucks per seat. I know prices go up, but this is ridiculous. Then you find out they're using illegal substances to increase their output, and thus salary.
As for drawing the line, how's this? Using an illegal supplement (using steroids without a valid prescription is illegal). Contact lenses? not illegal. Tommy john surgery? not illegal. Inject horse semen or whatever these idiots do? illegal.
I like the ken griffey jr. quote on this "I don't do steroids because I want to be playing with my kids when I'm 40, not in a wheelchair"
