Right or wrong, there has always been the, "have" and, "have-nots" in MLB. It usually wasn't an issue; prior to 1994 that is. After the strike, however, the, "have's" desperate to regain attendance and popularity figures pre-strike, loosened the purse strings (or in this case opened Pandora's box) to build instant contenders or overpay their current players to keep them from hitting the open market. The chasm in baseball is sickeneing. A simple web search of payroll versus winning percentage over the past 15 years speaks volumes. So while you're in a position to say that baseball is doing great, the grass isn't so green on the other side.

Haven't watched baseball since the strike back in 94-95 I'll forgive the NFL players because this is a lock out, not a strike. |

You sure about that? How else could Pujols be asking for $300 million if no one was watching.
![]() Looks like no one will be watching NFL if they don't get their act together.
