The White Sox and their fans absolutely deserve each other By Nancy Gier Nancy Gier lives in Wheaton Published October 1, 2003 The regular baseball season is...
I think Jerry does want to win and I think he wishes more fans would show up. I wish I could get to more games, I can't always afford it and transportation is...
Could this be the same scenerio with Wood tonight as it was for Sutcliffe in 1984? Sutcliffe in 84 helped the Cubs win game 1 with his pitching and his bat....
ddever, welcome to the club. Looks like you have the right stuff to be here. Have fun at the game tonight and bring home a win for the Braves. And thanks for...
Anyone catch the Cubs game last night? LOL That was a classic! I was lucky to buy all the local newspapers and USA Today as a keepsake. Hopefully they will...
I'm sure there are some Cubs fans here....... this is for you, great season from this Kansas City fan..... "It breaks your heart. It is designed to break your...
Wise words you posted by another Bartman LOL. The irony is that if he was commish instead of the wuss baseball has now, the Cubs would have never made it this...
Yet another reason there should be some kind of salary constraint in Baseball. Mark <markphillips@...> wrote:Wise words you posted by another Bartman LOL....
Agreed that there should be some kind of restraint, but when it comes to labor talks, I'm amazed at the level of support by the fans on the players side as...
I say to that AMEN and Halleluia . Cub fans were just looking for another EXCUSE, they want an excuse how abot "St." Dusty was out managed by "Trader" Jack...
dave I used to usually always support the players, however when you have guys with a MINIMUM salary of around a million bucks striking I kind of started moving...
I don't really have a problem with the best players making a lot of money. After all they are the best players. That is who people tune in to see on TV, buy...
I agree that the best players deserve the best money and the most that they can make. But unless there is some kind of salary cap or at least some form of...
Well New York used to have three teams so maybe taking a team from a weak market like the Expos and putting it in NYC might help. My idea to correct this is...
I don't hear the NFL owners and players complain about capitalism........ their system made their sport the number one sport in the country. And speaking of...
This is what I always thought was wrong with arbitration, the arbitrator has to take one figure or the other, he can't pick between them or even tell a player...
Sorry I like tradition and I like some of the traditional rivalries, and basing divisions on finances, and abolishing the leagues and the geographic divisions...
Well the leagues would stay intact of course but the geographic divisions would go away. Just in the last two years we have seen two wildcard teams make it to...
It would be great if MLB could use the same system that the NFL uses but that just won't happen. Owners like Steinbrenner would never ever share their TV...
One of the reasosn you don't hear the NFL complain about capitalism is because they don't practice it. TV money is shared evenly across the league (akin to...
The whole idea of arbitration was to provide an incentive to avoid it. Hence take one or the other. Problem is it has degenertaed into the situation that the...
Under this idea though, the yanks would still be in the Series at least every other year. No other sport bases it's divisions like this, they're all...

True but no other sport is as screwed up as baseball. The geographic divisions wouldn't be relevant anyway doing it this way since every team would play the...
I actually prefer a more regional re-alignment and I like the unbalanced schedule. You still get a lot of the big $$ teams together by region..... use a...
Bottom line there needs to be more competitive balance in the league (such as exists in football) for the long term survivability of baseball. As the players...
So typical of a Cubs crowd to blame a fan for their loss...They should have never even been in the playoffs---but teams' luck runs out in the playoffs...
One mistake I made........ move the Reds or Pirates not the Twins........ wishful thinking took over I guess =) jwchancey@dstsyst ems.com To 10/22/2003 10:31...
