Baseball is getting ready for there 9th walkout in the last thirty years.:mad: While on strike, do you think they will solve anything or just put a bandaid on things. I'll will not watch again unless they come up with a salary cap or some form of revenue sharing.
 
If/when they strike, I am done with MLB forever. I'll keep my Rangers jersey, I'll peep at the AL West standings about once a month, but that's it. There's plenty of money to go around, and there's plenty of blame for the mess things are in to go around too.
 
I agree with TN-Ward. I just went to a Braves game while I was in SC on vacation. I got a new shirt and took some pics of the stadium. Could be my first and last time at Turner field. I was so excited cause I hadn't been to a game since they started using Turner Field. The deadline for the strike pretty much rained on my parade. I'm done if they strike. I'll keep my hat, shirt, and I'll peek in on stats but I'm done if they strike.......:mad:
 
I have never been a huge baseball fan. So if they strike for the next 5 years it will not bother me. After all Nascar is winding down and collage and pro football are cranking up. Who cares about the over paid steriods junkies.
 
For the 9th time in the last thirty years. They lost me the second time and except for the Series last year hadn't watched a game in years. So you "poor little rich boys" strike away, you already struck out here!!!!
 
What sucks about this is my Twins are finally having a decent season...and it's probably gonna be over tonight :(
 
It's obvious that the players have forgotten about playing the game and have gone after the money. I haven't been to a game since the last strike. Have almost quit watching it altogether.

*edited for that pesky 'e' that sneaked into "quit" * LOL
 
I went to a Yankee game a month or so ago, and used to go to Met games all the time as a kid, but I've since grown away from the sport. Ticket prices are so outrageous, and Yankee tickets in particular are so difficult to come by unless you know someone (which I did), that I don't understand how your average fan even gets to go to ballgames these days, let alone with his entire family.

It's disgusting what greed has done to the sport of baseball. I suspect, if there is any sort of extended strike, that only diehard fans, like my father, will continue to follow it. So sad. :(
 
Yeah, that's the sad part. American kids need to grow up playing baseball, NOT I repeat NOT Communist Kickball.
 
These "poor" children playing stick and ball games lost me with the last strike. Back in 1980, a AAA player's minimum salary was $137,000.
 
The whole system is corrupt and out of touch with reality, but it's what we got. I don't have the answer, but this is why I don't like the Pro Sports scene. The importance and money that television have brought with it have taken the sport out of it, I'd prefer a good sandlot or little league game. It's much more about baseball.
 
Thats the way that sports are. The players want so much money that it gets the better of them. Most of the time, the players get their paychecks before they perform, so in other words they could slack off and be lazy and get payed for it.
