I couldn't agree more. And on top of what you mentioned...the hypocrisy in MLB is shameful. Like it or leave it...there is an inconsistent manner in dealing with the issues like steroids...amphetamines...betting, etc. Bonds has been denied his retirement coming out party so to speak...Clemens has...well...actually...enough said on Clemens...McGwire won't comment but we assume he is guilty...Manny is back...A-Rod...Big Papi...etc...all hanging around. It's a sham. And Selig soooo made Pete Rose his little beotch...and still hasn't made a decision...again...after pomising one...again. If these people are going to be allowed to stay in the game and be recognized...then Bonds and Rose deserve their day as well. HYPOCRISY IS THE ORDER OF THE DAY IN MLB! Thanks, Stevo...just needed to get that off my chest. Now...who's on first, what's on second...and I don't know is on third! Take me back to when baseball was fun.

stevoinHtown.....now i tend to agree...but i still say baseball needs to be sped a bit why??? very simple a intentional walk??? why must the pitcher throw 4 pitches??? yea many would say well what if the pitcher threw a strike??? INTENTIONAL WALK????? just put the guy on......
the other?? why not time the batter??? all this in and out of the box??? boring takes up to much time.....
