NON OMNIS MORIAR

Alex Rodriguez is a very rich man...

arod will either sign with texas or go back to the mariners.

i was actually kinda wishin his greed would take him out, and have no one pick him up this year.

and, i was hoping the yankees would do something to get manny ramirez.

i have spoken

...maybe theyll take Griffey off our hands....

25 mil. i cant frickin believe that. AROD is an incredible talent, but... is he worth THAT much? how many people have actually heard of manny ramirez? $20/year's worth? i mean, i know the guy is great, but...

this is the part of sports that sickens me. and, sadly, i see no way out of it. AROD should have been shot for his demands (the cash is one thing. its fine, even. but, he had a list that included things like season tickets for his friends and family, his own personal jet to fly between games, his own convenience stand to sell his products within the stadium, deluxe accomodations in hotels during away games... he'll make 25 mil PER YEAR!!! get yer own tickets!!)

Who cam blame AROD for wanting to live like a Kamphausen board moderator....

ahh, but, baseball is but a game...

...message board moderating... its an endless war...

The Labor/Owner Armeggeddon begins....

The MLB is a bloated beast that will cannabalize itself within the next ten years. This is part of the reason I refuse to go to Wrigley Field anymore. $65,000,000 payroll and they still lose 90 games...what a fuckin' joke...

delgado got a shitload of money too

well....considering he's toronto's only good player

I always love the supposed arguement "Well there career is so short and they have to retire so young."

If that is the case there are a few options

1) Choose a different career.
2) This is the REAL reason you should be in college consider a second career option to suppliment.
3) Invest the money you make wisely, dont spend it all on fast cars and loose women! (on second thought go ahead but dont come crying to me, I would nt be cryng to you if I had your money).
4) If you are actually a good player someone will want you to sponsor your product.
5) Become an actor, if Dennis Rodman can do it so can Jennifer Lopez.

Ah...baseball salary caps, the only thing that can save the game right now...
