I'll agree that salaries are way too inflated, but there's still a majority of players that love the game and give it all they have. Just because they don't look like a madman running the bases like Pete doesn't mean they aren't giving their all.
It's funny you talk so much shit about Cleveland. Really.. what's so bad about them? All teams have a bad year no matter what talent they have.. shit, look at Detroit and the Yanks. Loaded with talent but nothing to show for it. I may talk shit about Boston when they are down, but that doesn't mean I wouldn't go watch them play. If anything is wrong with the game, it's fans that expect too much. I think we forget ballplayers are human just like the rest of us.
now for the cubbies.. I said I was waiting for self destruct mode to kick in.. and it may have just started.  |
Have you been watching the Indians this year? Have you been listening to the beat reporters or reading their articles? You do that then we'll talk about 100% or not.
Jealousy and m age have nothing to do with how I view baseball today. Hell, a few years (maybe a decade ago), Sandy Alomar decked his brother Robbie in the locker room and asked "why you no play baseball hard". It was covered here for quite awhile.
