there are plenty of players today who do give a shit. you say you have love for Manny because he's an ex Indian.. guess what? He left Cleveland to go to the money..he left Boston to go somewhere hoping his options for $20 million a year would be picked up. This is exactly what you are ranting against.
The Boston organization and others have decided to go against this trend and they continually hone and develop their farm team.
I have no issues with being in love with players that you grew up with.. but sit down and really watch the game today.. without the blinders of business or nostalgia and you'll find that the beauty is still there.
and you know better than this. I have no feelings of some control. I called you bitter. that's not a personal attack..it's an attack on how you feel about the game. you can degrade my opinions all you want. So please, stop the veiled attacks and the martyr syndrome, and try to see the game for what it really is..

And you missed the whole point of the last part of my last post..... why?
I give up trying to explain. But that part that DJ quoted and you seemed to just miss.... was very therapeutic for me. Guess I needed to get it out. Been through a lot in the last 5 years, tends to make one nostalgic, you know when life seemed simpler and easier.... wasn't but seems that way at times.
I could have saved hundreds doing that post instead of going to a shrink and in the end having him tell me the reason why my mom tried to commit suicide when she was pregnant with me was to try to kill me and I have never felt adequate since.
Stopped going after that.
