18 days and counting. Baseball\'s death......
« on: July 29, 2002, 12:18:24 PM »
Looks like the strike could happen as soon as 8/16.   Do they realize how hurt baseball is right now?  The players are really going to hurt themselves by striking.  I haven\'t followed baseball in the slightest since the last strike.  I watch highlights on ESPN and you very rarely see any resemblance to even a half filled stadium.

Baseball is dying.

8/16...  Do they even freaking realize that football season is beginning?  Who in the hell cares about baseball once football starts up?  

If they were going to strike they should have started the strike the week after the NBA playoffs.

i hope they do kill it, maybe a better sport will rise in baseball\'s place.

Speaking of new sports, has anyone seen the ads for SlamBall?  It might be really exciting, but then again it could also be a real stinker.  Unfortunetly for me, I think it premires during the same time as the 49ers preseason game :(

I don\'t even know what they\'re striking about...
July 2002: If you had bought $1000.00 worth of Nortel stock one year ago, it would now be worth $49.00. Enron, $16.50 left. Worldcom, $5.00 left. If you had bought $1,000.00 worth of Budweiser beer one year ago, drank it all and turned in the cans for the 10 cent deposit, you would have $214.00. Based on the above, my current investment advice is to drink heavily and recycle.

If baseball goes I won\'t be watching any pro sports then.  Pro basketball and football are a joke IMO.  Oh well there is always college sports.

Why watch baseball when you can watch SLAMBALL!  It\'s cool.  And by cool I mean stupid as hell.

I wonder what they\'re gonna do with all those stadiums when baseball finally goes away.  I used to be a big fan and played 3rd base in high school but watching someone else play is so boring.  And todays Major League players are greedy as$holes

Out of all people I know over the past ten years, outside of sports anchors and reporters, I\'d have to say that I know not one person with season tickets.  Not only that, but I only know a handful that even watch any games at all let alone actually follow a team.

I remember growing up we use to watch baseball all the time.  I just see it as a bunch of richies running around the field playing a kids game.  

There is absolutely no reason for some of these players to make the money they do.

They say that it\'s what the market will bare and that if people pay to see this guy then he deserves the money.  Well who is paying?  The stands are empty!!!
