  • That puts baseball right up there with the NBA now. I'm pretty thoroughly disgusted with both right now, and since the hockey lockout began, I'm pretty fed up with them too.

    Thank goodness we still have college and semi-professional sports. While they still have their problems, they are enjoyable to watch and don't suffer from quite the same level of corruption as professional sports (well, the BCS rankings aside).
