| Posted By: Mark Posted On: Aug 29, 2002 Views: 57 | I Think The Owners Will Cave.. As much as I despise the modern day ball player, I am equally disgusted with the owners as well. When you really stop to think about it, nobody ever put a gun to the head of Texas Rangers owner Tom Hick's head, for example, and told him to pay A-ROD a QUARTER OF A BILLION DOLLARS.??!!?? Think of the number of times a player under contract threatened to sit out spring training unless his contract was renegotiated because somebody in the off season signed a contract that paid him $10 more a year than he was making. And instead of the owner calling the player's bluff and not paying him, he caves and renegotiates the contract. If I was an owner and a player threatened to renege on his contract, he wouldn't receive a dime from me. He could sit home, for all I care, watch soap operas and not play an inning for me. Of course, there would be no shortage of other owners who would be only too happy to sign somebody like that, especially if he was one of those great players who can hit .250 with 12 HRS and 45 RBI. A player like that would be a steal for only 7 or 8 million a year..!!!!!! The whole bunch of them make me sick to my stomach and it is my fervent hope that they do strike and this time - MAYBE THIS TIME - the fans really mean it when they talk about how fed up they are and decide to stay away from the game - PERMANENTLY..!!!! I couldn't care less though - FOOTBALL starts next week. |
