there's no double-standard. it's merely that the all-star game isn't to have a tie. That a promotional game to push the sport needs to have a winner, and they need to keep to that....just like the past ones. That two moronic managers over-extended their staff isn't the fans fault. They all embarassed themselves. Maybe two reserves, one batter & one pitcher, need to be there as a just-in-case. Now, for protecting your players...sure. But, these players now are so pampered. Fuckin skipping the all-star game b/c of blisters...etc. The older players would piss on these babies. What's clear here is that the baseball audience is tired of the player and owner shennanigans, thus their reaction to the game. It's warranted and deserved. These players do less and less, and get paid more and more. Hockey, Football and Basketball players deserve to make double these dipshits make.

Not for nothing, but what was up with Randy Johnson skipping out to spend time with his family? When you're a professional athlete, you do so knowing you won't get to spend as much time with your family as you may like...deal with it.
- Keyser Soze - 07-10-2002
November, December, January, Febuary, and April arent enough time to spend with family? Give me a break. The old school players make these guys look like the biggest bunch of fairies.
This is truly the pussification of Baseball.
- Gooch - 07-10-2002
I suggest that we no longer call Baseball a sport. Shuffleboard players put in more time and effort these days than the pampered snots that call themselves baseball players, and the soul-sucking whoresons that call themselves owners. Selig is just the fans target to the bigger problem of the sport as a whole...however, he himself is in over his head, and should have never been in that position in the firstplace. They need a commisioner who is a commisioner of the GAME, not of the baseball owners needs.

I so agree with Keyser and Gooch on this one.
Oh no I can't pitch a few more innings because I'll blow my arm and have to deal with living on millions of dollars. A man can't live on millions of dollars. He needs a few dozen million dollars to make him comfortable. Bunch of overrated cocksmokers.

Who decides the standard of how much a person can live on?
If it's what a person "can" live on, then, you've got a shitload of money to give away there AM, since I'm sure a lot of what you spend your money isn't a necessity.
If it's just some arbitrary "Oh, that's too much money for a person to have", it's bullshit. Who is supposed to set that standard?
God bless everyone who makes money and earns it (by earning it, I mean that they are paid because people willingly give it to them in a legal and moral manner -- athletes, honest business people, teachers, etc)
The reason people hate the rich is simply because of jealousy
- AdolescentMasturbator - 07-10-2002
I hate whiny ass bitches that don't understand that they make millions of dollars playing a GAME and then don't throw a bone to the fans.
- Keyser Soze - 07-10-2002
I have no problem with them making millions and millions of dollars.
I have a problem with them being half the men that those 40+ years ago were who made a fraction of what they make now, inflation adjusted.
Todays players are straight up bitches.
I'll even set aside the fact they make a ton of money, they are still a bunch of whiny bitches.

Yeah, jealousy. That's it. We are jealous of their money that they made a sport so much of a business and took out Baseball's teeth that it's gummed maw could barely get past a....gasp...11 inning game. That baseball players have become primmadonnas who do less and less, and gain more and more. That the Yankees have almost $100 MILLION more difference than the Devil Rays payroll. Baseball is as menacing than Ted William's half-frozen rotting carcass. And the players take off or miss a start for gout, blisters, splinters, toothaches, etc. I see hockey players who play with the flu, snot flying, their faces red and drawn...playing ten times a physical game. Baseball has become a sissy game for sissies...and anyone with half a ball-sack (ok Pollyanna, maybe half a breast :fuggin: ) should be fuckin outraged of what was already said, but needs to be said again:
PUSSIFICATION
Baseball has been pussified. I wonder when the pink uniforms will be handed out.
You play the game for ONE reason...
TO WIN. End of story.

No denying that the players back ages ago were tougher and other athletes are tougher too, but I sitll stand steadfast that ending the game was the right thing to do. Pitching when you are not physically ready to do so is dangerous.
And putting pitchers back in that already pitched is also a risky move.
- Keyser Soze - 07-10-2002
You know what, back in the day there was no bullpen. Pitchers pitched 9 inning games AND THEY LIKED IT. The whole idea of a bullpen is just another example of the pussification of the game.
Ok, i've gone too far. But it certainly is true that pitchers had way more endurance back in the day than they do now. That, my friends, is pussification.
- AdolescentMasturbator - 07-10-2002
Shit they used to pitch 9 innings, didn't have a bullpen AND didn't have 5 starters.
- Galt - 07-10-2002
They also threw about 80 miles an hour
- AdolescentMasturbator - 07-10-2002
I could throw 110 mph too if I was steroids for the past 10 years of my life and had an arm bigger than the empire state building.
- The Sleeper - 07-11-2002
The fact is that they were unprepared for the circumstances, and it made them look like idiots. The fact that Torre, Sileg, and Brenly had to have a conference for a half an hour in the middle of an inning on what to do is an atrocity and makes them look foolish. When you start making rules on the fly in a proffessional sport, you look dumb, simple as that. In a year that is about to turn suicidal for baseball, the last thing they needed was something like this to happen in an All-Star game. How do you expect players, owners, and Selig to resolve their economic issues when they can't even resolve an All-Star game?
