you can trace everything that is wrong with baseball right back to the fact that there is no salary cap (and because it’s a boring, worthless, no-talent sport with overpaid prima donna players that are all on roids). the big market teams can go out and buy themselves all-star teams, and small market teams are supposed to be able to compete. I can’t remember which year it was, but it was fairly recent… A-Rod was making more money than the entire Pirates starting lineup. Then since your team sucks, everyone loses interest, then you can’t make the money you need to be able to buy enough talent to be competitive, hence not having a season where you win more than half your games for 20 years. It’s absolutely retarded.
