I don’t see how anyone with a drop of patriot blood could watch these sport commies dis our flag without throwing a brick through the TV screen.

The depths to which MLB has fallen make me want to VOMIT. I’m done with them... forever. And when I say forever, I mean it. I’m hardcore FOREVER!

I used to be a fan, I really did, but if I want a sermon I go to church. MLB’s problem is the same as the NFL’s - you give people back the time they used to spend on you and they find better ways to spend it.

“Former Giants fan?”

$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$

Since 1963. But I’m done with all team sports now - pro and college.

Not gonna give them a dime, not gonna speak a positive syllable about them, not gonna visit their websites.

I gave up on ALL Sports after seeing what they did to Steve Garvey for cheating on the Family Channel’s little darling, his Wife Cindy. Then almost immediately, if you didn’t Beat your Wife, Have 2-3 Baby Momma’s and on Parole for a Felony, All tatted up with Gang Tattoo’s and live the Thug Life you weren’t cut out for Pro Sports.

what they paint in the dirt is beside the point. there are japanese language ads behind home plate at (whatever they call) angel’s field, where they also sold the back of the pitcher’s mound to (it appears) a tire company.

the guy that wrote this needs to stop looking for sh*t to get his panties in a twist.

They should just have a pitching machine and give the lineup 3 swings, that's about how exciting it is.

Same here, but they repulsed me in 1994 with a called third strike and Series cancellation.

Exactly. Spoiled, ignorant, and childish. Ted Williams fought in WW 2 and Korea... and was half Mexican by the way. If one of his teammates disrespected the flag? Career ending injuries would happen immediately.

Great article which is a good reflection of my sentiments.

We have to destroy MLB to save it.

Hell they lost me on the boredom factor alone about 12-14 years ago. And I used to pitch when I was a kid and played softball into my 40’s. MLB jumped the shark during the 90’s; it took me about 10 years to let it go.
