Here's a question for Bud: If all these teams are losing money why are the franchise values keep on going higher and higher??? These numbers are bogus. For example, how much does the owner pay himself. When a media company owns the team like FOX owns the Dodgers FOX can arbitrarily decide how much money it pays for their own right to broadcast Dodger games. FOX can decide to pay the Dodgers $1 for the broadcast rights since they are just shuffling money from the right to left pocket.

Bud Selig has been the baseball commissioner forever it seems. Why? How exactly is he pleasing the owners wherein they keep him to infinity? He's their puppet and seems to me that the owners want somethin' so Mr. Selig goes to Washington. Do they want a bailout now? Are they looking for baseball welfare?
