I agree that Griffey is the better player overall, but I still think the other 2 belong in the HOF as long as they are never proved to have taken steroids.

True ... but how much money do you really need when you already have a 100 million dollar contract? The incentive no longer really exists.
I realize that our lives are entirely different, but, "How do you know when you have enough money ? .... Do we not continue to work to make money as we grow old ?

Griffey saved baseball in Seattle. He should return to where he is loved. And make no mistake, he is held in higher regard here than anywhere else.
A-Rod read Faust the day before he chose his agent. The results have been predictable since then.
Randy Johnson is a mean spirited SOB. Gotta love that in a pitcher!
Just some random thoughts from Hootersville.
Why do you say that?? Simple capitalism. IF someone thought YOU were the best at what you do, and offer you a ton of money.....are YOU, ME or anyone else gonna say no?!! You guys that are so against the players getting as much as they can while they can, should be drug tested because ALL OF YOU would do the same. You should be bitching about owners that hold cities and states hostage with baseball blackmail disguised as 'petitioning for a ballpark'....
I am a little disappointed in you Side, for someone that champions the conservative mantra of capitalism, you seem to want to put a 'lid' on what a ballplayer should make.....sounds awfully communistic to me....
Wait, does that word "communistic" even exist? LOL Look, plain and simple...every professional athlete demands that their agent get the best possible deal available....if an owner is stupid enough to pay...well, that his HIS fault, not the players. My wife and I got into a similar argument the other day. She was complaining about how the airlines can sell seat 15a at $250 to Chicago in one website/travel agent...and the next seat can sell for $900..... I told her very simple, there is always one moron that is ALWAYS willing to pay it.......same difference when it comes to professional athletes.
Salsa, you got it right on all counts- supply and demand, and what the market will bear. It always amazes me what people would rather have than money in the bank.
The Reds aren't in last place by themselves anymore. They have the Astros to keep them company and the Pirates are only a 1/2 game ahead. If both the Astros and Pirates lose their next game they could be in 4th by themsleves. Yeah, one place at a time.
I wounder who is gonna be the worst in the devision, I'm taking Astros.
Sounds good to me.

Welcome football so you can root for another losing team.

They had a 8-8 record, that's not losing, it's not winning but it's not losing.
But they STILL lost to my LOWLY Jokeland Faiders.....
And personally, THAT lost might have cost them a playoff spot.....
