The problem is too much spring training.

Late snow season to early snow season is a long time. I remeber the M's and the Indians getting snowed out at the begining of a season once. Colorado gets snowed out often. I think the season is a bit long but I'm used to it.

I'm going with the spankies (4-2) for the series. What your pick?

Phillies to sweep

Yes. But all the major sports seasons have become too long. It's not about the good of the game. It's all about bleeding a little more money out of each sport. That's what keeps me from being a professional sports fan. It's more about money than about excellence. Now that's no way to start a day off.

Salmo. I take it you don't watch movies either,or listen to music? The musicans actors and athletes are doing what they love and making a fortune at it. Can you blame them? Just because there is greed involved doesn't mean I'm going to stop listening to the Stones. And maybe Barry Bonds is a rich steroid taking a$$hole,but I still loved watching him in the batters box.


Damn hippies

Avid,

Yeah, I do watch movies and listen to music. But I have limits. I've cut way back on visits to the movie theater because they force feed paying customers damn TV commercials. I won't pay $9 for a ticket AND watch the fvkin' commercials. That's over my limit. I listen to music and buy a few CDs, but I don't attend many concerts because I'm generally unwilling to pay $130 a seat to sit 150' or more away from the performance. That's over my limit.

And I watch a few pro games. I enjoy excellence at just about anything. But I've only been to SAFECO FIELD once, cuz I don't want to pay what the players are getting for salaries. I enjoy sports, but I vote with my wallet when it makes sense to me.

Whataya' mean, "damn hippies?" Doesn't make any more sense out of context than "damn capitalists." I don't have a problem with anyone doing what they love; I think that's a good thing. Nor do I have a problem with them making a living, even a good one, doing what they love. That's an even better thing. But I don't have to support uber-million $$ a year salaries, whether it's actors, musicians, or athletes, so I don't.
