The WBC this week springs directly from that strategy.

They are allowed their greed and I am allowed to turn my back on the game (which I pretty much have after living and dying with it through the 70's and 80's.)
I meant willful neglect in terms of their caretaking of the beauty and integrity of the game itself, not of revenues or franchise financial health.
My opinions are really just the grumblings of a bitter ex-fan and don't really mean anything. whatever this crap is they are selling now is making a whole lot more money than the game of baseball I used to love. But the day Bonds' name goes above Aaron's in the record book is the day they may as well take a big piss on the record book, IMO.
