Players are the show. Players put fannies in the seats.

MLB has to rein in the managers. They have systematically worked to de-nut umpires over the last six years. If they don't in turn limit the managers conduct, umpires will be nothing but doormats before long.

The days are different, the times they are a-changing. Earl Weaver wouldn't survive today.

Get used to it.
I agree. Entertainment is one thing but to let it get completely out of control will turn MLB into the NBA. Steroids were ignored for so many years because the MLB thought that is what the fans wanted, entertainment. Now look where we are with it.

I want to see good baseball played at the highest levels, not grown men acting like spoiled children.
