You're right. They know what the deal is. Management often finds things not covered by CBA's and exploits them until unions gets tired of it. Don't be suprised if the next round of labor talks includes this practice.[/QUOTE]


Here's how the ML value umpires, the 60 or so regular umps don't make combined in one year as much as AROD does.[/QUOTE]

Gee, that is surprising.

Guess what? Brain surgeons make more than hospital cafeteria workers.

By the way, did you know that BIll Gates makes more than the people who answer the phone for Micwosoft Tekinol Suppot?

Major League Umpires make the amount of money that they AGREED to work for. Good grief....cry me a river.

Joe in Missouri

yeahbut AROD has to boink Madonna... blech

It's pocket change compared to what the players make.

Yes! The players make more. THEY are the reason tickets are sold. The umpires are not revenue generators for the league.

Yabut.....how much is he getting paid for it?

I bet if you added up the salaries of all the people boinking Madonna, it would be a heckuva lot more than what A-Rod makes(in his career).

This thread wins the award for "Least worthy to go to 6 pages."

Boinking Madonna? Schwiiiiing! We're not worthy, we're not worthy!

Hey AROD...did you forget that you're, uh, MARRIED?:(

Ummmm, wellllllll.... maybe not....

As far as I know A-Rod and his wife are getting along fairly well:
