The NFL has all but eliminated the Pro Bowl. It's obvious the powers that be want to 86 the All Star Game as well. $$$$$$$$$$$ is all that matters. Vince Lombardi said winning is everything. Wrong. $$$$$$$$$$$ is everything.

This board is largely populated by old men who want baseball to never change from their childhood dreams of being 10 years old. For years I’ve been reading here how baseball is dying, yet cable channels are clamoring to spend billions on this alleged “dying sport”. It’s like I am in an old folks home listening to a room of old men in various states of decline complaining that there hasn’t been a good move star since Humphrey Bogart died.

I will be at Citifield tonight enjoying this dying sport for another evening. The only issue is when I went to but tickets last night the stadium is about 98% sold out.

Change is one thing. Having a game end with a friendly pitcher serving up lollipops so his teammates can bash the ball over the fence is not baseball. Why don't they just put it on a tee? Actually, that would be like when I was a child.

Meet you halfway. It was an exhibition. Not a baseball game.
