I understand if your heart lives and dies with the logo because you've been a fan your whole life, but what continues to happen over and over again in baseball is really obscene.

Baseball is the sport I love the most. I could give up all other sports but not this. And to see this happen is breaking my heart.


Blibble, I agree almost to the word with what you so perfectly expressed. With that in mind, I love baseball. Sure, it's slow to watch on tv, but to me it's pure theater on a field.

Maybe I should say I loved baseball. I've been a Red Sox fan for over 40 years and I must admit I don't like what they've become in the last few years - they've become mini-Yankees.

This whole giant payroll thing has ruined the game. I will no longer go to a major league game (unless I'm given free tickets blush ).
