Exactly...baseball is so eff'd competitively that all they can sell is numbers - Stewie Aug 4, 18:15 19
- Merriman should not be held up as an example of football getting something right. Ever. -- nm - TFox Aug 4, 18:18 1
  - He could always go with the Manny excuse. "It's not like I murdered or raped someone" Paraphrased -- nm - Redmond Aug 4, 18:21
- I don't get the Merriman dig...baseball put Manny out longer than merriman did and Manny won't get close to MVP. -- nm - Will Hunting Aug 4, 18:16 10
  - when they caught him for at least the second time...6 years after what we know as the first -- nm - Stewie Aug 4, 18:43 3
    - when they caught him for the first time in a test that was actually linked to his name, when there were punishments in place, sure. - TFox Aug 4, 18:52 2
      - so they get a pass for not having punishments in place, when they knew it was a problem, and were lining their pockets off illegal drug use - Stewie Aug 4, 19:14 1
        
        nah, i just followed my heart. -- nm - TFox Aug 4, 19:16
  - 50 game suspensions in the NFL would be career enders. - the wrong element, bad guy Aug 4, 18:31 5
    - I get to play in the minors! Yippee! I just love the game! -- nm - Manny si Aug 4, 18:42 1
      - Not as good for him, but good for the Dodgers. - the wrong element, bad guy Aug 4, 19:01
    - 50 games out of 162 = higher % than 4 out of 16. Manny was penalized more than Merriman. -- nm - Will Hunting Aug 4, 18:41 2
      - I know, but not that much. 5 games would be close. - the wrong element, bad guy Aug 4, 19:03 1
        
        the only real point that matters here is... - TFox Aug 4, 19:03
- I think the lack of a salary cap hurts baseball the most. -- nm - Redmond Aug 4, 18:16 5
  - Utter boringness hurts baseball the most. -- nm - Beryllium Aug 4, 18:17 4
    - You just described soccer. -- nm - Redmond Aug 4, 18:18 3
      - Well, that too. But, like baseball, the desolate tapestry of boringness is occassionally punctuated by some action. -- nm - Beryllium Aug 4, 18:21 2
        
        My top 5 favorite sports to watch. NFL, College Football, NBA, College Basketball, and Golf - Redmond Aug 4, 18:23 1
        
        I'll watch baseball until the playoffs. I don't care as much once the playoffs start. - the wrong element, bad guy Aug 4, 18:33
