If a bunch of -how many- young men brainwashed into hatred so much so that they can take over an entire city of 18 million or so, they must have a whole other agenda. They know for sure that there is supposed to be around a 4 million turn out at the inauguration, it's old news. Like shooting fish in a barrel isn't it? I'll stay in Lake Havasu AZ, thank you, and fish for bass or striper. Eyes wide open if your going I'd say.

Citibank has to pay the money for the naming rights to the new Stadium becuase they are already in a contract situation to do so that goes back a few years. The only way Citibank could get out of paying the naming rights fee is to declare bankruptcy which is what the gov't is trying to avoid. I agree with this and I am a Yankees fan :).

If your willing to give Pacman Jones chance after chance, why not give Cuban a chance, lighten up MLB.

Professional sports is all about the money. It used to be you could take the family to a game four or five times a season. Not any more. Players get rediculous salaries for poor performance. Take your Cubies for instance. I'm a Sox fan but I was rooting for the Cubs to go to the World Series. I guess those multi-million dollar players could care less. They still get their money and the fans get nothing. I stopped watching professional sports on a regular basis. I would much rather watch college baseball, softball and football. These athetes play for the sport. Most of these kids know they won't make it to the big time, but they'er out there busting their butt anyway. David from mi has hit the nail on the head.

That is why it's such a surprise that they don't want Cuban in the game. Bad enough that they turned their backs on fans by doing away with the Hall of Fame Game. That game was taking away too much money from the baseball parks that the taxpayers built, but from which the owners reap the rewards. It is owner control of the game that will kill it. I already can't afford to go let along take my sons out to a game. It is obviously cliche' to say that MLB only cares about the money angle.
