well, if they tried an insurrection as your brothers did...perhaps we will.

Damn dude...get over it. Your blob lost. You guys tried to overturn the election. You didn’t. You guys got arrested, tried, convicted, and in some cases, incarcerated.

This is the way the system of justice works.

i just cant see the games being fixed....

I know. I said I used to think it was happening but not so much in these more modern days.

lol....i bet everyone here still follows their team and checks up on the scores....even back in the early days people bitched about the umps....

Nope. I used to watch all the time and read boxscores and stories and even go to games (but 1995-2002?). Now I do almost a monthly glance. I will wait for playoffs then watch every pitch I can get to the TV for probably.

Only the Umpires "in on it" was ever my thought. They always favored Big Market teams or so it seemed. All calls went for NYY etc.

But aound mid 2000s' I began to think otherwise, HD replays from all angles.....the UMPS had to be somewhat cleaned up. Teams like STL beat NYM or TB/OAK beat big teams repeatedly. Maybe not as bad now as it was at one time. Like the George Brett pine tar bat saga costing KC a game and many series vs. NYY went one way.

if a team is good,whether they be big market or small....they will win and make the playoffs.....some will choke others may win it all.....

Automatic balls and strikes can't get here soon enough. It seems like nearly all the games except the occasional showcase game is pay per view.

I think they're going through try it in the minors maybe next season? Though I can see the umpire's union fighting it due to job losses.

I don't mind players making lots of cash. If they don't get it, the owners will get it.
