Say Anything Blog

Stop watching professional sports either on TV or in person and do not buy any item that has a logo from a professional sport team or league.

When enough people do that (as I have), then we will see the salaries drop along with the ridiculous ticket prices.

10 miles south of third base in Yankee Stadium are rooms full of guys trading Other Peoples Money on computer screens and making more money than A-Rod.

Most of them would walk out of their jobs if they could
play the hot corner in the Bronx.
What do you think they’d pay for a
BA .314
OBP .422
SLG .645
?

ELVIS WILL ALWAYS BE THE KING!!!! He started it all! He may have passed but will always be remembered as the King of Rock n Roll!

no one player is worth that much money to play a sort. how r u gona pay sombody as much as a whole team is nd he makes more by himself over his years than the devil rays team. come on now that is ridiculous. i rather spend $250 million on a team of players. but hey what can i say because if that was me i would be living life

He will always be the king. Hes a legand and always will be.

no one player is worth that much money to play a sort

I don’t agree.  If I’m running a business, and I could hire a guy for $30 million/year and he turns around and helps my business make $60 million/year...why wouldn’t I do that?

Baseball is a business, and A-Rod is a talented enough player to lift a lot of teams into contention.  Which means significantly more money for team owners.

Rob’s recently listened-to songs:

"Stop watching professional sports either on TV or in person and do not buy any item that has a logo from a professional sport team or league.”

I gave up all professional sports(?)years ago.

It was amazing how much extra time I had to enjoy things I really liked to do. Nap, scratch and pick at body parts, play with the animals, watch Martha Stewart.

Sometimes I will watch professional Poker(Texas Hold’em on ESPN.) For the viewer, is that a sport or a bad habit?

I’m with Rob on this one. Subjectively, you can say no one is worth that kind of money, but the calculus is fannies in the seats! At the arena, at the movie theater in front of the boob tube...the more fannies, the more the money rolls in!

Better to have it and not need it than need it and not have it.

The players on any pro sports team, like the employees of any other company, are worth what the owners are willing to pay them.  Period.

And beyond that, it’s really nobody else’s business who gets paid what.

“Poverty of goods is easily cured; poverty of the mind is irreparable.”

like the employees of any other company, are worth what the owners are willing to pay them.

Much like the Say Anything All Stars!

A-Rod is a good union.

Remember when players
got nowhere near their worth?

Much like the Say Anything All Stars!

LOL, whatever.. I am here out of the generosity of my heart and money is of no matter to me.

"Paris” AKA “anthony” AKA “Brittney” AKA “Julien” AKA “Pedro Tapatio” AKA “D uN3T” = pick a name and stick with it. There’s no need to change your name back and forth like that. It gets a little ridiculous when you agree with yourself in some of the threads. You may have multiple personalities that all happen to spell atrociously, but I assure you that you are only one person.

likwidshoe: I do so enjoy whenever you “out” the sockpuppets!
Sorry, Rob! But that might just be my favorite feature on this blog! Something about deflating the self-important…

Better to have it and not need it than need it and not have it.

And tonight, we had a double feature!

Better to have it and not need it than need it and not have it.

I enjoy it as well Proof. When I see a bunch of comments coming from people who we’ve never seen before, it usually means one of two things - that we’ve been linked somewhere that is sending a lot of traffic, or sockpuppetry. I first check for sockpuppetry because it is so common.

Let it be stated for the record that shared IP addresses are common on school networks and one IP with different usernames is by no means proof. That said, it’s not common for a bunch of people on a shared network to all decide to comment at the same blog, in the same posts, in the same time frame, using the same inane spelling mistakes. There’s just too much of a coincidence there. It is possible that one class or library group of horrendous spellers all decided to sit down and comment at Say Anything blog, but it’s not likely.

I’ll give this one credit for keeping the various e-mail addresses in order. Most sockpuppets don’t even bother to take care of that detail.

Pilgrim:

when I think about a baseball player with the ridiculous nickname of A-Rod bailing out of a contract worth over TWO HUNDRED AND FIFTY Million Dollars because it isn’t enough

LOL… I am from Seattle Mariner area and you can bet your sweet bippy A-Rod ain’t playin for any team reason. A-Ho..err A-Rod is out for himself and self-pocket stuffin only.
You’re right Rob, (although sadly), baseball is a business just like anything else can be. With that in mind, let’s look into hiring Randi Rhodes… she’ll no doubt bring in the readers or how about that ol’ Schultz putz, or Paris Hilton...Britney Spears? Rational is no matter as long as it’s good for you.

Baseball is a going to be a money maker regardless of hiring the not so ethical players like A-Rod.
In my opinion, he is worth… less than the gum under the stadium seats
