But when baseball people tell me about how the game is timeless, there is one level on which I wholeheartedly agree. One thing about baseball that never changes is the fact that, when they get together, the owners of the ballclubs can be counted on to be the most mendacious, clumsy, and transparently greedy collection of gombeens into which god ever blew breath. The past couple months have been proof enough of this eternal truth.

Which it sort of hard on Abelard -- though castrate them instead of him seems a good idea.
I favor spaying and neutering sports team owners.
