Steve was waived by Sparky Anderson and then ranted:


 SQ> Cross your fingers, as they're going to need it, with the Stars and the
 SQ> Mavs both doing so well.  I saw they had a fantastic turnout for tickets
 SQ> -- Arod is already a big hit around here, and he was at the
 SQ> Mavs/Warriors game I attended the other night -- so let's hope we've got
 SQ> a winner at long last.

I'm an A's fan so don't expect me to wish you luck.:-)

I'm SO sick of the media. After Jeter signed with the Yankees, Mike Celizic, a 
free lance writer from New York working for MSNBC, took more stabs at A-Rod and 
said that Jeter proved that he was all about winning and not money because he 
re-signed with the Mariners. Well, last year those same media boobs were crying 
about how the Mariners were going down fast because they gave up Junior and got 
so "little" in return and now, you'd think that they were the second coming of 
the Yankees and A-Rod had left them high and dry. Excuse me but weren't those 
Rangers winners of 95 games the year before while the Mariners won only 79? 
Seems to me that it doesn't take much to turn a franchise's fortunes around in 
that division and the Rangers are just as close to 1st place as ANY team.

I hate Selig and the other "small" market whiners. The Rangers and Indians are 
perfect example of former "small" market teams that turned it around. It wasn't 
too long ago when both were losers on the field and on the general ledger. I 
think that Texas had no choice but to go after a guy like A-Rod and I don't 
think that they overpaid.
