Contraction

[ErikV]

I'd like to see baseball downsize. Is it likely, probably not.
With all the talk about expanding the playoffs, I just don't
see contraction happening. I for one think baseball isn't
doing as well as the establishment would lead us to believe.
Look at the financial woes of teams like the Dodgers, Mets
and Rangers. Just yesterday this article was in the Wall
Street Journal.

I'd also like to see the end of the All-Star Game. Fox ratings
for the ASG was even lower than last years' and was the
the worst ASG rating ever. With players not wanting to
give it their all, and now not even wanting to show up,
what's the use in having an All Star Game at all?

With the economy being what it is, and teams in financial
straights, the lack of ratings, it's a good time to downsize,
but again, I'm very doubtful it will even happen.
