Kind of blew up in everyone's face, so now there's something of a program. The fact that the owners let it get to that point is inexcusable, and of course they were profiting, since the whole post-strike strategy was to gin up offense to draw the fans, who apparently prefer cartoon-like home runs to well-pitched, tight baseball games.

Agreed on all points. It just makes me sick that everyone in baseball knew what was going on and was okay with it. But now, everyone who is not a player is shocked, dismayed, hurt, betrayed and angry because of these awful players. Hicks' statement yesterday was my tipping point. It's the ovewhelming hypocrisy that is pissing me off. (That and the SI writer who said the Yankees should cut ARod and eat the loss. What a load of crap.)
