Angels, Hunter Agree on $90 Million Deal

I don't post about sports. In fact this is the first time I've had to tag a post as "sports".

This is fucking obscene. No one is worth that much money. Especially someone who plays a child's game.

I'll be back after running to the bathroom to vomit.

I'm back. Yuck! I'll go back later and clean up.

Yeah, I realize it happens in all sports, but its always fucking obscene.

Vladimir Guerrero finally will have some protection in the batting order. The Los Angeles Angels, who have been trying to land another strong hitter for several years, agreed to a five-year, $90 million deal Wednesday with free agent Torii Hunter, who hit .297 with 28 homers and drove in 107 runs for Minnesota this year.

I need to make a couple things clear here.

Baseball is barely a sport at all. Soccer and basketball are "real" sports. I've played football, basketball, soccer, gymnastics, track and field, baseball. And baseball is the only sport in which I fell asleep waiting to go back in.

I'm an equal opportunity antagonist. I blame the greedy bastards who demand such money and the team owners who agree to pay.

It doesn't take collusion or conspiracy to stop this shit. Each team owner should just say I'll pay one or two million a year. If a player gets injured and can't play any longer, he's still set for life.

Wouldn't you go to work for a company that offered you such a package? Just asking.
