That's what's so sad Fuzzy. If I had to put odds on it right now I'd say I'll never see a Brewer championship in my lifetime. I'd even say the odds are VERY good I'll never even see them in the world series.

I think the last few years we saw the peak of what revenue sharing can do, and now we're moving into a period where the revenue sharing is worthless, it's just a drop of water in a bucket.

The players union will never have a serious salary cap, if they do agree to one it'll be so high that it will be meaningless.

We're just gonna move more and more to the point of 5 or 6 teams dominating the sport for eternity.

Have you seen how high the bar is now for the luxury tax to kick in? And it keeps going up like 10 - 15 million every year!

How's THAT gonna help? IF we're gonna have a luxury tax it should kick in at about 150 million. THAT would work. THAT would operate like a soft cap.

This is from last year...

The payroll threshold for the luxury tax increases from $136.5 million this year to $148 million next year and then goes up each year until it reaches $178 million in 2011.

I seriously wouldn't mind if they capped my salary at $178 million in 2011, assuming I got the incremental raises between now and then.

I'd throw myself on that grenade... call me a giver.
