Random Blog

So today we are supposed to blog about anything. I am going to talk about why I think that there should be a salary cap in Major League Baseball. Right now it has gotten ridiculous how that every off season it is the same teams that compete for the top free agents. (I.E. Yankees, Red Sox, Mets, Cubs, Dodgers and Angels) Unlike in the NFL, where there is a salary cap in place, there is no real parity in MLB. Yeah you have the random uprisings of teams with low salaries such as the 2003 Florida Marlins or the Tampa Bay Rays from last season, but all in all it is the same teams competing. I feel that with a salary cap: it would bring parity to baseball, help infuse fan interest back into the game, and make the main focus of front offices into developing and scouting talent and not who can sign the biggest check for the free agent all star. I know this is like arguing for a play off system in college football (I am a fan of the bowl system personally) but I feel that this is something that is going to have to be done if Major League Baseball is to establish itself as a major sport instead of falling further behind the NFL and NBA.

My life

Well for this blog I need to talk about what I would like to do with my life. My job I would like to have some job where I get to interact with people because I am a really good people person. I think that is a good area for me, one of my real strengths. Right now I am not too picky about my job though because with the economy the way it is, I should just be really happy to have a stable job with good pay. Down the road I would like to get married but I would have to be sure that she was the one. I think after college I am going to be more likely to get a dog than anything at first. I really want a Blue-Tick Coon Hound.
