HAS THE WORLD GONE MAD?

Vod Knocker sent me a link about the outrageous ticket prices that will be in effect in NYC next year. It appears the Yanks, Mets, Jets and Giants are the new Four Horsemen Of the Apocalypse. In dramatic lore, they were known as Famine, War, Pestilence and Death. In NYC, they are know as Cheatum, Screwum, Rapeum and Howe.
I guess if I want to see a game in NYC, I'll have to watch it on TV in a bar across the street from the stadium.At least the beer will be colder (and cheaper) (maybe).
We'll never again hear the players say "Our fans are great." Instead it will be: "Our corporate sponsors are better than your coporate sponsors".

THE UMPIRES CORNER:
Just when you think they couldn't sink any lower, someone comes along with a shovel. Brian Gorman threw a Twins player (Denard Span) out of the game AFTER the game had ended for throwing his helmet. He didn't throw it AT the umpire, just down on the ground. "Strike three, game over and, Oh yeah, you're outta here." I'm losing it here; can someone explain this? The game is over...let it go!
