Personly, I'm sick and tired of Drayton Mclaiming that he has no money. Show us the damn money, or move out of the way!! Go Astros!!
McClane was a godsend when he bought the team from McMullen! HOWEVER, I think the 'Stros will never get "to the promise land" with McClane as the owner. I think this is the most we can expect from McClane and we won't get "over the hump" with him as the owner. We need a new owner who is FULLY committed to getting us to the World Series! Thanks Drayton for saving us from McMullen but it's TIME for you to go too.....
No, what we need is a commisioner willing to stand up to the owners and ensure a system of revenue sharing and a salary cap and/or luxury tax to allow owners like McLane to compete on a more level playing field.
I agree with that! But in order to do those things though, I think the owners MUST break the union! There's NO WAY the unions would go for any of those propsals! Something must be done about them. I know the owners created these problems for themselves BUT you can only let the inmates run the asylum for so long, you know?!
We also need the owners of teams like the Astros to stand up and vioce support for such a plan - but McClane is one of Selig's bosom buddies, so that won't be happening anytime soon. All you'll hear out of Houston is the party line.
