Is there any point in watching baseball in 2009? The competitive balance was already going to be any issue, and that was before the Yankees spent half of America's economy in free agency and the Red Sox added another half-roster to their already loaded squad just to stick it to the Yankees. As we know, that's all that matters in Boston.
Unfortunately, the rest of baseball has been virtually idle. The Rays are headed for a major downfall, and while the Cubs threw some money at some more players, the best they can hope for is to take the weak National League before getting smoked in the Series by one of the Evil Empires.
The Blue Jays and Orioles will duke it out for 4th place in the AL East, and both will be lucky to crack 70 wins in another broken-record of a season. The Phillies may have broken the city's mini-curse, but that's all they'll get, as it's likely back to reality next year. The NL West is simply dead weight to baseball.
So, when do NFL training camps start?
