Major League Baseball threatens to walk away from Minor League Baseball entirely

The war between Major League Baseball and Minor League Baseball escalated significantly last night, with Minor League Baseball releasing a memo accusing Major League Baseball of “repeatedly and inaccurately” describing the former’s stance in negotiations and Major League Baseball responding by threatening to cut ties with Minor League Baseball entirely.

Our minor team out in Round Rock is televised locally and there's way too much circus going on will commercials are being run on TV.

But they do have a great selection of beer at a reasonable (for a sports venue) price and some really good food too. Just way too much circus. Its painful to watch a hot inning or less of good ball get cooled down by a three or four minute commercial break.

Minnesota Twins game. It's affordable, fun, and easier to get to. If I want to watch baseball, I'd rather watch a minor league game any day of the week. I've been to both. I prefer minor league.
