[MajorChode]

Premiers Tuesday and Wednesday 8pm ET on PBS. It's a documentary on baseball from 1990 until today. If you love baseball, set those DVRs now.

In other news, the Rangers will sow up the AL West today or tomorrow if they beat Oakland just one of those two games. Both start at 4:05 ET so it should be a good one to watch.

1. Why bother, when two words sum up baseball. "Steroids" and "Greed"

[MajorChode]

2. You could say the same for most professional (and even some amateur) sports these days

Some of us still love the game.

4. Lets not condem a great sport becuase of a few bad apples.

There are some great honest players out there.

This great game is corrupted by the same money interests that fuck up everything.

3. Rangers clinched the AL West!

First time since 1999.

They have the worst record of any #1 team in the AL, but at least they swept the Yankees the last time they played and they did it without their best player. It should be an interesting playoff season.
