Did somebody say the Olympics were on right now??? Seriously, who gets excited about the Olympics anymore? It was different when only amateurs were allowed in, and there was the whole East vs. West thing. Nobody I know cares about the Olympics anymore. They're more interested in the NCAA's & Spring Training.

Remember when a Cy Young candidate had 300+ innings, 250+ K's, 25+ wins, ERA's under 2.50? Todays "aces" get by with half of those totals. Pitch 6 innings once a week, and you're an "ace". Does anyone really think that Clemens or Pedro would still be pitching if the game were still played the same as when we were kids? This rubbish about pitchers only being able to last for 100 pitches sickens me. Koufax, Carlton, Jenkins...they all got mad when pulled from a game. Today's pitchers are just big babies.

I'd like to see 4 man rotations again. Who wants to watch some kid who should still be in AAA (or worse, old guy waaay past his prime) giving up hit after hit, or walking 4 straight? Quick! Name your team's fifth starter...do you trust him with a start in a critical series?
