How Can You Still Hate the Sonics Ownership?!


My friend and I were talking today about the Sonics, due to all the hype about the Hornets possible moves. He exclaimed he is still boycotting Starbucks Coffee because of Howard Schultz. I think it is ridiculous how much Seattle people hate the move. I understand, it was a big part of people's lives, bringing back many memories. But what it all boils down to is business. People don't seem to realize these days that everything is about money.

King Felix Trade Rumors?

When Cliff Lee finally put the Yankees in the rear view mirror and signed with the Phillies, I can admit, I was relieved. Finally, someone doesn't whine about an extra couple million bucks (like Jeter did), and gets preliminary contract stuff out of the way quickly, like it should be. Cliff Lee joined the Phillies because he enjoyed Philadelphia, not just for the money. This goes to prove that not everyone is worried about getting as much money as possible. Cliff Lee signed with them for the love of the game, not what it brings him financially. I can't help but think he was imagining the most dominant pitching rotation of the 21st century.
