I'd but shibags like Bob and Phil in stocks for the taxpayers of Hamilton County to chuck rotten fruit at them.  Make them watch as the county blows up GABP to make room for something useful, and make the crooks pay every dime back to the citizens.  Make them walk from Covington to Dayton with a 200lb burlap sack full of worthless bobbleheads strapped to their backs on local 12 for all to watch.  it would be glorious.

I believe MLB is dying and I'm not sure it can be stopped. It will be a long slow death for sure. But I fully believe we're in the beginning stages.

When I was a kid you couldn't drive more than a mile or two in the summertime without seeing a game of baseball or at least wiffle ball going somewhere. Baseball is like a charging Elephant with a bullet in it's brain.
