  • Today's featured comment comes from John in South Bend who obviously has nothing better to do right now than fret about baseball's economic inequity while he and Notre Dame fan Dave Trembley wait to see if the Fighting Irish can handle Nevada in tomorrow's season opener:John's take: Pete I'd like to know more about league owners and what prospects there might be for a return to the days when every team played every other team roughly the same number of times or -- gasp -- a salary cap or something like it.I'm sure the prospects right now are dim but I'm really just curious. Are all the owners as pleased with the status quo as I'm sure John Henry the Steinbrenners Arte Moreno et. al. must be? Is there any distant momentum building for parity measures?Has anyone read anything written this year that would shed real light on this? If not: Pete do you think this is worth looking into during the offseason?Pete's reply: During the spring I talked to some people -- including Peter Angelos -- and heard some more grumbling about the economic disparity that was so evident when the Yankees signed almost a half billion dollars worth of free agents last winter. I'm sure there will be some clamor for more payroll equity in the next labor talks but I haven't heard anything about going back to a balanced schedule. That would certainly help the Orioles on the field though I don't know if anybody in the AL East would vote for it because of the money they make from those big Yankee and Red Sox crowds.
