I can't even stand to watch it any more. I wish there was a way to test for everything before every game. Even if this happens, and it won't, the spirit of baseball is no longer there. It's 100% about the money. I don't even watch the World Series any more, couldn't even tell you who won it in the last five years. The only thing I may watch is the little league world series.

Will it happen ? I doubt it. I think they would have to do something like the NHL did a few years ago and some more. Shut it down for short time and regroup. Regular testing with major penalties after the shutdown. Impliment a slary cap for the love of God so that all the best players don't land on the same team. There will be more competative balance and the fans won't have to pay up the ying yang for these rediculous salaries from these players - and Roid takers. Make sure the new laws are enforced with penalties and marshall them. If you take illegal substances or go over the salary cap - you get penalized so it hurts. This is just my wish - I know it probably don't have a chance. Yes – baseball is in a sad state.Can it be saved ? = yes. Will it happen ? I doubt it.
