How long did you live in Chicago?

No doubt that Girardi is a good guy, but the Yankees and more recently the
Red Sox are examples of everything that is broken in baseball.  So rooting
for them is like rooting for the lion rather than the Christian.  Fortunately
you still have teams like the Rockies who prove that occasionally small
budget teams can catch lightning in a bottle.  But the long term health of
the game depends on parity and as long as big market teams can gain a
competitive advantage by out spending small market teams for free agents the
game will always be to some degree "rigged".  There is some hope that the
Rocks' success may prove that small budget teams can use their farm systems
to effectively compete against teams made up of expensive free agents.  We'll
see.
