so the twins appear to

so the twins appear to be no more. it's good to see that instead of fixing the real problem, mlb has decided to reduce the number of teams effected by the problem. does selig really think that he can fix the league by removing 2 teams? it's like cutting off your hands to cure hepatitus. the problem with baseball, is that they have no parity in the league. the large markets can basically buy themselves a championship. now this is not a new developement, since the yankees have always been able to do this, but it has become so blatant in recent years that the fans in smaller markets are no longer willing to pay to watch it. the problem isn't that minnesota can't support a team, it's that it has been 10 years since the twins were in contention at the end of the season. look at the turnout this year when they were in first place. look at the turnout in 87 when they won, they set a league record for attendance. don't even get me started on the need for a salary cap(not to mention interleague play and the dh). it's not minnesota that has the problem, it's baseball, and the decision to contract the league by the owners does nothing to fix it.
