Is there any reason why Major League Baseball can't pay a small penalty (for their foolishness) to get out of the contract with ABC (ABC is garbage as far as I'm concerned) and ask for the highest bid among NBC, TBS, WGN, and CBS? I agree with Jon -- the jerk who signed the contract with ABC should be crucified for his stupidity. It's a real shame whenever television controls sports. -- Mark Tischler (312) 393-7199 (home) (312) 979-5123 (work) ihnp4!ihlpg!tischler
