Come on Baseball get with the program

Of all the major sports out there baseball is the only one without a salary cap and that begs the question why? Why not have a salary cap? A salary cap allows all teams to compete at some level for free agents. I mean seriously if there were a salary cap in baseball the Milwaukee Brewers, a team thats known for having a small payroll due to the fact that it's in a small market just might have as much chance to land a pitcher like CC Sabathia as say the Yankees (who got him for 7 years and $161 million). A salary cap is especially all thirty teams to adopt agood in these tough economic times when everyone is tightening their belts. How is it when we're in a recession and these guys are spending a quarter billion dollars on free agents? Hello what is this world coming to? I mean every other team is being cost conscious but not the Yankees they just spend, spend, spend.

STOP ALREADY!!!

Note to Bud Selig: as the former owner of a professional baseball team that regurlarly could not compete with teams like the Yankees, Mets, Red Sox, etc. you should be pushing for all thirty teams to adopt a salary cap "for the integrity of the game". If you want a level playing field push for a salary cap so that all teams can compete it's the right thing to do.
