Why would anyone care in Washington or smaller market when their team is out of the race early June? Why 160 games? Why no salary cap? Why games 'til November? Why Bud Selig? Why games finish at 2 AM if you call this a family pasttime?

Most owners would love a cap but the players union will never go for it. The MLB players union is much stronger than the NFL's was when it got a salary cap. Perhaps they could get a cap if they agreed to expand by 2 more teams and thus providing the union with 50 more dues paying members. That's the only way I see a cap becoming reality in MLB.
