I am a lifelong Yankees fan but its depressing to see them buy their team instead of bring it up from the minors.

You are right it isnt good for baseball to have big money teams winning all the time.

Yeah, that intra-franchise minor league development (with all of the teams in the league) was one thing that could be considered better about the pre free agency era.

^^^^^ I mean both leagues...I don't know why I typed 'the league' (usually an NFL reference when I hear it).

Talk about thread drift.... with this talk of high speeds, anyone notice that having a ScaneGauge allows you to see how someone was driving if you lend them your Yaris? The last person I had drive mine hit 85 on an interstate, I never told him I knew as he was doing me a favor but it is kind of cool and sneaky both to be able to do that.

UGH. I may get a Scangauge at some point, but I would see if I could erase the borrower's 'stats' without looking at them. To me, this is part of a similar mindset re what Florida and California (especially the SF Bay Area) want to do....TAX YOU PER MILE DRIVEN....which would likely require a GPS device in every car and WHERE you went would be part of the total mileage information. Thank goodness I no longer live in California and don't live in Florida.
