I just read that baseball and softball was eliminated from the olympic roster in 2012. What kind of crap is that?

Well, both sports suck IMO, I find the winter Olympics much more fun to watch.

They were elimated because MLB´s calendar doesnt fit with the Olimpics.
The masterpiece tell the performer what to do, and not the performer telling the piece what it should be like, or the cocomposer what he ought to have composed.

that is a lame excuse. MLB players don't play in the olympics. Hockey players play in the Olympics and their season at the same time.

As we all know the 2012 Olympics are in London and Baseball aint exactly popular over hear.

I would rather see darts in the Olympics.

at least they are starting an international tournament next year. That is going to be cool. Screw the Olympics we will do it on our own is what seems to be the attitude.

They are just sick of America automatically getting the medals.
