Steinbrenner is #2 on the "greedy list"

With the trade deadline rapidly approaching, anxious fans scour the web for any tidbits they can find to bolster the hopes that their favorite team will pull off a blockbuster deal.
Many will flock to "The Worldwide Leader in Sports" to quench their thirst for advance knowledge. Links to juicy rumors abound on the MLB frontpage, raising hopes of obtaining that frontline starter or big lefty bat.
They click away anxiously, holding their breath until the page loads. And what awaits them? "Subscribe now to ESPN INSIDER." ...Huh?
Yes, to find out anything on this garbage site you have to pay for it. ESPN.com is basically a porn site. They tease you with tempting crumbs until you pay for the whole cake. And like most porn sites, the money just isn't worth the content.
Most of these "insider" rumors pan out to be as accurate as Rick Ankiel's fastball, thrown blindfolded. Apparently, they have a room full of monkeys who hurl darts labeled with players' names at lists of teams and their rosters. Whoosh--thunk! Barry Zito to the Mets for Lastings Milledge! Whoosh--thunk! Alfonso Soriano to the Royals for Brandon Duckworth! Whoosh--thunk! Pat Burrell to the Red Wings for Chris Chelios!
I find it outrageous that they expect people to pay for information that pans out about as well as next week's weather forecast. This is the height of arrogance and greed.
I personally would rather find out the facts for free that cough up dough for stories that must have been written by the New York Times.
