I believe there ought to be a constitutional amendment outlawing AstroTurf and the designated hitter. I believe in the sweet spot, soft-core pornography, opening your presents Christmas morning rather than Christmas Eve and I believe in long, slow, deep, torture of Bud Selig.

Bobby Bonilla, who left the team in 1996 ... has $1.2 million per year coming to him for the next 25 years.

I thought Bud enacted limits for a club's debt ratio.

I remember all the good times me 'n Miller enjoyed
Up and down the M1 in some luminous yo-yo toy
But the future has to change - and to change I've got to destroy
Oh look out Lennon here I come - land ahoy-hoy-hoy

Enacted?  Sure.  Enforced?  Not so much.

I can't imagine how you can get into that kind of debt? 

Also, who's going to buy a team with that kind of debt?  Is there any value to it?

That depends on the terms of the debt.

You go into Chapter 11, restructure the debt, and sell to new owners all clean and sweet smelling.
