THERE'S NOTHING WORSE THAN GETTING BOOED AT HOME: You know, I have all the sympathy in the world for Terrell Owens, trying to renegotiate his contract in a sport where non-guaranteed contracts allow owners to cut veterans or demand salary rollbacks all the time, playing a sport in which death and paralysis are everpresent risks. His risk of permanent injury to try to win this town a Super Bowl earn him the right to seek an advance of the money which the team has agreed to pay over the next six years.
But then I read this story about Oriole reliever Steve Kline, whining about the $5.5M/2y contract he signed to leave St. Louis and how much he now regrets it, and all that sympathy starts flying out the window. Did he not realize that Baltimore wasn't quite as good (of a team, of a baseball city) as The Lou? This followup interview/apology doesn't walk back the cat all the way home quite yet.
