I say it's HaloThunder or we all go on strike.

Are you countering my offer!?

@Chuckster70 we fully expect you to work in the words "yacht fuel" into the conversation if you are speaking for all of us.

And please do a shout out to @WeatherWonk

Yikes

This will be interesting to see where it goes from here.  My guess is they will come to some sort of agreement in the next few days.  

[zenmaster]

They'll come to an agreement to play 50 games, when there's only enough time left for 50 games.

Once this happens, it will be on behalf of everyone here. 

Can you speak with an accent on my behalf?

So the players will go back and accept the last deal or will they slightly alter it with 60 games and different post season monies going to the players.

You have more faith in this process than I do right now!

With only a 60 game season there will be no "dog days". It's going to be a playoff race starting opening day.
I'm getting pumped!!!

What a disgrace to see Trout losing over 100 games in a season of his prime to a bunch of BS. It could even be twice. We don't even know about 2022 either. He might end his career at a .299 average, 690 home runs, and 1,900 RBI's. Put asterisks next to those numbers.

Why would we put asterisks next to his name?  Ted Williams has no asterisks.

3 more weeks of negotiationing and can get in a 26 game season if we play 3 double headers.

How old are you? I'm genuinely curious. Repeatedly mentioning "asterisks" is the kind of thing I would have done when I was 17 or 18.
