Just busting your chops. In this current MLB dilemma, I don't really have a lot of sympathy for either side. 

Why are you the way that you are?

I love you.

Fans need to unite and boycott games when and if they start by June 1. 

If you really want to send a message, boycott the MLB sponsors.  Don't buy a car from Rotollo, heck don't buy a car from any car company that sponsors MLB.  Don't buy anything that is advertised by MLB.  Don't watch games on TV.  Don't listen to Games on the radio.  Don't buy news papers that report on MLB.  Don't subscribe to any media that provides MLB coverage.  Send a telegram to your Congressman telling him that you are mad as hell and not going to take it anymore.

@Dtwncbad I'm trying to fit this into your nail-in-wife's-tire metaphor, but I'm struggling.

Fans YOU NIGHT and boykott  the games, sho players and owners fans our fed up

[eligrba]

How about congress telling MLB to make a deal happen before spring training or lose their antitrust exemption? 

 

Never mind.  Big money is always the answer for the policy decisions.

Why do we need a collective bargaining agreement that exists solely to suppress wages and limit the employment options of people?

Why are the owners incapable of making an offer when the sheer existence of a labor agreement is inherently beneficial to them?

Let's see a federal mediator offer to just throw the whole thing out and watch how fast the owners come back to the table.

Maybe he'd do one last Q&A.

Good thing I'm moving from an MLB town to a AAA town. I'll still get to watch some baseball this year.

When you go. be sure to bring the players some snacks  since they can't make their own meals.

I don't know why anybody would be surprised at any of this.....they couldn't agree on anything in 2020 in would should have been a lay up during a pandemic...the result was a Commissioner mandated 60 game nothing season (sorry Dodger fans)...could have easily been at least an 80 game, maybe 100 game season....There won't be an agreement anytime soon.....and there won't be a full season, if there is a season...

So much vigor and productivity when compared to MLB.

Well it’s time I started watching some minor league baseball- I’d appreciate any pointers.

So you know how you watch MLB games? You do the same, except you're there in person.

The public shit talking has ramped up.  Tone deaf beyond belief.  Who does this help?

Get used to three camera games where one is from center field but they couldn't afford a zoom lens. One covers the left side of the field but is never in focus. The other camera also follows the left side of the infield because he is an idiot. Any hit to the outfield is lost until after the catch is made. There are worse than Rotollo Chevrolet commercials from the local merchants.

Upton will make $28 M this year. The entire Cleveland 26 man roster will be $29 M.

And combined will spend less time on the IL as Upton.

I'm guessing you've never been to San Bernardino. 

Pass.
