Nobody said that.  You are embarrassing yourself.

(Butt hurt fan lashes out blaming owners with assumptions necessary to feel vindicated)

That’s a lot of work to communicate sarcasm.
SoUnDs FuN.

For fun. . .
Players Union: We would like to have pre-arbitration eligible players have access to a $100MM bonus pool to be compensated for having extraordinary years.
Baseball Owners Response: OK sounds good.  How about we have post-free agency players who have extraordinarily bad years fund the $100MM bonus pool?

This is the lamest and most meaningless of all the individual issues.

It is funny.  I am with you.

It's all good.
Rob Manfred and the players care about the fans. 

I suppose I could see myself one day no longer caring about baseball, like has happened to me with basketball. 
But I cannot see any scenario in which I would ever say "Well, I still love baseball and Ohtani is taking the mound tonight, but I'm gonna boycott so my voice will be heard."

Stick to this contrived narrative.  It’s fun.
I like baseball and would like some baseball.  Don’t really care who “wins” this dispute because fundamentally it’s not really any of my business.  The lack of baseball has me here chatting to fill the time.  Having an opinion about topics at hand and being fine with whatever they ultimately work out is not the same as people who really do care who gets what in these talks.
But you can spin that any way you like if it’s what you need to get through these talks.

Unfortunately maybe.  I just hope this will just be an episode where both sides really wanted to make sure they left nothing on the table.
Hopefully they find some new flexibility and figure it out now that more is at stake.

Boycott what?

MLB Pawn Stars edition…
Players Union: We would like to have pre-arbitration eligible players have access to a $100MM bonus pool to be compensated for having extraordinary years.
Baseball Commissioner Rick Harrison: the best I can do is not pay you for the 1st two series of the season.

Unfortunately maybe.  I just hope this will just be an episode where both sides really wanted to make sure they left nothing on the table.

Realistically we probably just picked up 1-3 games in the standings.

So if the first two series are cancelled, the Angels just scored.
That eliminates six road games.
Cool.

Of games that won't be played?

Jeff how can you blame both more?
Wouldn’t it be neither (blame both the same)?
