If the players go ahead with a strike this summer then they are even bigger idjits than they sometimes appear to be in interviews. F*ck 'em.

Terry, It took me 2 years to care at all about Major League Baseball after the last strike. If these guys are out of touch enough to strike again, a pox on all their houses. jpgill

if the ball players aren't smart enough to see that the major pop in their salaries is from the fiction in the markets that drove the NASD from 2k+ to 5k+ in 2000 on the internet promise , and then declined to 1.7k, which by its terms is not there anymore - and they want more than that? this could be funny -

Here's a good bet- short Major League Baseball Yes, a very sad state of affairs. People who seem to know say that the owners will force the player's hand by letting the present agreement run out and then putting a new one the table that is completely unacceptable. The owners always seem to lose in these scenarios - just look at the last strike, arbitration, and free-agency. Selig is an obvious slimeball, I can't believe the owners couldn't come up with a better front man, players have all the leverage here. A local sports-talk host thinks Uncle Bud might be an accidental genius though - if he lets all those teams go under it would be the worst blow to the players that he could deliver, as demand for their services would shrink drastically and all would agree that the status quo (which is what the players want to keep) is completely untenable in this economic climate. Problem is Selig is probably lying or at least seriously cooking the numbers - owners always claim they are losing money, always refuse to open their books, always can sell their teams for huge profits. Think I'll just go to my local park and watch the 8 year olds play - much better kharma than watching the big boys strangle the goose that lays their golden eggs.
