Supposedly, the MLB player's union will send the owners a new proposal tomorrow in the continuing Lockout of the Damned.
Even if the plan offers significant changes - (and, who knows, it might not) - the fancy-paints owners will not accept it.
With both sides playing a strategy of brinksmanship, talks won't truly heat up until opening day is threatened. That's another month away.
Until then, I cannot rationalize wasting energy to debate who will play 1B, or how the bullpen will look, no matter how desperate we become for a diversion from the daily news.
Baseball does not deserve absolute loyalty from its fans.
Once this thing is over - especially if it affects opening day - it will be time to register our anger.
I'm not sure how. I'm not sure where. But the fans will need to be heard.
Just sayin'...
Go Bills.
ReplyDeleteI'll go ya one further, Duque: MLB, that awful, faceless entity, deserves no loyalty from anyone at all—not after they shredded the minor leagues.
ReplyDeleteKeep dreaming! Implosion, implosion, implosion...
And yes, Go Bills!
ReplyDeleteThe month of January is ALWAYS wasted.
Unfortunately fans will run back. It is always the same actions taken by both sides. Whatever is placed on the bargaining table is rejected. They will wait till Spring Training or past it. The owners make so much that they don't care if the fans show up.
ReplyDeleteIt will only matter to the owners when TV money becomes affected.
