Can someone edit the topic title to read:
MLB Lock-Out - IS FINALLY FUCKING OVER!!!!!!
Good day indeed!!
Again, Scott Boras doesn't have nearly enough clients to control anything. Don't believe everything you read.
Back to work.
Imagine that, you're stating someone doesn't belong in the conversation because they disagree with you. "Less of a smaller pie"? For the love of baby Jesus how much do they need to make to play a sport? Funny thing is they can't get enough and they won't give a single fuck about the "little guy" unless they get what they want first. From there they don't want their money or the ability to get more touched, but they want the owners to show some grace. Your one sided approach is fucked and I knew how you felt about this long before your opinion was posted.Yeah, its really shocking that fellow players aren't taking less of a smaller pie to satisfy the owners who refuse to pay more.
Effectively, you're asking the players to keep the total compensation the same (where they earn less % of league revenues than NFL or NBA players), then split that lower percentage more amongst themselves than have MLB ownership (whose revenues have sharply risen) to not pay a dime more.
This logic of yours is so intensely broken, and I think its pretty well obvious to anyone that its not the players to divide a smaller pie amongst themselves.
Anyone buying this tripe doesn't belong in the conversation, much less throwing around condescending pot shots about a negotiation that they clearly don't seem to understand.
Thanks Bimbo.I will talk to you all later.

Stop referring to the NFL or the NBA until there is a cap in MLB. Otherwise you're talking out of your ass. Imagine the money available to the "less fortunate" if the spending at the top was curbed. Anyone buying your tripe is certainly not being objective and probably screaming "stick it to the man" with you as you are all cashing your checks from the man and raising your clinched fists.
Imagine that!Generally, the Executive Board first votes on whether or not to recommend to the players that the deal be approved. But that isn't binding, and the players themselves can still vote differently from the recommendation.
If the "vibes" are correct, it may mean that the union leadership may be out of step with the wishes of the players.
Imagine that!
There's no hard feelings to be honest. Like I said, AZ is entitled to his opinion and I totally support the freedom to express it. We should just be prepared for disagreement and the freedom to express that as well. It's all good. There are many things I agree with AZ on when it comes to baseball. Politics is an entirely different story.Let everything go my good sir! We have baseball back and thats all we need right now! Get a drink and enjoy!
Yeah that's a bit odd. Doesn't seem very democratic for a democratic process. Oh well! I don't give a shit because baseball is back!I was kind of surprised to read how the voting worked, with each member of the Executive Board given a vote equal to that of an entire team. Really weird system.
