good. i really don't understand why they felt the need to strike anyway...don't baseball players make enough money? i mean, multi-millions and stuff. are they that greedy and selfish? for the love of god, they make a truck load of money playing a stinking game for a living. i'm not trying to make baseball seem like a cake game, but it's not brain surgery...yet they make tons more than people with 50 times more education and brains. just a little bitterness on my part there, sorry. but the amount of money players and teams make is sickening to me. they need to look at the bigger picture...how much do you need to live comfortably (not extravagently)? not nearly as much as they're making.

Good. I wonder if some of the players actually realized that fans wouldn't stand for it. I think that the next time they scream strike that each one of them should try to live for a month on what us normal people make. I would love to see one of them live and support their families on my $31000 a year.

I think one of the keys to baseball labor issues is the distrust the players feel toward the owners. Very good news regarding the non-strike.

Baseball was just getting back in my good graces. Frankly, this didn't help endear it, and I really didn't care what they did. It's football season now!!
