If there were any common sense in the baseball world, there wouldn't even be any talk about a lockout. How long have they known the current CBA would be ending on Dec. 1st? How much time have they had to get their butts in the negotiating room? Why don't they have an agreement settled on long before the current one expires? JC man, get together and work it out. Of course, I'm looking at it from a baseball fans' point of view, which they are not. They are all money grubbing businesses who care about one thing only. I'm curious. How many billions of dollars do the owners need? And how many millions of dollars do the the players really need? Minimum pay for players is nearly a million dollars per year. I made just over a million and a half in my entire 45+ year career and had a very comfortable life and a very comfortable retirement with plenty of luxuries and conveniences. Please help me understand the greed of both the players and the owners. I just can't fathom any of it. If anybody needs more, it would be the minor leaguers. But who really cares about them? Ok, rant over. Get it done before there is a need for a lockout. No reason that "everybody" can't be happy. Even the fans. EVEN ME!!!!!
