March 8th would be a nice birthday present to have them resume baseball.
I got denied PTO and wouldn't have made it out because TOO many people requested these dates off at work and there's a worker shortage. So I lucked out. I'll be there next spring however.

Re: Lockout end date contest
Just checked the weather. So instead of the shit weather we had last year, it is supposed to be mid 80s when we were going to be there. Just kill me now....or at least kill Rob Manfred.

Re: Lockout end date contest
We are headed for David Gee territory now...... he beat me out of $200 last year, so he could get lucky.... the next four guys have nice windows and good chances, but only if the ballplayers union comes to their senses.... We shall see, but it's getting nasty out there and we are going to be cancelling more of the season soon and with that, a lot of television money is going to disappear....dumb fuckers one and all....

Who has the 18 million to 1 parlay of the lockout ending the same day RW gets traded to the Broncos????

Hey if you have a hard-on for breaking the union better be prepared to cancel a season, fair trade isn't it.

Re: Lockout end date contest
I'd be up for that if it worked..... Reality says the union will not be broken, the lockout will continue until the TV money starts to be diminished.... and I'm hoping the union will be considerably weakened, the influence of mega agents like Boras considerably weakened, and maybe we can jettison this weak-assed commisioner.... Major league baseball is not totally critical in the USA this year..... there are 120 other professional baseball teams at 4 levels to start with that will play in early april. Baseball will go on.... the college parks, high school parks, in the village parks, and wherever a few kids show up with some gloves, bats, and balls...Donn Beach wrote: ↑Tue Mar 08, 2022 10:52 pmHey if you have a hard-on for breaking the union better be prepared to cancel a season, fair trade isn't it.

Re: Lockout end date contest
I think there are owners willing to sacrifice the entire season like they were the 2020 season to try and win what they want. The concern over lost games is BS.
The other thing that seems possible with all the talk now of being deadlocked is the owners arbitrarily impose their conditions with the players then challenging it claiming a lack of good faith bargaining, though I can't find anything written on that possibly

If the players don't agree now they can go fuck themselves.
