What's new

Lockout!!!

To hell with baseball. It's the easiest to negotiate. The small teams are basically farm teams for the Yankees and Red Sox and everyone accepts this and embraces it.

I disagree. Even the Yankees and Red Sox don't always make wise moves and or get their guy. 2010 being a prime example when Seattle traded in their division to the Rangers who went on to the WS. I already miss baseball.

The Cardinals have accepted their just a farm team that will never win the series.
 
Baseball is the Ambien of the sports world.
 
It makes me happy any year that the evil empire (NY) and evil empire part duex (BOS) and the new jr. evil empire (PHI) don't win it all and even more happy if they miss the playoffs.

The difference is one player can make MUCH MUCH more of an impact then they can or do in baseball (or football).
 
Everyone knows the courts will take years. The players are hoping for an out of court settlement. Actually, both sides are. Stern is right, this is a negotiating tactic. But if the players don't put teeth to it, it can't be anything more and the players then don't even have that negotiating tactic. 0 leverage.
