The MLB lockout is lifted!
Perhaps not with an additional playoff round. Plus we're not certain MLB is being smart.

@Chisoxfn made a great comment in the settlement thread. Could you owners be angling for a late start, shorter season (150 games) and expanded playoffs? Call it temporary for this year then make it permanent.

Fathoming Bauer not securing a job anywhere?
Every decision I make, from what I ordered at breakfast to what I will do at practice today, is guided by previous mistakes and successes. So can I issue a blanket I made mistakes in the past and continue to learn from them and am trying to do better?

Why? Can't we just keep making better decisions? But ok, how do you suggest we face up to those times? I'm doing that by making different decisions now.

I've become more aware and less forgiving.

Covid cough for eight weeks now. I'm so tired of coughing.

I'm out if they sign him and that's not hyperbole.

I'm thinking the PR backlash combined with the lockout backlash keeps him off the field.

Just post your date that MLB announces a settlement has been made.

I'm assuming the Dodgers buy out the contract if they can't find a way to void it.

Both sides still fighting to save the game? The groundhog saw his shadow, two more weeks of negotiating.

Anyone that signs him will be in for a public relations nightmare.

Apparently if someone says you can slap them they can't change their mind or ask you to stop and you can beat them until they are unconscious. Especially if the other person is a woman and you're a professional athlete.

Of course, they prefer to say война.

I don't believe getting paid for one event every few years will change that.

I'm assuming if we were actually starting the season we would be ignoring him.

Really? Someone built an arena and offered people a chance to compete and have an audience. Someone built this and provided the opportunity. If enough athletes ignore the opportunity there may be changes. But most of the participants have no chance of a medal. It's their dream to just be there. I'm not going to criticize them or deny them the opportunity. If you start paying athletes those participants will be left out while the stars demand higher and higher payments.

Anyone taking sides between the PGA Tour and the Saudi's Tour?

I really don't think the players would report without a new agreement. Let's remember the current one exploits players, is horrible for the fans, and promotes tanking, encourages service time manipulation, etc. Why would they just head to camp? We would just go from lockout to strike. Which functionally is the same.

Let's keep this simple. You believe someone can consent to being beat unconscious and that's ok. I don't. It's bad for our society.

No one is required to compete. They volunteer. You contribute here for free. See those ads on the page, it's a money making venture. If you truly believe taking your labor without compensation is so reprehensible, you would stop posting. But you seem to enjoy posting so you allow yourself to be exploited. Would you refuse if this was a bigger stage and there was a wider audience or would you enjoy having your words read my a wider audience? Thank you for your concern. I appreciate it.

@Two-Gun Pete Indentured servants? Really? They are not in bondage by anyone. They are free to stay home and not compete. They are willingly competing.

Does the bedroom make it any different than say the kitchen? She consented to me beating her unconscious because the steaks were overcooked? She consented to me breaking a few of her bones because the satellite was out. But it's ok because it got his dick hard.
