Worker Wages, Unions, Management, Owners
Without knowing what Regeneron is or what they do, it seems weird that their CEO makes more than Wal-Mart's with not even 1% as many employees. Or maybe CEO pay just isn't supposed to make sense.

Worker Wages, Unions, Management, Owners
Wal-Mart's CEO makes $26M or so. The company has 1.2 million US employees. If the CEO cuts his pay to $2M, that gives every employee in the company an extra $20 per year. It might seem like a nice gesture and might make the news, but the extra $20 per year isn't going to make a difference for employees. Now, that's just one example and there very well could be companies where the CEO salary could be cut enough to make a significant difference in the lives of employees, but you need to remember the context of the number of employees.

Favorite Sox player to wear each number
Ordonez may be the best Sox player ever to wear #30, but give the way he left, he'll never be my favorite Sox player ever to wear #30.

First day after Christmas Break then. Announce it in advance to give parents time to plan for the closure.

Worker Wages, Unions, Management, Owners
If you're talking about teachers or other public employees, I don't like strikes. At least not in the middle of the school year when you are inconveniencing thousands of parents who aren't to blame for your plight. As for employees of a private company, I say do what you think is best. Just don't whine when there are layoffs or your company moves.

If you're arguing over whether Petricka or Jennings is your worst reliever then you have a pretty good bullpen.

POSTPONED-4/10 Game Thread: Cleveland, 1:10, CSN/WLS
This is dumb. Put Saladino at 2B and Lawrie at DH. Edit: Nevermind. Saw that Saladino is already in the lineup for Rollins.

We should bat Austin Jackson leadoff
1 Eaton 2 Abreu 3 Frazier That's what it should be. Get your three best hitters hitting 1-3.

STAR WARS Everything
Watched a few of them today. The hour long 'making of' feature is fantastic. There is also one about John Williams that was good, and the one about the light sabre battle in the snow forest was good. Had no idea that was a set and not on location.

Doesn't matter what it says, it's not an official game thread if it isn't created on the day of the game. There are rules.

It's not a game thread for today if it was created yesterday.

2016 Cubs catch-all thread
Schwarber playing out of position was absolutely a factor in his injury. The Cubs took a risk by playing him there and now they (and especially him) are paying the price. Same thing with Avi. He's not really an outfielder and is risking getting hurt out there. Of course, it's not nearly the same loss to the team if it happens.

Bill can be both accurate in what he was saying and really dumb to have said it. The two are not mutually exclusive.

Does that "delete" feature work only for a single game, or could it be used for a longer stretch of games, like 107 years worth?

My free week of MLBEI ends Sunday and I've already missed 3 games due to ungodly start times. Don't want to miss out on another!

4/8 game thread WHITE SOX HOME OPENER vs Cleveland
There isn't. Danks, at his best, is going to be the 4th best starter on the team and no 4th starter is worth a QO.
