February 21, 20224 yr Just now, pcq said: Just bring back my Margaritas on the OF concourse and no one gets hurt. They were selling lemonade last year that was barely spiked for $13. We need to be risk-on this year. I want the margarita aisle vendors to just serve people by holding the nozzle in our mouths until we puke it back up.
February 21, 20224 yr Just now, Harold's Leg Lift said: Good call on Brent Suter. Harvard guy. Let him do the talking. He does a killer Jim Carrey. Start the meeting Alllll righty then… You know, break the tension.

I don't think I ever said that, I'm an old fart who remembers when Bleacher seats were a dollar, General Admission 1.25 and Box Seats way up there at 2.50. Hot Dogs and soda pop was 25 cents and a bag of peanuts 15 cents. Edited February 21, 20224 yr by The Mighty Mite

February 21, 20224 yr well, whatever comes of today seems like they are finally acting like there are repercussions to waiting.
February 21, 20224 yr Not a peep from the meeting today so far. Hopefully that's a good sign that they're actually negotiating instead of sticking their tongues out at each other. It will be interesting to hear what kind of progress was made.
February 21, 20224 yr Not really sure why some people are super optimistic all of sudden. Seeing the same tenor over at some other general MLB discussion areas online. I think it's cope frankly. Yea they are talking, no this doesn't mean the season is going to start anytime soon.
February 21, 20224 yr Both sides still fighting to save the game? The groundhog saw his shadow, two more weeks of negotiating.

Feeling optimistic makes you feel better than being pessimistic does. Much easier on you physically and mentally IMO. Kind of like fooling yourself into feeling good.
February 21, 20224 yr If you knew nothing other than the date you should be more optimistic if this being resolved sooner than you felt 2 weeks ago

Because it's "start losing revenue time"? How about this: if the owners were worried about losing some game revenue, why didn't they start negotiating in earnest until games were actually in danger of being cancelled? Hint: because they aren't worried about losing games.
