Major League Baseball may have an imminent lockout.

There's talk around the game that owner's are going to demand a hard salary cap and non-guaranteed contracts,
similar to the lesser team sports like football and basketball.

The idiot Commissioner Manfred,
who has managed to be even worse than Bud Selig was,
hasn't done a single thing right yet.

The MLB Player's Association better not cave.
Let the fuckers shut it all down, guys.
Don't give an inch!

Baseball is one of the most important things on the planet,
but labor solidarity is even more important than that.

Now's the time to bring the corporate oligarchs down.

In professional team sports,
the players are supposed to be the professionals
and the team owners are supposed to be the sportsmen.

Baseball franchises were never meant to run as businesses.
They're supposed to be the hideously expensive toys of people who are wealthy from other endeavors.

Running them as businesses instead of luxurious toys is an abomination
that must be squashed now.

The player's union is not without guilt here as well.
They like the jobs provided by thirty teams
when there are only about a dozen markets that can seriously support them at a major league level.

Small market teams have to luck into their titles with with surprisingly good kids
that they're not able to keep once they become free agency eligible.
Teams like that don't need to exist at the major league level.
 
So few aces- and so many teams! I don't know any better system. MONEY TALKS!- And bullshit walks!

Kidding aside, The Rangers hasn't had an ace since Nolan Ryan. And even when we had him, we didn't have the batters we needed to take advantage of his pitching.

I still enjoy watching them, but It's frustrating knowing they have no chance of getting in the series year after year! AND WE KNOW WHY!

WE NEED AN ACE GOD DAMMIT!

I agree with you about salary caps, but there’s few things on this earth that I love more than listening to the whines and cries of the subhuman garbage that are Redsox fans, so please Jeebus let these measures pass!!!
