Prayers would be appreciated guys. My niece was born this morning and had to be admitted to the NICU this afternoon. Nothing major but still always a frightening time. Strange being on this side of it with a family after having worked in a NICU for years.

You got it

Absolutely

While I don't disagree with the gist of his argument, this is not a good look for Blake Snell.

Don’t play then

How much is he making crying while playing video games?

 

[Regulator]

I can't consciously side with the owners, who are billionaires, either, but Snell's comments are extremely tone deaf. Not playing should definitely be an option for him, or any other player for that matter, that doesn't feel comfortable returning.

I realize I’m in the minority, and that’s fine, but I almost always side with the owners. Give me a break. ESPECIALLY in NBA and MLB disputes.

Thanks for the prayers guys! Things are going better this morning for her. If no more setbacks my niece should get to come home early next week.

First workout done on my new program. And I am working out before work. This is the worst.

Sadly probably a lot if he tried

Scotty’s (RIP) boy prince fielder is going to be MLBs highest paid player this season

But the players sure do get the short end of the stick

Definitely needs to be kept behind closed doors. It is a little amazing how most fans side with the owners in sports labor disputes. Even when they lockout players, fans think it’s a strike and blame the players.

I will never in any circumstance feel sorry for a professional athlete. Don’t like the deal, don’t play. It’s that simple. There is no more gray area here than the factory worker who doesn’t like his circumstances. Have a problem with your employment? Find something better. Goes for any profession.

beloved Dinos scored another W this morning

And why does the world suddenly hate billionaires?

 

[Notorious B.E.N]

And why does the world suddenly hate billionaires?

Because Trump is a billionaire.

And why does the world suddenly hate billionaires?

Because my generation is a bunch of babies.

 

[Notorious B.E.N]

Literally....

 

[TBrown]

And why does the world suddenly hate billionaires?

It’s not fair!

 

[Florida Stanley]

It’s not fair!

Most of whom proclaim this have a job because of a billionaire

The problem is that the players are the product so they have a little more pull than that. Salaries have stagnated and what the owners are proposing is a de facto salary cap; something that they know will never fly.

I don’t like it, but I wouldn’t be happy either if somebody started talking salary cap in my industry.

Except salary cap is in every industry already

Except... it’s not.

Oh but it is, in varying degrees of course.
