The owner-imposed lockout of the players of Major League Baseball has now resulted in the owners canceling another week of regular season games, and at this point it’s clear that these guys are willing to burn a significant portion of the season to get their way.
Or, rather, it was always clear, but they’ve done a decent job of throwing all but the most dedicated truth-tellers off the scent. They even got me in these very pages two weeks ago, when I actually believed their willingness to simply show up at the negotiating table meant anything whatsoever.
