I haven’t yet weighed in on the misery that is the MLB lockout, mostly because I’m numb to the stupidity that both sides have exhibited. I know nothing about labor negotiations; I’ve never negotiated my own salary in the 45 years or so that I’ve been a post-college professional. That’s not because I’ve earned a great salary; it’s because I wouldn’t know how to even go about it. I’ve always figured that if I didn’t like my compensation, I should find another job – and I’ve done that a time or two. I’ve never gotten rich, though, I can tell you that.
Baseball talk has been the biggest casualty of the lockout
