Good morning, baseball fans.
Let’s just get this out of the way now. This, what’s happening right now, is a choice. And it isn’t a choice the players made, it’s the result of several choices that the owners have made in order to attempt to get the players to break, maybe even break the union while they’re at it.
They chose to implement an unnecessary lockout. They chose not to negotiate in a timely manner afterwards. They chose to wait until the last minute to put pressure on players who will suffer more from lost income than they ever will.
