Michael Weiner and the MLBPA

Can anyone say it's the economy stupid??

The union will keep an eye on management. Wow. In a related story, nurses will continue to take patients' vital signs.

I say shut down MLB for a few seasons. We'll see how strong the union is then.

Minor League baseball rocks!

And it's a lot cheaper also.

have they seen the crop of 2010 free agents? Not exactly a bumper crop, so they should not expect a bunch of big $$ signings.

Yes, absolutely, MLBPA: mediocre players who signed for less than they were asking for in the worst economy since 1935 = collusion against overpaid, entitled, drug-abusing egomaniacs.

Keep yapping, we all feel the pain of the Bobby Abreu's of the world who have to settle for $5 million to play baseball a few hours 1 of every 3 days of the year when >10% of the country is out of work. Way to win the public sympathy.

Let's pay them the whopping $9.00/hour or a total of $11.70 that my employees in my warehouse make.... then we'll see what they think about their millions
