Our attendance increased from 1994 to 1995.

...because the Angels were in the playoff hunt, as I'm sure you know.  Overall MLB average attendance declined by over 6,000K per game from '94 to '95.  The Angels were one of only 3 teams to increase in '95 (by a whopping 279 people per game, btw) and two of those teams (Red Sox and Angels) were bad in '94 and then good/playoff contenders in '95.

Seems like both sides have a lot moved more today than they did the last three months... and this will get figured out fairly soon.

Deals don’t happen without a deadline of some sort…..

There's billions of dollars to be shared here among owners and players. What's the problem?!

Just compromise already and get something done!

WTH, you've been at it for months. We don't need 12-hour negotiating days and weeks, and maybe several more months. Just get the damn thing done and play ball. Make your millions and enjoy it, players. Make your billions and keep adding to your profits, owners.

I just thought it was amusing that it was initially framed as "Session No. 7."  Makes it seem like it's going to be some grueling marathon.  I wasn't commenting on whether it was good or bad.

Shit I was getting really comfortable with the idea of a 140 game season.  Not sure what I am rooting for now.

Yeah.  For sure.  The only ones worse are people who are greedy with somebody else’s money.

How is food being handled?  The players and owners just order dominos delivery?  And how about the reporters hanging in the parking lot?

Why don't the players want 14 teams in the postseason?

Good, 14 teams is stupid.

Baseball needs to stop trying to be like other sports.

Earn your way into the post-season.

They feel the more playoff teams there are = less encouraged owners will be to spend

I would think having more teams in legitimate playoff contention would result in more owners "going for it".

[Taylor]

Dang, I saw mmc had posted again and thought it was another tweet about the two sides meeting for 47 seconds.

You would think wrong. That's not what would happen at all.
