We lasted 3.5 months without baseball in 2020, we’ll all wait this out and come back eagerly awaiting the new opening day 

No we will not come back. You are right we can live without baseball but I for one will not be back.

Who is “we”?  You and your cat Kenny?

Baseball will be in big financial trouble without you almost buying tickets but not buying because you want cheaper tickets.

I don’t know how they survive this.

What I don't understand is why more players aren't pushing for a salary floor.

There is and one month's paycheck is three times as much is what you would make in a year at the Honda Center.

Many fans will not be back, you think I'm the only one that feels this way. Baseball will survive but take a big hit. Good luck with a 80 game schedule.

Fully noted.

Now that you have made your announcement and are firm in your decision, how long will you be on this board repeating the announcement?

Obviously if you are “out” then you will surely have nothing to contribute to actual baseball conversations so why would you be here?

Just curious how you are planning the timeline of your exit from this forum?

Manfred is probably chortling with glee right now. He can now go back to picking at his toenails and sucking on lemons.

I figure it’ll be around this time that something gets done.  And it’ll be pretty funny when a lot of the money stuff is basically the same as an agreement that could have been made I don’t know a month or two ago.

If the season starts in mid June, I will probably turtle into a Green Day mode.

Wake me up when September ends.

[fan_since79]

Okay, this is the unofficial over/under on Opening Day.

June 1st.

I'll start. Over.

American Idiot?

If this is anything like 1972, it will be somewhat of a disaster.

In 1972 MLB resumed their schedule without making any adjustments and as a result of that - some teams played more games than others...

The final AL East Standings that year...

Detroit 86-70

Boston 85-70.

Boston missed the play-offs. There were no make up games.

So the cancelling of the first two series in April sets the 2022 season up for a similar scenario. All of the teams will not play the same number of games.  Some will play 5 games less, some 6 and some 7 games less.

That seemed to work out just fine.

 I will not wear MLB gear until a deal is reached!

Stay strong!

Some people are making sense.   The hate for commissioners has always baffled me.

 

[Angel Oracle]

Okay, ManLessFred AND the owners both suck.

Fat guys chanting about a labor/ownership resolution process that they have nothing to do with is kinda funny.

Go to work fellas (or back to the pork rinds on the couch).

[ScottT]

It's pathetic.

I mean seriously.  Yes we are all fans and would love to get this thing resolved so the games happen.  But I am really bewildered at how fans like this are freaking out convincing themselves they are being victimized rather than just recognizing the two sides have shit to iron out to get a new CBA.

I could see this kind of behavior in like late May maybe?

It’s March 2.  The sky is not falling and acting victimized is pretty silly.

I will remain naked until Manfred is either fired or dead.
