I agree with all that, but I thought Selig was a tool. And yet all of them combined don't make up as much toolage as we have in hockey with Bettman. True, true, aaaaaand True!

The way things are going, I wouldn't be surprised if the only way we could watch any games this year (if they play) is to make a direct donation to BLM.
$50 per game to make it available to you on your TV.
And before each game you have to provide video of you kneeling and apologizing for your white privilege.
*This in no way defers you from future reparations you will be required to pay.

I agree with all that, but I thought Selig was a tool. And yet all of them combined don't make up as much toolage as we have in hockey with Bettman. Bettman will always be despised in the ATL for the way he treated the Atlanta Thrashers franchise. Unlike other cities, he pushed for True North to get a team that was available & when Glendale AZ stepped in to save their team there was the opportunity for him to work with the ATL Spirit who never wanted the hockey team to begin with to move our team on to Winnipeg Bettman did work to save Pittsburgh, Buffalo, Nashville etc but did nothing for us in the ATL. Always will hate him for that As for being a tool, I thought Bowie Kuhn and his nit picking ways was more of a tool than Selig could ever hope to be. Kuhn was always fining and suspending people and the newer owners (including Ted) had had enough of him. Walter O Malley could not save Bowie at the time, for once O Malley (also a tool) was finally defeated. He thought he was almost commissioner at the time when all O Malley was is a butt kisser - One of the biggest tools in sports history In the end most of the owners are tools. No wonder the players association has had a history of militancy - under Selig at least the game went on after the sacking of Fay Vincent. Not that Selig was perfect - but better than Tailhole Manfred

Yea, the game in of itself is greater than the problems of the game including the toolish owners and players association And as previously mentioned- the other sports leagues can find a way to put something together but not our sport And I am too far gone in life to say to hell with it - would take MLB over the other sports

I do not want to watch MSM news anymore, it makes my sad and it stinks bad I sort of stick to One America News and News Max along with some local stuff - even that do not want to depress my life anymore with that BS with the time I have left

Here’s my proposal:
Start a 108 game season with expanded rosters on July 1st. Play two home and home series within division (48 games) and one home and home with the other ten teams in your league (60 games). Sprinkle in a couple of days off a month and season could end in mid October. Have the three division winners and 1 wild card in the playoffs. WC vs Division winner with best record play each other best of 5. Other two division winners play best of five. Winners play best of seven in LCS. World Series best of 7 in mid November.
Play ball!

I would like that but from what I can tell the owners want no part of any of that. The fewer games they play the less money they "lose."

I've said the exact same thing many times. But it looks like ego and pride is going to guide them. They claimed the would "lose" $4 billion if they played an 82 game schedule, and it turned out that the real truth was they'd only make $6 billion instead of making $10 billion in a full season. I've said if they end up not playing this year it's going to cost them more than that $4 billion in the long run because of the reaction of fans. You'd think that's obvious, but they're just too full of themselves.
