They were selling lemonade last year that was barely spiked for $13. We need to be risk-on this year. I want the margarita aisle vendors to just serve people by holding the nozzle in our mouths until we puke it back up. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think I ever said that, I'm an old fart who remembers when Bleacher seats were a dollar, General Admission 1.25 and Box Seats way up there at 2.50. Hot Dogs and soda pop was 25 cents and a bag of peanuts 15 cents. Edited February 21, 2022 by The Mighty Mite Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those were the days that the players had something to bi*** about. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, just making the point that costs are skyrocketing constantly, and it's just a constant in professional sports. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hogan873 Posted February 21, 2022 Share Posted February 21, 2022 Not a peep from the meeting today so far. Hopefully that's a good sign that they're actually negotiating instead of sticking their tongues out at each other. It will be interesting to hear what kind of progress was made.

chitownsportsfan Posted February 21, 2022 Share Posted February 21, 2022 Not really sure why some people are super optimistic all of sudden. Seeing the same tenor over at some other general MLB discussion areas online. I think it's cope frankly. Yea they are talking, no this doesn't mean the season is going to start anytime soon. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Texsox Posted February 21, 2022 Share Posted February 21, 2022 Both sides still fighting to save the game? The groundhog saw his shadow, two more weeks of negotiating. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Feeling optimistic makes you feel better than being pessimistic does. Much easier on you physically and mentally IMO. Kind of like fooling yourself into feeling good. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because it's "start losing revenue time"? How about this: if the owners were worried about losing some game revenue, why didn't they start negotiating in earnest until games were actually in danger of being cancelled? Hint: because they aren't worried about losing games. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
