Oh, I'll still watch baseball. I'll watch my son play, and I'd catch at game at the local minor league team, but if the Indians don't play baseball this season, I'm pretty sure I'll be done with MLB.

this is the sentiment. baseball is ripping its own nuts off.

And they had such an opportunity to not only pick up NEW fans, but also provide something for the country that it desperately could have used.

Fuck em.

I miss it because Mrs. Carnzo loves the game and it keeps her quiet for a few hours.

Get your shit together boys, please.

let's start a SportsHoopla baseball team. i'll be pitcher. who wants to catch?

Very disappointing if they can work a deal to play at least 60 games. Baseball is America's pastime but they are looking like complete pussies at the moment. Good luck with ratings in the future if you choose to abandon this season.

youre looking for the politics board.

MLB is dying a slow death. I work in the Restaurant industry with plenty of 17-29 year old males. None of them follow baseball. I'm in two fantasy football leagues with 20 adult guys, maybe 3 have a favorite baseball team. People just don't care about baseball anymore. We all know some of the potential reasons for this:

Lots of other sports or entertainment choices
Disgusted by the amounts of money they make
An entitlement that rubs fans the wrong way
The evolution of the bullpen and how it changed the game for the worst( starters only going 5 innings for example)
Steroids and other cheating scandals

But even if none of those are the reasons, sometimes a society just changes what it likes. Things don't always stay the same. Baseball was perfect for America from the late 1800's for 120 years till 2000, but I feel like times are always changing and we are starting to see the fading of interest of what used to be our national pastime. I wonder if 20 years from now MLB will even exist.

Players have no one to blame but themselves on this one. I never thought I would agree with billionaire owners but....

Never happen, but if the season is ultimately cancelled players should receive no pay

wow, I am on the exact opposite side... I think the players are right...

Apparently neither side realizes that they're killing the goose that laid the golden egg.
I've followed the Cardinals since the 60's. If a game was on I'd either be trying to watch it or listen to it on the radio.

Last year Fox SportsMidwest and Dish couldn't come to a deal so no tv. I ended up finding a free site where I could stream it to my laptop.

Now this.

I really don't give a fuck anymore.

Dude! You're a White Sox fan, and they're looting in Chicago. Isn't this like Christmas and Halley's Comet all rolled into one for you?
