He claims to have experience at levels that no one can prove (which includes him).

Do you really think he is going to take a position that you will ever agree with? Let it go. These discussions are not going to change anyone's mind or anyone’s positions. The reality is that if you were a scab lover before, you will be a scab lover afterwards. There are guys that are going to be happy to work those games no matter what. But the minute the dispute is over, they will get cut from the system and no one will want them. If these guys were worth a damn, they would go out and go around the league instead of working at one town and working all the games from one team. At some point that is going to get old to the teams and the visiting teams are going to want fairness in the system. Remember they accuse of us being homers already, you think teams like the fact an umpire lives in the town of the team and only works their games? If college ball takes precautions to eliminate “conflict of interest” issues, do not think this is not a problem now. It is just too early and the baseball season is too long. Eventually someone is going to lose a series or a big game and all hell is going to break lose. It just has not happen yet because the games are not considered to be on the line yet. If they were accusing the Major League umpires for missed calls and affecting series in the post season, do not think for one second everyone is going to not be critical of a bunch of guys that are not trained nor have any understanding of game as the Minor League guys do now.

Windbag is probably a scab and is trying to justify his position by saying the union was wrong for their position. He will never change and who cares if he does anyway. This debate is getting old and it is really a good time to move on to bigger and better things.

Peace
good points For the time being I seem to have the time to waste, not on wwtb but on trying to put out some accuracy and state the facts for some that may not know otherwise and read wwtb posts thinking they make sense.
