Maybe I missed it.

I thought the strike was over about 10 days ago and the AMLU umpires went back to work yesterday.

If I'm right on the facts (and Lord knows I can get the facts wrong, ask any coach), I'm wondering where all this hostility against AMLU guys is coming from.

They were traitors to the game when they struck. Then they wussed out and settled for a half-deal. Now they are not nearly as good as the replacements . . . especially if I was one of the replacements.

You know, the hostility aimed at AMLU, if this board is any indication, is equal or greater to that AMLU aimed at scabs.

They are back on the field. Rehashing the "I'm just as good, I was noble and they were selfish, they are greedy" talking points for the 4,000th time gets us where at this point?

Dudes. Really. Move on.

Strikes and outs!

Thanks for the memo...

Topics get repeated here all of the time. Those of us who have been around a few years have witnessed just about everything being recycled.

While it may seem tedious to some, new faces pop up all of the time. Some do Google searches and link here. I don't like the idea that a newbie can read that the AMLU was wronged in all things baseball. They set themselves up for disaster from the beginning. The strike cost them much more than a couple months pay.
