Change in CPL (long-ish post)

[SAump]

Well written and well placed. There are umpires on here with the k&e to respond to your post. Beware of underlings w/no experience and a biased opinion, such as myself. It boils down to who wants to work 9 innings for less than $90/game. Apparantly, the line is still longer than the need.

As far as solidarity is concerned, I find very little in place before or after the strike. Each person is an island. While some stood together, many groups were standing on opposite sides. What you will not hear, here, however unfortunate, is about the mass resignations that took place after the 07 AMLU strike. Some well-known people in high places with more $$$ than you and I can shake a stick crossed the picket line to get off their jollies. Many ex-AMLU members crossed the picket line against their former comrad's well-wishes. You may hear the BS betwee amateur/NCAA and milb/pro umps seeking the best for themselves, but that was just the overcast clouds hiding the real thunder and lightning show between PBUC and AMLU.
