Summary
The league continues to move the goal post no matter how much the players are willing to work with them. The players want a 114-game season, the league counters with 48. The players are willing to take deferred money, the league decreases the amount they can make- and round and round we go!! Sports seem pretty inconsequential at the moment with everything else going on in the world, but an escape from reality isn't in the cards now that we've taken the red pill. The guys get into a cavalcade of topics this week including Citi Field's debt downgrade, a minor leaguer going scorched earth on the franchise and whether or not the Mets should just slap a C on Alonso's chest already. Things aren't looking too good anywhere you look right now, but we gotta believe things will get better and that we're moving in the right direction.
