Ah yes the stirike . This is all over what the players feel is the owner's way of imposing a salary cap without saying it. To be honest I'm sad to hear that the players are willing to walk out because they aren't making enough money to fill their "basic needs" (see crap most people can't afford). Yes, I'm a fan of the largest pay roll in the MLB (the New York Yankees) but I am highly critical of the players who don't do what the are expected to do every time they step on the field (catch every ball hit to them/ hit every pitch even if its foul). Ahh well looks like my Yankees vs. Tigers tix may not be good on the 8th

/me grumbles cause he can't get a refund

p.s. Alex Rodriguez $33,000 every at bat
Derek Jeter $22,000 every at bat
Mike Piazza $14,000 every at bat (i think i need to double check that)
Roger Clemens $3,000 every pitch
