Are you excited for the return?

Disappointed in one side or both with how this played out?

Do you plan on watching?
I miss baseball. Can't wait!

The professional baseball players have taken the old American pastime into a new American pastime, and it seems to be contagious. The new pastime it - GREED

With all due respect, baseball players are no more or less greedy than football or basketball players. The same goes for the owners. Professional sports in general have gotten “out of hand” with salaries and ticket prices. The average middle class family cannot afford the cost of attending as many games as they could a decade ago. Only the upper income fans can afford to attend very many professional sport games today. :boom:

NOPE, bunch of 'prima donnas' - like many pro atheletes. Demanding mega millions to play games. I don't add to the $$$ kitty by attending pro games of any kind. Tickets&concessions are outrageous.

Baseball on TV, OMG - long and boring. The negotiations with Owners/Union is still far apart. As far as I'm concerned, end the season before beginning. Too bad the low-paid team staff, ballfield staff, and concession folks are so impacted.

Only sport I'm interested on watching on TV, pro football. And golf. period.

yawn.
I've gotten used to corn hole!

disappointing that the player's union and the owners couldn't come to terms....this isn't rocket science....owners are making a bundle and the players collect huge salaries for playing a kids game

let go of the greed and "play ball!!!"
Bingo ,
If my team is in the Playoffs I watch , if it fits my busy Village Schedule 😂

Cubs or White Sox?

I certainly won’t avoid watching, but not too enthusiastic at the present.

On the bright side, the Mariners won't be able to lose nearly as many games as they do in a regular season.. :popcorn:

Born on the north side so Cubs. But I don't hate the White Sox and will root for them occasionally.

 to bad it’s not more like golf where we can watch some one stare at his ball for 5 minutes and where the most exciting thing in the 5 hour day is watching a multi millionaire golfer start crying because someone coughed when he was finally after 3 advertising breaks going to hit the ball

.......and they are so underpaid!:icon_wink:

I was born in a "Cubs" house, but I also don't hate the White Sox. The White Sox are using the Schaumburg Boomers minor league stadium as one of their training facilities this season. The Schaumburg Boomers 2020 schedule was canceled because of the pandemic. Boomers stadium is about 2 miles from my house, but the public is not allowed to watch the White Sox players workout.

The wifey is a fan (Rays) so I have no choice. I’ll be watching. :)
