0:00.0	money. Nothing personal. Word of the day is money. Not as in cash though. Not as in salary,
0:15.0	not as in payroll, as in any money. As in I want to go back. I want to go back, back,
0:25.3	do it all over, but I can't go back. I know. Why is that in my head? Because I bet there's a lot of
0:33.3	people who want to go back to the days of labor piece in Major League Baseball. When everyone was
0:39.8	playing together so nicely in the sandbox, players would play, the grass would grow, owners would own
0:48.1	fans would watch. The good old days. Where are we today on Monday, June 15th? How is your weekend?
1:00.8	Did you like the dueling statements? It's not enough that players and owners are leaking and that

2:10.1	remember. As you know, I can't remember anything. A proposal by MLB, the latest proposal,
2:16.8	saying let's play 76 games for 70% of your salary. If we have playoffs, we'll give you 80%.
2:28.3	The players said, LOL. Dead on arrival. Not going to happen. And you've got till
2:36.6	Sunday to respond, they spall said, well, the union this weekend on Saturday because maybe they do
