Will MLB players strike? Do you care?

Yeah - Expos - Twins - would be awesome. Then they would have to decide to contract the World Series champions!

I was hoping to see the Charlotte Hornets do the same thing this year in the NBA, but alas, they lost the series to the Nets last night.

Baseball needs a salary cap or it will go nowhere. I think most fans are sick of players making 25 million a year and then going on strike. It took baseball almost 4 years to recover from the 94 strike thanks to McGwire and Sosa breaking the single season homerun record. If the season keeps going without a strike I'm hoping for an Expos Twins World Series.

Dick Cheney made $38 million last year.
Bank One CEO made $29.8 million in only 8 months of "work" last year.
George Lucas makes $250 million/yr.
Oprah Winfrey makes $150 million/yr.
Martin Lawrence ,YA HIM, makes $33 million/yr
Tiger Woods $53 million/yr
Tyson makes $44 million/yr
Keanu Reeves $25.5 million
Rosie O'Donnell $25 million......now there is a waste of money

BTW you do realize that if the players go on strike they don't make money right? Not all of them make anywhere close to that $25 million/yr. The majority is in the $200 - 500K range.
