You still need to spend the money the right way, or you WILL lose.
I do agree they need a luxury tax, but it's not the end all to be all. Not even close. Moverover, the players didn't ask for anything more. Just status Quo! While the owners can't help themselves, so they want the players to do it for them.
Was it the players association that gave A-Rod 25 million per year? Was it the players that gave Hampton, and Brown 150 million dollar contracts? NO
If they strike they can stick the game up their ass, but it's more the owners fault then the players!! By Far!

Great point Chris......but what gets me is they are ALL have millions and they screw with the loyal fans when they do shit like this. It is just getting to the point where I want to say fuck it...And I LOVE baseball, it's the greatest sport in the world to relax, catch a brew and enjoy the sun.
