I Have Nothing to Add
Until MLB and the MLBPA start talking, there is nothing to say. Both sides are selfish, greedy, pampered buffoons. I am not going to embarrass myself like some blogs who just try and invent stuff to talk about. There’s nothing to say that hasn’t been said… ad nauseam. I’m out…
