Dave accepted an invitation to the Tidy Bowl by saying:
 DN> I wish pro sports players would just give a little on the smaller issues
 DN> in order to avoid the cancellation of World Series and other games.
My God, Dave, the players DID give up a lot on the smaller AND bigger issues. 
The OWNERS cancelled the series and made it look like the players gave them 
no choice because they wanted the leverage to impose their will on the 
players. Ownership did everything to alienate the players and apparently 
their spin control was good enough to convince you of their RIGHTNESS in this 
issue (The players bent over backwards to show good faith while the owners 
did everything to show that they couldn't be trusted). The owners shut down 
the season when they did because it meant not paying the players their last 
payments of the season.
