Sad and Sadder

Yesterday, MLB players announced they’re setting up a $1 million fund for workers affected by the lockout. Matt Scherzer-wise, how many Porsches does that come out to? Count up all the spring-training and major-league venues there are, then do a head-count for workers. Sorry to say, but $1 million isn’t going to cut it, unless the players can get some fishes-and-loaves action going. That, or contribute a whole lot more to the fund. If the players appear at all hypocritical or tight-fisted here, at least they’re not clueless. Do the owners even know that a whole bunch of blue-collar folk depend on baseball for a livelihood? Do they even know what “blue collar” means? I wouldn’t bet on it.
