Now that the baseball players are on strike, the owners should lock them out, withhold their pay, call up their farm-club players and get on with the game.
The owners should not let themselves be held hostage by these cry babies who already get more money and benefits than they deserve. The players do not deserve our sympathy or the respect and loyalty of baseball fans.
Many players in the farm clubs can play as well as, if not better than, these spoiled, overgrown brats.
It would be to the public's advantage if fans just boycotted any games played by these striking players, teaching them that fans, not players, keep these games going.
