To me it's about opportunity, to me it's about

the ability to go out there and compete in the more relevant, I think, just to the argument in this situation, regular season, where you've got 162 games and where...

teams can separate themselves over the long haul rather than go on a month-long heater.

But the problem with that argument is it runs into the what's the whole point of these games?

It's to win a championship.

As great as last year was for the Toronto Blue Jays, the fact that they don't have a banner and a ring makes that a little bit more hollow.

Here's the thing.

I get

everyone's argument here about competitive balance.

I think they're all generally pretty reasonable, and they're all fair, and they're all understandable.

To me, as we continue this conversation, the question becomes, in trying to solve this, is it worth losing games, and is it worth losing other things?

That's what comes with

A potential lockout very long.

I personally don't think there's anything at this point worth losing a lot over.

But, you know, here we are two months away from two and a half months away from the lockout.

And I don't know.

I don't have any idea, guys, when it's going to end.

Yeah.

And, you know, when I invited them on, I didn't expect anyone to say yes.

I was hopeful they would.
