As the MLB Owners’ lockout enters its second week, and not much of anything has changed, with no ongoing negotiations between the owners and the players’ union, and no news whatsoever about any kinds of communications going on between the two sides. However, MLB Commissioner Rob Manfred did write a very sternly written letter “explaining” the lockout to the fans, and posted it on MLB.com, like his very own LiveJournal. Of course, Manfred’s letter is riddled with inaccuracies, falsehoods and outright lies. Also in this episode: The United States plans a "diplomatic boycott" of the 2022 Olympic games in Beijing; and Oregon Ducks coach Mario Cristobal is Miami bound!
