This is a clip from the second hour of tonight’s Sports Open Line.

Joe Pott speaks with MLB writer Joe Sheehan on the lockout. Mr. Sheehan makes clear that this lockout is unnecessary, is purely for money's sake, and is due to owners' actions and not players.

Sports Open Line airs every week night from 6-8pm barring any St. Louis Cardinals or Billikens games. Follow Joe on Twitter @Joe_Pott
