I favor a bidding cap, but feel it should be not more than 83

You want the cap to be $83 million so you're voting against $85 million, which will then keep it at $100 million ?
I would say there is little chance of the $85 million vote passing but there is zero chance of the cap being set lower than $85 million.

(with the proposal needing 67%, i believe that settles things)

Boston votes no--let the chips fall where they may when guys sign too many free agents.

and no from MIN, COL, PIT, NYN, TOR, BOS (6)
with PHI, MON (2) still to vote.
if my math is correct, 11 yes votes would be needed to pass. (67% of 16 is 10.72) 6 no votes would prevent it from passing.
that's 6 no votes, so unless i'm missing something or someone else changes their mind, the proposal does not pass. correct?
