Go on Strike Early and Beat the Rush

I don’t know why all you baseball fans are getting excited over the coming season because there will be yet another work stoppage at the end of it. As a baseball fan, I refuse to be duped by the owners and players into investing my time and money in this season.

I see the writing on the wall--the end of the collective bargaining agreement, the Alex Rodriguez $252-million contract, the imbalance in competition and all of the players whining about their contracts.

So I have made a vow not to follow baseball this season. “The new Dodgers?� “The new Angels?� “The new strike zone?� Who cares? There’s not going to be any baseball in six months, so why bother wasting my time now?
