Hello, friends.
There are now two months and one week remaining until the next scheduled Orioles game, which is Opening Day. Whether that actually happens as scheduled is another story. Some baseball analysts seem to think that a February 1 end to the lockout might be the last day to settle things and avoid a delay to the season calendar. Others are more optimistic, thinking March 1 could still produce a March 31 start to the season after an abbreviated spring training.
Perhaps the process will move along today. The MLB players are supposed to present a counterproposal to the most recent ownership offer some time today.
