Hello, friends.
For a second straight week, there was a day where, with an MLB-imposed looming deadline, periodic updates seemed positive about an end to MLB’s lockout of the players. Then, having gotten everyone’s hopes up, the league pulled the rug out from under everyone and instead of continuing negotiations with the players, canceled more games. A lot of the blame can be laid on the league initiating the lockout in December and then not doing any negotiating for six weeks.
Two more series have been wiped out, leaving the Orioles set to open up their season at home on April 15.
