Outside The Confines: Lockout day 24563637

Christmas is over and the New Year looms on the horizon, and during this lull week, the period of the holidays where we all eat too much chocolate, wear our loosest sweatpants, and basically become one with our couches until January 1st, the lockdown is feeling extra gloomy.

Wouldn’t it be nice to hear some lovely trade rumors, or have new rule changes to discuss and get angry about? Wouldn’t it be lovely to start imagining our team’s starting lineup, rather than wondering if there will be a spring training for pitchers and catchers to report to in February?
