You know, today’s about the time when pitchers and catchers would be reporting to Mesa, Arizona for Cubs camp to begin. I’d be getting excited, you too, probably. I’d be well into researching and writing the “Know your enemy” articles I write about Cubs opponents that run here around this time of year.
Instead, I just feel kind of blah. We don’t know when the lockout will end; there was no news yesterday and there isn’t likely to be any today. We’re just 11 days from the first scheduled Cubs spring training game and there is zero official word on whether that’ll happen.
