You have probably heard that baseball’s owners and players are supposed to meet every day this week as they finally get at least somewhat serious about saving Opening Day. In retrospect, I supposed it had to end up this way. I will admit being foolishly optimistic back in December when the owners first locked out the players. It seemed to me that there was enough common ground between the two sides — everybody wanted a universal DH, everybody seemed willing to expand the playoffs, everybody agreed that the best younger players probably should get paid more, everybody wanted to do at least a little something about teams tanking and manipulating service time — that while they might hem and haw and threaten and insult, they would not actually put spring training in jeopardy, much less Opening Day.
