The season isn't going to begin until late May. That's being optimistic.

Personally I'll be fine. I NEED my baseball fix and luckily I have the Ducks and the best manager in pro ball, Wally Backman. It's excellent baseball in a beautiful park in Islip and wildly affordable. PLUS this year there's a great new rivalry with the new Atlantic League team from Staten Island, managed by our own Edgardo Alfonso. Those series are going to be fun! Maybe the whole family will trek over to Staten Island to watch Wally's Ducks take on Fonzies' guys. Have never seen that park.

But jeez, here we are favorited to go all the way with this amazin Met team and we have a lockout. This lockout sucks worse than the lockdown.

Oh well, Islip and it's cheap hot dogs & beer & free parking, here we come!

Great to see you back; missed these!

But…ban the shift? Srsly? If hitters are allowed to try to pull every pitch, then fielders are allowed to shift. If that’s a problem for hitters, they should learn to hit the other way. That’s called “good fundies” and good fundies make good baseball!
