(And it isn't just because the Red Sox are rapidly falling out of playoff contention...)
After reading about the latest player proposal Saturday and how the owners basically took it as an insult, I'm convinced that we're going to have a strike and that the World Series isn't going to happen.
I hope I'm wrong, but I fear I'm not. It looks like the two sides are further apart than thought and it also appears that some of the owners are firm in their conviction that they won't take a compromised (in their opinion) deal.
Personally, if they strike then I'm hanging it up. I wasn't a huge baseball fan before moving to New England. (I went to the occasional minor league game growing up and the occasional Astros game while living in Houston.) I have plenty of other things to do during the summer and frankly, if they strike I doubt I'll pay much attention to baseball next year.
They're fools if they strike, in my opinion. But, I also believe they are proving themselves TO be fools.
