I know my enthusiasm for MLB dies a little every season. Part of it of course is how bad (mostly) the Reds have been the last 25 years or so. The 1994 strike took a lot of my love for the game away but it recovered, to a degree.

But if the season is delayed very much I'm not sure I'll ever be able to get back in the saddle ?

I'm not saying baseball is gonna die in just a few years. I'd say it will be a long slow death. But I do think it's dying and stuff like this seasons snafu are pushing it along.

I'm a sports fan and like watching the big four pro sports- MLB, NFL, NHL, & NBA. Baseball was my first love as a kid among the pro leagues and I was lucky to attend many games a season at Riverfront with my dad. As a teenager I was one of those guys who could name all the players in the league but as time passes I too have less enthusiasm for MLB. I'm apathetic to the point I don't even follow league new nor do I have a take on whether it is the owners or the players ruining the game. '94 hurt, the Reds are typically not competitive, and most teams in the league start the season already knowing they have no chance of winning anything. I love baseball for its history and used to enjoy the on field strategy, but the sport just doesn't mean as much to me anymore. Maybe I changed as I got older, but I don't think the sport does itself any favors (it's not worth posting about with a furhter blah blah post lol).

Anyhow, end "Tecmo" woebegone MLB rant.
