The reason that the strike is being discussed for October (not during Bud's little lovefest in Milwaukee) is that that is when the players stop getting paid (except for the post-season players -- but we don't think about that much here in Chicago).

I did read rumors about the players blowing off the AS game because of the man who allegedly acts "in the best interest of baseball" -- but the thinking was that this game is for the fans even if it is being played in Bud's park.

If you could short the Pit you could make a killing on the strike.
