I agree.  I think that if the strike is going to happen that they not
play at all anymore this year.  No LCS and no WS either.  There is plenty
to keep a sports fan busy in Sept-Oct without baseball.  Besides just how
good a series would it be if the players don't play for a couple months?

Another interesting question is what if they strike and it only lasts
one or two weeks?  Will they try and make up the games?  There are some
key series coming up for some teams.  For example the Cubs play at home
against St. Louis and NY before the strike and away at these two teams
right after the strike.  A short strike with no makeup could be a big
boon for them if they have a good homestand and don't have to suffer in
there biggest competitors home park.
