I've done a 180 on the baseball strike. I really don't think it'll happen now. They're just too close on the major issues and the owners know they have too much to lose in a strike. This blurb from ESPN bothered me though...

On Tuesday, players said the sides agreed to a drug-testing plan. Los Angeles player representative Paul Lo Duca, who revealed the agreement, was scolded by players on the conference call for misstating it. Lo Duca said the deal covered mandatory random testing for steroids, marijuana and cocaine, but other players corrected him Wednesday.

"Cocaine and marijuana -- we're not testing for that. Just steroids," St. Louis player representative Steve Kline said.

Oh. I see. The completely illegal narcotics. No need to test for those. That'd be unreasonable. That sends such a good message.
