It appears there will be baseball tonight, and I for one am relieved. Here is a snipent from Espm.com

NEW YORK -- Major League Baseball and its players have averted a strike and, after an all-night negotiation session, have agreed to a new four-year contract.

The tentative agreement is through the 2006 season.

"There is no strike,'' said Atlanta pitcher Tom Glavine, the National League player representative.

Commissioner Bud Selig and union head Donald Fehr attended a morning bargaining session that wrapped up the agreement. It was the first time in nine rounds of labor talks since 1972 that baseball avoided a work stoppage.

No agreement had been signed, but the sides planned to announce the new pact at a 1 p.m. ET news conference.

As part of a settlement, owners agreed not to eliminate teams through the 2006 season, a management official said on condition he not be identified. Owners attempted to fold the Montreal Expos and Minnesota Twins after last season but were stopped by Minnesota courts.

The revenue-sharing component of the deal could mean $1 billion changes hands between higher-spending and lower-spending teams over the life of the contract, according to ESPN.com's Jayson Stark. However, there is no requirement that the teams spend their shared revenue on payroll.

Personally,
I couldn't care less....

Football and Hockey will be starting soon!!

Well they changed their minds because they SEE that the public has given up on them. I don't know if they'll ever dig themselves out of the hole.
