Baseball fans are beginning to get impatient now that the lockout is reaching well into its second week. As far as anyone can tell, everyone seems to have gone home for the holidays, and they have no intent on getting this lockout resolved before the new year. It would be nice if teams could resume practice at the training facilities and if big-name trades could resume. It’s already hard enough to deal with no games being played, but now there isn’t even much conversation about prospects or the future of the next season. Everyone is focused on the lockout despite nothing happening.
