How do you feel about not having a game on a holiday like Labor Day?

11 games today -- so that makes 8 teams idle.

Eight of the 11 are day games and even the night games all start between 6:10 and 6:40 local time.

I not only think every major league team should be playing, but I think it should be a double header (single admission, of course).

How many more traditions are MLB going to ruin?

Didn't play on Memorial Day, and were away at Arizona on July 4th. A shitty holiday schedule all around.

The irony is that in 2023, the players, unlike most of their fans, are members of a powerful union.

Also, with so many teams in action who are ahead of the Mets in the standings, it gives them a chance to gain ground without breaking a sweat. San Francisco and the Cubs are already underway.

I thought they had another holiday off! But I was too lazy to look.
