I don't know why people care if ML has bi-weeks to make the schedule work. First, it wouldn't happen if the other teams didn't OK'd it. II know for a fact NL was looking to do the same thing. So it is what it is. Finally, ML will be coming into the season not really having played any games. If you are an ML-hater wouldn't you want that? I don't have a dog in the fight but know a lot of ML parents and they aren't too psyched about missing several weeks of games for a bunch of the reasons expressed on this page. fwiw
