Day 729

• Tentative agreement to salvage a 162-game season starting April 7th.
• The bad news for the rest of us:  It appears that, between the 30 player reps and the 8 members of MLBPA's committee, the vote to approve was only 26-12!  So how much did the players have to give up to play baseball this year?   
• Owners vote was unanimous.  Spring Training effectively starts immediately.
• Juwan Howard's coming back from that suspension lasted one Big Ten tournament game -- almost booed out of the building when he was introduced, Indiana ate up a 17-point Michigan lead to win by five in the Big Ten second round.
• There is a non-zero chance that Chelsea Football Club will be unable to finish the season.  The Russian owner Abramovich is now banned from selling the club and now must either give it over (losing a billion dollars) or risk letting the team rot and killing it.
