“Nassau Coliseum does not qualify as a major league facility.”

Thank you, Hurricane Gary Bettman. Isles may be the only team to gain home-ice advantage after Round 1 only to lose it because they can’t play at home.

Availability? Coliseum was quiet as MSG Sunday night after an 11 a.m. horse show. Hoarse fans returning from Brooklyn want their horse back in The Old Barn.

Low-octane Orioles “O” put up its biggest number of the year for us last week. Reader Don Reed wrote, “Nice pick. That will be the last nine runs the Orioles score this year. How long before they move to Indianapolis?”

Baltimore moves to Chicago and their sleepy bats may wake again facing White Sox spot starter Manny Banuelos. O’s send pleasant surprise John Means to the hill. He’s 3-2, ERA 1.74 on a team that’s 10-19. Play 20 units on the Orioles.

A partly cloudy Sonny Gray is now 0-4 after surrendering two runs over five innings in a 5-2 loss to the Cards. Jack Flaherty pitched seven strong for the W. Reds with a pair of runs in garbage time. Loss leaves us at -388 mondays.
