Who will ask for a refund plus damages for MLB sucker punch?

(NY Post): "...So you spent $300 on tickets to Sunday's Dodgers-Mets.

• So you were going to bring your father and your son, make a three-generation day of it.

• And so it was a kids promotional game, a Mr. Met Dash day.

And so, at the last minute, MLB switched the game from a 1:10 p.m. start to 8:05 p.m. on behalf of its ESPN deal.

• And so now your kid, with school the next day, and you, with work the next day, and your dad, who has difficulty staying awake past 11 p.m.,

not only can't go,

• but getting rid of tickets, last minute, to a Sunday night game is a problem.

So what? Tough noogies. If you don't like it, lump it.

• It's not as if you didn't know that baseball considers you a sucker,

• that it hasn't had a commissioner

• since Bud Selig was named commissioner."
