Good Afternoon, I'm Kimberly McBroom.
There's activity at the baseball talks in New York.
But it remains to be seen whether it'll lead to an agreement that'll arrive in time to stop a players' walk-out this afternoon.
Players and their union leaders are believed to be looking at a counter- proposal from owners that came early this morning.
Meanwhile, baseball fans across the country aren't showing much sympathy for either the owners or the players.
Jim Acosta is in New York, and joins us now with the latest on the negotiations.

The continuing drought has led Governor Mark Warner to restrict water use for much of the state.
Today he banned lawn watering for all of the state except for the Washington suburbs and the Southwestern tip of the state.
Warner said he's taking the action despite several days of rain, because the rain had litttle effect on the long-term drought.

Warner's executive order makes lawn watering illegal for residents of the Shenandoah, James, Rappahannock, Chowan, York and Roanoke River basins.
It's also illegal to wash cars or fill home swimming pools in those regions.
Commercial car washes are exempt.
So are golf courses that water at night.
The new restrictions supersede local watering restrictions.
Warner says he may impose more strict limits if these don't save enough water.
He also ordered state agencies to curb water use by at least 15 percent.

He was killed the night of May 11th.
Police shot Hunt after storming his apartment to rescue his girlfriend whom he reportedly was holding hostage.

Regardless, many in the African American community feel officers didn't need to use lethal force.
