SO MUCH FOR THE SCHEDULE

Olympics, MLB have had timetables thrown completely out of whack

but that still leaves a 7,777-hour gaping crater in its schedule July 24 to Aug. 9.

Sadly, NBC only has three viewable properties: the Olympics, ‘‘The Voice’’ and ‘‘America’s Got Talent.’’ And, sure, America’s

talent, but I don’t know if my beloved, beleaguered homeland has enough talent to fill all the network’s needs.

As for MLB, it is contemplating a lot of less-than- optimal options.

There is still a glimmer of hope for a June 1 or July 1 start, with the possibility of playing initially at empty stadiums. So it would be your typical Opening Day for the

Miami Marlins.

MLB might use spring-training parks in Florida and Arizona, quarantining the teams in those areas and operating with no crowds until the pandemic allows otherwise.

In any compacted scenario, every day is precious, which means doubleheaders are back, baby! I assume they still will be separate admissions because, even though baseball fans will have no money, the 1 percent still needs to make up for lost yachting and penthouse revenue.

Speaking of which, super-agent Scott Boras — FYI: ‘‘super-agent’’ here is a euphemism for ‘‘uberwealthy’’ — floated a proposal, and because he negotiated ONE BILLION DOLLARS worth of player contracts this offseason, he has considerable financial interest in this.

Boras wants a summer start and, when the temperatures drop in the fall, points to 11 stadiums that are domes or warm-weather sites in which postseason games could be played. He envisions a neutral-site World Series, with Game 6 being played on Christmas. Christmas? The NBA’s holiest day? Wow. Maybe they should play

Game 7 in Bethlehem.

Various models have 162-game, 144-game or 100-game seasons. Or — here’s a thought — they could just skip to the postseason directly. Have Joe Lunardi seed the teams 1 to 30, then engage in autumnal March Madness. Call it September Insanity!

My solution? Play the entire season on Strat- O-Matic Baseball. There would be no weather worries, and the Astros can’t steal signs.
