I never thought this was going to work and I don't think they will finish the season because this will be an on going concern (even if you believe it is all BS). The "abundance of caution" bug has bit us all.

Doesn't really matter to me anyway because I am not watching.

‘The “abundance of caution” bug has bit us all.’

this ‘abundance of caution’ has left us all with a ‘dearth of intelligent and independent thought...’

and you’re right; it will kill any attempt at sports...

20 minutes of flooding the clubhouse with the proper UV light would eradicate any virus there.

BTW, if the clubhouse is left unoccupied for 24 hours that should be more than enough time to kill any virus, but then again this probably isn’t really about the virus as it is just another reason to disrupt.

So they tested positive? Were they sick? If they were sick, was it anything more than sniffles?

Just wait until schools reopen. The media will tell us children are testing positive in huge numbers. But will it matter at all?

Nationals?! Marlins?! Phillies?! Half the season is spent playing National League teams? No games against the White Sox, Tigers, Indians, teams they played EVERY season for 100 years? Insanity. There is no regular season. There is only a summer version of spring training.

Exactly. The Left needs "the fear" to last until the election, so "normal" things like sports and school are OUT!

You don't understand. It is a Covid Death Sentence™. There is simply no argument as the science is settled.

I used to be a Yankees fan until everyone on the team took a knew with their backs toward the American Flag the other day. I hope every one of the contracts a case of CoVid-19 which places ev ry one of them on ventilators in deBallsio’s New York.

I now have great respect of a Giants relieve pitcher (Coonrod) who is the only member of that team who refused to kneel to the Antifa/BLM/Bolshevik demands. May God Bless him and his family.

They shouldn’t have knelt on the field. Kneel only to The Lord.

Good, now they can’t put Black Lives Matter across the pitchers mound. Hope Major League Baseball never returns.
