I'm not ripping my fellow citizens of the Yankiverse -truth-tellers and factoid giants, all. But yeesh, there is nothing here, folks, nothing to say. The winter meetings - virtually, I'm sure - are a week away. Once we learn the fate of DJ LeMahieu, a Yankee strategy will emerge. Until then, how many thumb-suckers about Clarke Schmidt can you eat? Until then, we ride blind.
Which brings me to the NFL, where - OMG, Katie, bar the door! It's happening... the meltdown. We were spoiled by the NBA and MLB's apparent ease in running short seasons. We ripped the rule changes, raged at the expanded playoffs, threw asterisks at the results. But, damn, they pulled it off. And we thought it would happen again.
Well, football is facing a third and long. The Denver Broncos have four QBs in quarantine - not one to suit up - and John Elway remains retired. The Baltimore Ravens have lost 20 players to Covid. The San Francisco 49ers are now effectively an illegal operation in their home county. Considering the rise in Covid cases, it seems inevitable that other teams will crash. Folks, the wolf is at our door. Those fuzzy-headed scientists who predicted a long, dark winter? Maybe they knew something.
One thing my dad used to say - and I offer it to anybody who thinks Covid is just a hoax...
Sometimes, when everybody says it's raining, it's raining.
There is only one news story today: We have to hunker down. We have to get through this. If we can weather this winter, MLB's timeline looks relatively friendly.
By mid-February, when pitchers and catchers would arrive, vaccines should be available by the millions. (Though it's a loaded question as to whether pro athletes should be moved to the front of the line.)
By April, teams should be inoculated, and there might even be the means for small crowds to assemble. (Though it could be mid-summer before the turnstiles move.)
By this time next year, we could be sitting relatively easy... and still be wondering about Domingo German.

Now is the winter of our discontent...
Every preventable natural disaster ever, starts with people ignoring "those fuzzy-headed scientists."
Those fuzzy-headed scientists should teach their testers some lessons. My daughter got a two tests approximately 14 hours apart in August. [She is a teacher in NC they made her take two] One came back positive, the other negative. She still had to teach remotely for ten days.
One 10-year-old in her class tested negative by the family doctor and came to school. The parents followed all protocols, and she was allowed to return to school. The kid felt bad again that night and was re-tested and came up positive. No one else in the class got Covid, although the kid had been in school with seven other kids all day. [They are staggering the classes so that only 7 kids a day show pat the building, the rest are remote.]
Just saying, while it is not a hoax, there is a lot of fuzziness still about what is actually going on. Hospitalization and death may be the only reliable metric

A-, I can't teach you all the relevant problems with testing reliability in this space. And I can't be bothered to try anyway. Try Google School of Medicine.
What I loved, too, was that Michael Kay was REALLY sore at Ma Boone for taking a backhanded slap at unnamed media people, who he claimed have "overreacted" about Gary Sanchez's complete and total meltdown.
Fine, that's silly, they didn't overreact. So what?
