Is Something Afoot?



While we were sleeping;  

     - a few more ballplayers have " opted out" of the planned 60 game season.

     -  Giancarlo and Aaron are still not recovered from their injuries

     - a few more teams have added players as " fodder " to their rosters, as emergency replacements

     - the number of Covid cases, and hospitalizations, is soaring almost everywhere.

     - a coherent national strategy remains in the hands of the Taliban

     - Brian Cashman is building a bunker. 

     - the Steinbrenner family has re-located to their penthouse in South Korea

I'm just saying....I am still of the opinion that this baseball season is simply not going to be. 

Unless, of course, they play all the games in a country like New Zealand.  

You know, where they know what they are doing....

I'M WITH YOU.

IT JUST DOESN'T MAKE SENSE TO ME THAT THEY WILL PLAY.

EXACTLY WHERE ARE ALL THESE GAMES GOING TO BE PLAYED?

POSITIVE CASES SUPPOSEDLY ON THE RISE.

I STILL CAN'T SEE IT.

Alphonso, aside from that fact that you speak the truth, whether you're stone-cold-sober or full-on-plastered, I agree with every word you say because I, too, hail from Yonkers, and we know the value of truth more than most. We, who come from the city of grift and pain, don't mince words.

So, yeah, what you said.

BUT...and this is the big "BUT," if the games DO air, I still think we should follow Duque's suggestion and make a ZOOM IIHIIF viewing room a component of EVERY LAST FUCKING GAME.

Me, I'm still pissed about that runner on second for each extra game.

A small thing, I know. But just the sort of camel's nose under the tent that is the beginning of the end.

It is such a terrible, unnecessary change—so alien to the whole rest of the history of the game—that it should not stand, even for this stunted parody of a season.

The fact that they could do this does not bode well.

They can play all the games in NYC. The virus here is not soaring, we've been through that. In fact, the Northeast is doing just fine at this point.

Yo, MLB. Over here. Stay outta the south and the west, NYC is da best.

They could play games at the Coney Island and Staten Island parks, even some college venues.
