Will The MLB Suspend The 2020 season

[notin]

Did some stocking up today.

 

Got your one year supply of Canadian bacon, beaver tails and Tim Horton’s? But you forgot the LaBatts!!

The sale of sex toys has gone up markedly everywhere, but Canada leads the way with a 135% increase. Could explain the toilet paper panic.

 

And the lack of panic from the moose...

No seriously.

 

That may be my favorite line from that movie.

Weeeeeeeeeeeeed.......

 

Am I the only person on Earth who outgrew that stuff?

[notin]

No seriously.

 

That may be my favorite line from that movie.

 

 

Really?

 

Over “Couldn’t I have just a little peril?”

[mvp 78]

So good.

Haven’t had any in over a decade. Bell on the other hand....

[SoxHop]

Really?

 

Over “Couldn’t I have just a little peril?”

 

AHAHAH. I had to look that one up, can't believe I forgot it. Too many great quotes from that movie.

 

My favorite for a while was the enchanter talking about the bone structure and fangs of the cute little bunny.

Over “Couldn’t I have just a little peril?”

 

I thought we were an autonomous collective?

Great scene.

The whole Dennis scene just really speaks to me.

 

The guards of Swamp Castle are great too.

Re-watch the scene on youtube, it's brilliant. Watery tart throwing scimitars and people being oppressed. And coconuts and stuff.

Its possible that Italy was testing even fewer people than we have been testing. As testing goes up the numbers will go up too.

 

Deaths, unfortunately is the only solid way to record this. The US did f*** all testing at the beginning when it was spreading like crazy. We're always about a week or two behind the actual real numbers due to incubation periods.

 

Deaths are the only real barometer, as long as they aren't being hidden under other causes.

I keep asking. If there is no season, what will happen with Service Time. Will Mookie be a Free Agent in November, if there is no baseball in 2020?

 

Rosenthal is reporting that the owners and union are already discussing a number of the issues pertaining to cancellation of the season, and service time is one of the issues. So they're going to have to hammer out some sort of agreement.

I stocked up on all that stuff, and no, I didn't forget the beer. Also loaded up on weed and sex toys. Sadly, in my excitement, what I forgot about was the toilet paper.

Just eat less fiber for a while...

So it must not be properly discussed in the CBA then.

[Bellhorn04]

It must not be covered, agreed.

Good deal. Stay safe, my friend.

Just saw this. Not sure if it means the vaccine is ready for testing soon or if it has already been tested. But its encouraging. I think we will likely have a vaccine within a year. Going to be a tough year though.

 

"Israeli scientists are on the cusp of developing the first vaccine against the novel coronavirus, according to Science and Technology Minister Ofir Akunis. If all goes as planned, the vaccine could be ready within a few weeks and available in 90 days, according to a release.

“Congratulations to MIGAL [The Galilee Research Institute] on this exciting breakthrough,” Akunis said. “I am confident there will be further rapid progress, enabling us to provide a needed response to the grave global COVID-19 threat,” Akunis said, referring to the disease caused by the novel coronavirus."

 

It still might take a year to be widely available, but I am sure they are going to fast track this.

 

Encouraging indeed.

 

What's the current thought on how well the virus will survive in summer temps?

[mvp 78]

Well, people are currently sick in Miami, so I don't think it'll make a difference.

Once again, I did not get the reference and have no idea what movie that is from, which left me wondering why the heck MVP posted that.

Some of us never got into the stuff.

[jad]

Me too. However, I got back into it as a sleep aid a couple of years ago (I don't drink, blessedly), and right now? I am damn glad I did!

No realli! She was Karving her initials on the moose with the sharpened end of an interspace toothbrush given her by Svenge—her brother-in-law— an Oslo dentist and star of many Norwegian movies: "The Hot Hands of an Oslo Dentist", "Fillings of Passion", "The Huge Molars of Horst Nordfink"...

[Hitch]

Encouraging indeed.

 

What's the current thought on how well the virus will survive in summer temps?

 

It's spreading heavily in Florida, and Chinese scientists tested it up to 38 degrees on a surface and it survived for over three days. So while there's still hope, it looks unlikely the heat will affect it too much.

You're not alone. I have no idea on most these references either.
