Send this one back to the drawing board. Another swing and a miss.

Cora has the goodwill of fans here. If he goes elsewhere, they'll see him as a HOU guy.

They were being proactive and distancing themselves in case something showed up in the BOS investigation. When Cora was cleared, I bet they figured it'd be ok to bring him back at some point. It was a purely PR motivated move.

Then they should play every game in GA. Badstreet...

Me, I'd prefer fewer teams to play against. I hate interleague.

https://mlb.nbcsports.com/2020/04/29/latest-weird-suggestion-a-radically-realigned-three-division-league/ The latest radical idea came out last night when Bob Nightengale of USA Today reported that MLB has thought about starting in late June or early July with both the NL and AL totally scrapped and, in their places, a three-division setup consisting of 10 teams each with games being played in the actual home ballparks with no fans present. The plan, Nightengale says, would eliminate the need for players to be in isolation and would allow them to still play at their home ballparks. At the same time, it would greatly reduce travel. The setup would look like so, at least tentatively: EAST: Yankees, Mets, Red Sox, Nationals, Orioles, Phillies, Pirates, Blue Jays, Rays, Marlins CENTRAL: Cubs, White Sox, Brewers, Cardinals, Royals, Reds, Guardians, Twins, Braves, Tigers WEST: Dodgers, Angels, Giants, Athletics, Padres, Diamondbacks, Rockies, Rangers, Astros, Mariners

No more last place finishes.

https://www.rotoworld.com/baseball/mlb/player-news/headlines/9633116?utm_source=dlvr.it&utm_medium=twitter Ken Rosenthal of The Athletic writes that "those involved at the sport’s highest levels are increasingly confident" that MLB games will be played in 2020. While optimism is building -- in part because of the number of states lifting stay-at-home restrictions -- there's still no set plan for how exactly a season would work in the shadow of COVID-19. MLB is said to be evaluating a number of different scenarios -- including a limited number of states and stadiums where games could take place -- which will eventually have to be presented to the players' union. As Rosenthal notes within the piece, a possible start for Opening Day could range from mid-June to July 4, setting up an 80-100 game regular season which would run through October. The postseason would then stretch into November or perhaps early December. Players would need a brief training camp, likely somewhere around three weeks to get ready for regular season games. Much remains uncertain, but all signs point to games being played this year.

That's the good stuff. The original "In Search Of" was rad too.

Bigfoots and aliens are so cool. Why do these shows have to be so dorky?

I've tried to get into that show, but just can't do it. It doesn't hit the sweet spot for me. I just wish Cosmos wasn't hosted by a creep like Neil deGrasse Tyson so that I could watch that.

Slightly stronger in summer due to tilt, yes.

@RedSox 18 years ago... D-Lowe No-No!

Looks like we need some astronomy classes in here.

@FrancysRomero10 Sources: Yasiel Puig is very close to sign with San Francisco Giants, a source tells me. The contract amount is unknown, but would have a one-year option. Both sides, Puig and Giants are waiting for MLB to clarify the return date of baseball to make the official agreement.

Then why was there an outbreak in Miami?

Pfffft...

Wrong. I LOVE complaining!

Disagree. Have you seen a baseball game in the last decade?

Oh hell no. That’s like enjoying the crotch tugs.

Yuck

It gives me a reason to follow other teams.

It’s fine if the chase is more important than the human.
