    Tiger King is weirdly captivating. Their documentaries - many of which are not original - are pretty good. I recommend “Beyond the Curve” about the Flat Earthers...

    Actually if televised baseball was on, it would keep myself and millions of others occupied and indoors every night...

    They could use all that silicon to make computer chips instead!!

    I think I’d be ok with Worcester Polar Bears. Rename Polar Park “The North Pole: Home of the Polar Bears.” Polar Soda more than gets their money’s worth for advertising revenue.

    Sea Dogs is ok. Salem and Pawtucket/Worcester are the ones that need help...

    The only issue I have is Portland is the one semi-exciting farm name the Sox already have. They do need to purge the name “Red Sox” from all the levels below MLB and work on upgrading there...

    Nice, but no WOW factor. We need some Iron Pigs/Sand Gnats style wow factor here. Warlocks is good, except the team is in Salem, Virginia...

    So.... mask shortage in Tampa?

    Okk but this does not solve the original problem in the OP. Unless they unveil a new team nickname and logo, like "Welcome to McCoy Stadium: Home of the Pawtucket Blobfish"

    See, my wife teaches middle school and has a December date, which makes the whole thing moot. The big problem in her district is tha many of the families are very poor and even homeless. School is dirt cheap day care and a source of free meals. And lot of these families don't take time off to see doctors regularly, because it means taking time out of work. As result, a lot of children go unvaccinated...

    Schools have also moved immunization dates back so far it doesn't matter if the kid ever gets them or not. My wife's district requires them before December. At that point, the kids have all already infected each other anyway...

    Why not? ESPN is running old games. What's less exciting than a game with pre-determined outcome? Last week I watched a replay of a 2013 Patriots-Broncos game. Sure I loved watching the Patriots rally back from a 24-0 halftime deficit, but do you think ratings in Denver were any good? As an audience member, I don't care if the Sox play the Twins or the White Sox. I just want games...

    Why not just play in the Spring Training facilities in FLA and AZ? Instead of AL and NL, standing could be the Grapefruit/Cactus league standings, regardless of league. Players could travel by bus and reduce outside exposure. World Series is Grapefruit champion vs. Cactus champion. And every team uses the DH. Let's not let the stupidest rule in baseball be an obstacle here...

    I think it might be. Even the Reds couldn't get one together with two Boone's in the lineup. The Big Red Machine had handful of MLB dads, including Griffey Sr. , Pete Rose, Tony Perez, Pedro Borbon Sr, Ross Grimsley and Ed Sprague. But I think only 5 of them were ever teammates at once. I remember one year the Dodgers had 4 shortstops in Spring Training and all were sons of Major Leaguers. But they weren't all starting in the infield at once...

    I know. Dump that Netflix stock now! (Although this Tiger King show is actually quite interesting.)

    OK, this is something I have often wondered, but never had a legit locked down answer. What MLB team had the most fathers of future MLB players on it? What MLB team had the most sons of former MLB players on it? And (assuming there is a season), will the 2020 Blue Jays have the first ever infield where all 4 starters (Travis Shaw, Cavan Biggio, Bo Bichette, Vlad Guerrero Jr.) are sons of former major leaguers?

    I want this post back at the bottom to instill some reactions. This is the best news we've had in the past 2 weeks...

    I know. This virus is getting viral...
  22. notin
    True. The thing also is, there is a difference between actually being re-infected and just having enough residual virus left in your system to test positive again. So far, as many as eight strains appear to have been identified, but symposiums or lack of symptoms does not appear to be connected to any individual strain...

    I had not heard that. Some reading on the subject https://thehill.com/changing-america/well-being/prevention-cures/487436-can-you-get-coronavirus-twice

    Have our pleas been heard? https://www.mlbtraderumors.com/2020/04/2020-season-increasingly-likely-to-begin-without-crowds.html

    But are they legal? Like it or not, I could see some sort of ACLU fight over religious rights per the First Amendment...
