I still say fuck the Marlins. Make them forfeit all 60 games including their performance enhanced Covid games against the Phillies.

Pretty sad we couldn’t even beat their diseased roster.

Not sure, but I am not here to answer the tough questions, just post the bullshit Brantt puts on Twitter.

Joe Girardi said this today on @MLBNetworkRadio: "If everyone doesn’t play 60 games, I think that’s all right. We want to get to the playoffs. That’s the important thing. If a team plays 57 games, you go by winning percentage to take the playoff teams and you go from there.”

Pretty much. I don't feel like getting crushed 800 times in the next few months.

Just shut sports down. I can't believe I am saying that but it is inevitable that people are going to be human and stupid.

Somehow Asian baseball players and European footballers are managing just fine.

I'm not sure what this post was about, but.....
COVID has already killed close to ten times as many Americans as your average year of murders. If the death rate of the last five months holds for the next five months, COVID will be the third leading cause of death to Americans this year.

The distinction between a schlemiel and a schlamazel came up a couple of weeks ago and this is the perfect example: The Marlins are the schlemiel and the Phillies are the schlamazel.

This is actually a good representation of 19th century baseball. Uneven number of games, teams folding in the middle of the season

No Marlins baseball until next week. Maybe no Phillies baseball until next week. Gawd, that rubber game on Sunday is really going to hurt us.

If you mean in the standings alone, not playing the Yankees is very much a good thing
