If this forum dies and we can't find another forum in 2020 then I'll just accept change and finally start a blog.

I think this is stuff the players agreed to back in March when this all began? And all the negotiations were the owners just trying to shortchange the players from their original agreement to take a prorated salary? Union refused to give in so the owners finally agreed to just pay them and take the original deal. I think?

Both are covered under the health and safety changes the players agreed to, but will not be in force for 2021.

Illinois is moving to Phase 4, which allows limited attendance at sporting events, so the Dogs are playing home games again in July. As much as I would enjoy reuniting the Chicagoland Baseball Oafs, I can't imagine trying to go to a live sporting event right now, holy moly.

Based on my limited driving around the suburbs it'll probably be packed.

Given Houston’s current exponential rate of infection thanks to Abbott and the rest of the GOP death cult, there’s no loving way anyone sitting in MMP for 3+ hours in late July is going to escape without catching covid. The whole idea of a truncated season even happening with actual crowds across the country is absolutely insane to me.

Not just crowds in seats, but crowds waiting in line together to go through security and have tickets scanned. Concourses are spacious, but they ain’t that spacious even when you’re talking about reduced capacity crowds of 10k+.

I hope a team I don't like wins the series this year. It would be a huge disappointment but probably on brand if the jays or mariners won a garbage season championship.

If the season actually starts, the Yankees will have the entire 40-man roster test positive for COVID. And 20 of the will be injured somehow during the testing process.

This will still be better than the Mets season somehow.

CBC was saying the jays might play at the trop, in which case they'll go like 5-25 at home because they suck there.
