Quite possible. Amazing that people can't do the simplest things - wear masks, maintain social distance, and clean your hands regularly. I'm not surprised that pro baseball players were the first ones to screw this up - they tend to be the most pampered/insular pro athletes and MLB is a pretty weak organization. If you had to pick a sport where they were going to blow this then baseball had to be at the top of the list.

As for wearing masks, you have to wonder why baseball can't wear masks, even during the game - you watch guys play in the postseason and when they play in a really cold place then you frequently see guys play the game while wearing neck gaiters pulled up as masks. I get that it's hot in the summer, but why couldn't they wear masks like that? Pretty much likely to be a rhetorical question as baseball is bound to close shop, if not this week then at the next outbreak.

I honestly thought the NBA would crash and burn first, simply because the whole game is sweaty men humping each other. You figure one guy has that shit in a game, every player on the court will have it the next day.

MLB has the LEAST amount of contact of the four major sports, plus even soccer.

I thought the piped in crowd noise was pretty good. Just having the game on the tv and doing stuff around the house and it sounded like it normally does. Granted, the Phil opted not to pipe in the crowd booing, so I missed that, otherwise it felt authentic.

I listened to an inning on the radio on Saturday while driving. Radio is not piping in fake sound. The best part was that you could hear people heckling Bryce Harper. Larry Andersen explained that they were standing outside a gate in the outfield and with no fans in the stadium, you could hear them clear as day on the broadcast. I'm sure the organization has since put up barricades to keep them farther away. I love Philadelphia fans.

Reports are there are no Phillies testing positive. One person part of the visiting clubhouse staff has tested positive.

And something to make you really trust these tests, a Marlin who twice tested positive has now tested negative.

May as well go ahead and write this season off. The Phillies already have ~10% of their season to try to make up.

Boy did the Miami Marlins ever fuck things up.

There is no way in hell FCS football gets played this fall. The page is full of tiresome bizon fans who are still whining about the Oregon game (GOD I WISH IT HAD BEEN PLAYED)

I can’t think of a better time for the Byesun to move up! Go to FBS and play! I’ll even cheer for you in the Spanky’s Hamburgers Northwest Transtesticle Bowl when you play Boise State!

Please go

And where would the Bison go? They are too small for the nearest FBS conference, Big10 or 12. JMU is right up there and not far from possibly winning the last 3 of 4 championships. Good program and a little luck has kept this run going. It's not going to to last forever. Just enjoying it while it happens.

Gil, you (and WB) are not part of the insufferable bizumb herd. Those thundering turds think that they came into FCS naked, starving and broke and achieved the pinnacle of success with hard work and no luck and that other teams just need to follow their example. They also think they would have won several more natties if they would have been eligible from the start despite the fact that they were also supposedly naked, starving and broke at the time. Their yin and yang is hubris and insecurity.

AHEM

Nobody is bad enough to merit the title of Thundering Turd

not even the bizons

That title is exclusively reserved for Marshall ... and the jersey is retired
