Illinois governor tonight was subject of a report on that station nobody seems to like (FOX News) as the governor who has proven to be one of the most power hungry governors during COVID. Michigan and Cali up there too. The piece did not present him in a positive light. Just wondered how you all would rate his performance during COVID 1 through 10. I know Illinois is losing a lot of population because of taxes; If and I say IF he's perceived as a bad governor, maybe even more will bolt from the city and state. Don't shoot the messenger; just saying what tonight's report was on TV. I'd give the Kansas governor a 3 out of 10.

There is a scene in the Jungle where Jurgis is working on a farm. It's after the harvest and he learns that the farmer is sending him on his way. Posed with the same question, why should I pay you if there is no work, Jurgis looks at the farmer's horse and explains the horse has no work, yet you will feed and house him all winter, aren't people worth the same?

Yep, we saved tons of money by going college senior in every round 5-10 last year. That is quite literally impossible this year.

Rob Manfred is the dumbest motherfucker on the planet. He's squandering a once in a lifetime opportunity to showcase baseball. He is going to kill the sport.

Class organization. Good on the Royals. This is something the ivy league front offices of today just don't understand.

Trump terminating US relationship with WHO. That is not good.

While it would be nice, why should they pay people who aren't working and it's not under their control? If the owners purposely have them not working thats one thing. But when they are told that their workers can't work and you can't have revenue, it's a tough call.

Yes. Back then you could punt the 4 to 5 pick and still get legitimate prospects in the 6th and 7th round but with 5 rounds you want 5 legitimate prospects because you don't know who you can get later for 20k

The poorest owner has what, 10x those funds available?

Theoretically, yes but I'm not sure punting 2/5 picks makes much sense. You should get the 5 best players you can sign in my opinion.

My late preacher said masks are for wusses and atheists.

I would love Mitchell as the pick. Take the high ceiling defensive speedster. I am still an advocate for pitching, pitching, pitching but I favor Mitchell over Bailey if we are going hitters first.

So far only three states have met CDC guidelines for reopening: Illinois, Connecticut, and New York. https://thehill.com/changing-america/well-being/prevention-cures/499915-only-three-states-have-met-the-white-houses Great job by the governors for exhibiting patience in their handling. Proud of my home state and current state. My dad lives in Arizona now, but still handles some legal cases for Illinois that he has to appear in court for, so I'm glad he'll be safer flying than if things were rushed.

excellent. 26k tests were run yesterday with only 1500 new cases, a positive rate of 5.8%

I think we should execute you and Gio... just to be safe and cover all of our bases.

Aaron Nola was another who many thought had more of a floor than ceiling.
