As I have gotten older, I definitely appreciate the less obvious forms that racism takes. I grew up in a really diverse community and am still learning about the more subtle forms going on these days.

This is happening a ton in US care facilities, as well as prisons, we have just done a great job of ignoring it just like the rest of the death toll here.

Its funny how much my position has evolved here as I have gotten older.

Its almost like this is an act, being done on purpose...

Are you referring to your posting on this topic? Because if so, I fully agree.

2 seasons even.

These guys are billionaires for a reason. If someone was willing to pay me $10 million a year to look like an asshole to the country, so my bosses didn't have to, I would happily do it. I get punched in the face at work for less than 1% of what Manfred is making.

I think it is obvious that Manfred was playing a four corners offense to try to shorten the season without negotiations by delay. The guy is an eight figure salary, and his entire existence is to do exactly what the owners who paid and appointed him tell him to do. He just got to be the guy to take the public black eye in exchange for his millions. And he did it like a professional.

Why though? No one ever complains about the NCAA tournament no matter who wins.

Its funny, but I think the most successful post season tournament is the NCAA basketball playoffs. It is one game and done, and the whole world loves the upsets. Once you get past the initial snub talk after the brackets are released, the talk is all about winners and losers, and the big upsets. You every rarely hear any talk about the top team losing out early hurting the tournament as instead people fall in love with the underdogs.

This is one of the least surprising posts you have ever made.

No. just these two seasons, the rest would have to be negotiated.

I would rather see smaller playoffs, but if this is what gets a season going again, count me as a fan.

This is a good point. They can have the discussion and even have a framework in place without having an agreement. Remember there are a lot of lawyers involved here.

But isn't 2030 yet?

This. Walking away.

I have read your posts for way too long to believe that. This is the classic overreact part of the overreact then apologize cycle. Take a breath man.

I pity your Jump to Conclusions mat.

You just wrote off an entire decade, and that is thinking positive? lol, no. Try again man.

I am constantly amazed at your ability to turn any small bit of bad news into the end of the world. The amount of assumptions in here to create a certain narrative is staggering.

I think you underestimate the Sox willingness to use Eloy in the OF. They want him to learn the position. If Vaughn is as good as we hope, he will find a place on this roster very soon.

Again, Scandinavia's deaths per millions from COVID: Sweden 499 (7th in the world) Finland 59 (39th in the world) Norway 45 (49th in the world) Cases per million people Sweden 5404 (16th) Norway 1602 (60th) Finland 1285 (66th) Repackaging the data into a different format to obscure it doesn't change the underlying data. Sweden has gotten hit WAY harder than its neighbors.

The last deal I hear Cease mentioned in was for Thor.
