Theo Epstein Resigns; Hoyer Stays
Wouldn’t it be funny if the Cubs went through all of what they went through for an extra year of control with Bryant to ultimately not want it?

November 17,2019 was the date of the first confirmed case of Covid 19 in China. Happy Birthday.

The one thing I can think of is they are leveraged to the hilt. They basically took over most of the area around the park, and they aren't obviously getting any of the revenue they were expecting. They set it up to cash registers working all day, not just during the game, and the pandemic made it zero.

They could get something for Bryant. Schwarber to me is a non tender candidate. Babe Ruth they called him back in the day.

Yes, this makes sense. If they were going to give it one more shot, you would think Theo would stick around, but it looks like that won't happen.

Patrick Williams seems like the second coming of Tyrus Thomas to me.

I bet he winds up with the Phillies, although he supposedly is taking a year off.

That's what I was thinking. Theo needs an open checkbook. I am thinking the Cubs are going the other way. Ricketts bought up the neighborhood, and couldn't get the cash registers to light up this year. He's probably really hurting, and it probably will take years to get out.

If he wasn't going to stay being 2021, it makes no sense for him to be here now with the decisions they must make. Bye Theo. The Cubs are starting to turn back into the Cubs.

Biden's percentage of the vote is the highest of any challenger vs an incumbent since FDR.

He also pulled in more votes against than any other candidate. As a dem, I hope he runs again. It won't be about Biden, although Biden has said he is a one termer, it will be anti Trump. The craziness has gotten to people. The grift will be exposed. He will probably spend the rest of his life defending himself in court, golfing and having rallies as a fake president to pay for it all.

Actually the FBI recently said hate crimes are at an all time high. So racism is pretty rampant.

How sad. Listening to Trump used to only clean out your bank account. Now it can kill you. A South Dakota ER nurse @JodiDoering says her Covid-19 patients often “don’t want to believe that Covid is real.” “Their last dying words are, ‘This can’t be happening. It’s not real.’ And when they should be... Facetiming their families, they’re filled with anger and hatred.”

2020 NBA Offseason Thread
Harden isn't going to win the Bulls championships, but in the NBA you win the trade when you get the best player, and the Bulls can give up a lot of players but none as good as he is. That said, I have no idea why he would want to get out of Houston, but would be OK coming to the Bulls. But he is way better than anyone the Bulls have, and if they have space, if he is on the roster, there is a far greater chance at a free agent star in the future.

It's getting a little better with the mask wearing around me the last week or so. The standard used to be they had a mask they but held it. That probably counted in the data as someone who wore a mask. I was waking on the sidewalk yesterday and a woman was approaching in front of me with no mask. She coughed without even trying to block anything. I ran to the other side of the street. She looked at me like I was the crazy one.

If you are lucky, you will get it in April, probably a little later. Trump already tweeting how the vaccines were created under his watch. No mention of the dead.

The national debt is $27,190,176,826,089, which is up $7.25 trillion under Trump who said he’d eliminate the debt and it would be easy.

2020 Election Thoughts
The massive voter fraud cover up in PA is now being argued that while the observers were 6 feet away, they were only 6 feet away from the first row of counters. Seems what they are saying in court and what is being tweeted and screamed on Fox News don't exactly add up. I guess you have to be a little more honest when your law license is on the line.

President continuing to try to save American lives from his golf course. Wasn't there a certain someone who used to go on Fox News and complain Obama was golfing?

We are turning the corner. This will just go away. If your governor puts restrictions in place, listen to Dr. Atlas and rise up. No need to follow the science. It's gotten us to this point.

So Trump and Kayleigh went from the winner needs to be declared the day of the election to now, no matter what the numbers say, you need every ballot counted first, except in states that favor Trump.
