  1. Jim Callis was on NBCSC and said if they played this college season, Crochet wouldn’t have been available at 11. He liked the Kelley pick. Said they basically traded their 2nd, 3rd, 4th for 1st.
  2. I think gas stations get overlooked. There has to be as many germs hanging around there as anywhere. I definitely would not put gas in my car not wearing gloves. And would use hand sanitizer when I was done. Their employees make close to minimum wage. I would not want to trust they keep up with disinfecting. At a gas pump, you have no idea what was there 5 minutes before you.
  3. Exactly. People are required to wear seatbelts to save THEIR lives. Yet they think wearing a mask to protect others is against their civil rights.
  4. Apparently ignoring the science and just acting like it went away forever hasn't worked for some states.
  5. How much have suicides and OD's increased? I know that is a nice talking point, but have never actually seen anyone provide any sort of proof.I have no problem opening places up little by little, but at least make people, yes make them as in a law, wear a mask in public, until this this is actually contained. Write tickets for not conforming. If by me is any indication, you will have no problem collecting money.
  6. According to Crane Kennedy, the Sox and Cubs will probably play each other in a couple of exhibition games before the season starts.
  7. During the “negotiations” that ended with no deal, the owners seemed to think there would be no fans. Now maybe some fans. Seems a bit suspicious to me.
  8. Caesar’s has the Sox at 31.5 wins.Same as the Cubs.
  9. Yeah, I went to get a haircut, they took my temp with one of those things, 95.4. Good to go. If that thing is accurate and I am feeling normal............ I wonder what my real temp would have to have been to have it register 98.6 or near. Whatever it was, whoever was in there with me should be a bit nervous.
  10. There were more new cases of Covid 19 reported today in the US than ever before. Must be fake news. The Trump administration destroyed the coronavirus.
  11. As screwed up as the process to get to this point was, as strange as this "season" will be, I'm pretty sure I have never looked forward to a baseball season as much as I do this one right now.
  12. Trump administration is ending support to 13 Covid 19 testing sites across the country, 7 in Texas. Now the lackeys looking the other way is going to kill people. That this actually happens in America during a pandemic should stun everyone.
  13. Yes. Watching baseball again will be fun. Hopefully it lasts.
  14. The expanded playoffs, which included 2020 and 2021, was a minimum 14 games a season. That could have been sold. A universal DH could have meant more money being spent on players. Plus, it could have helped the sports public perception and an agreement could have been used as a springboard for the new CBA. But I won’t blame the players. Their 70 games had no chance, but the owners could have done the right thing and shown some grace and gone to 64 or 65, and let both parties save a little face over this fiasco.
  15. I will relax when it isn’t such a threat, and that may be without a vaccine. But I will not put myself in situations just asking for it, even though I don’t have any of the underlying conditions that are said to make the symptoms worse, and I also have type O blood which some studies say help the cause.
  16. Damn shame he couldn’t stay healthy. His numbers would have been beyond crazy.
  17. If any team knows how to handle 8k a game, its the White Sox.
  18. As a season ticketholder, I'm sure if the Sox allowed, i would get the chance, but I would pass. As much as I love going to games, and as much as I miss it, it isn't worth the risk until there is a vaccine or this thing just went away.
  19. Wouldn't surprise me if a lot like the elections, there is some foreign element on social media helping to fuel these fires. There will always be idiots, but every day I go out, I count how many masks I see on the first 20 people I encounter. My high mark last week was 7.
  20. That and despite what the Trump campaign is trying to tell everyone, most protesters were wearing masks.
  21. They are saying the campaign got played by teenagers on tik tok. I dont know how much of that is true as they claimed they had 1 million requests, but would have loved to have been able to claim 2 million requests. What it did do is give them no clue about the actual interest. Got them to set up a big stage outside for an overflow party. For all we know, if they knew the actual interest they may have cancelled the event sighting the Covid outbreak, which probably would have been better for public health, and the Trump campaign.
  22. It’s even worse. Are there really other politicians who would want to cut back testing during a pandemic, other than dictators.
  23. He blamed the protesters for scaring people away yet he just claimed he can get rid of protestors anywhere in an hour or less. Maybe a few more Oklahomans valued their health more than most thought. The other thing that is scary is many of Trumps rally attendees go to many rallies. These aren’t just locals, so It could stretch to other areas,
  24. Pretty soon, a lot sooner than anyone thinks, believe me, these 6 cases will be down to 0.
  25. 6 Trump campaign staffers on the Tulsa rally advance team, have tested positive for Covid 19. The stupidity is amazing.
