'21 rules discussions
I like the 7 inning double header although I'm not looking forward to game record controversy. Is 21 up 21 down a perfect game? Or will be start tracking 7 inning game records?

COVID-19/Coronavirus thread
In most states the underlying principle has been these are electives and we can adopt standards more stringent than what is required of other students. In discussing this with coaches in my area we believe it's allowable to require vaccine before participating. However, with very little data to support it, anecdotal evidence locally seems to support little transmission between participants in competitions. The outbreaks we have seen have all been contained within that team.

No he didn't. The easiest way to think of it was he had bets on both teams. He was going to win one of those bets. Robin hood's app was trying to get him to pay his losses while ignoring his winnings. In a side note, this is old news that a media company is pulling up to capture eyeballs.

SS2K5 is shopping the movie rights to this place. So far we can get a movie done and it will only cost us half a million.

I visited a customer who had framed Enron shares on his wall. He said he bought the certificates on Ebay and framed them as a reminder to always invest in himself. I always wondered if they were fakes.

Why not prioritize large urban areas first? Rural areas do not seem to have the number of cases that urban cities have.

Have the White Sox "spent the money" that Rick Hahn promised?
I really don't care how much they spend if they are winning.

MLB considering 154 game and delayed schedule
Hmm, 2022 the Sox would have one of the best teams in the league and a labor issue would keep them from playing. Where have I heard that before? Fuck.

Why is it that most people I know received the vaccine by waiting outside a vaccine location waiting for "leftovers"? This system is badly flawed. This is America. Why can't I buy my way to the front of the line?

The issue I would have is recharging. We're generally boondocking without any way to reliably recharge. Which forum? I'm usually on Jayco and popupportal. We replaced our pup years ago but I still enjoy that site.

In a far less of a look than I would if I was investing real money I see $35 to $40 by April 1st. That's based on a few of the summaries I've read and a hunch that some will hang on. I'm interested in what some of you that took a deeper look are thinking.

Mickey Callaway accused of sexual harassment
I think fans went from defending players and coaches while blaming the victims a decade ago and are now more willing to call out behavior like Calloway's. Just dropping the public defending was a step in the right direction. We should also acknowledge that fans accept women in coaching and front office roles. I'm not certain that would have been the case at the turn of the century. No doubt there are more women and men that don't report it, and probably some people that rightfully lose sleep at night worried they will. And there is still a long ways to go. But I'm encouraged by the pace on the path and direction we're going as a sport. I believe the pace isn't linear, but exponential.

Realistic expectation for Vaughn in 21
Agreed. I see some areas that were probably better. But overall simulated games can't fully match. I hadn't thought about it before because it's such an out of the box idea, but cutting the MiLB season back and allowing stretches for teams to work out like they did last season may be better for player development.
