Batting practice? Oh fuck

$3 margarita and taco special from Taco Cabana -love national tequila day.

Nothing like opening day even if it's 103 outside.

So where will the money making opportunities be when we're fully reopened? Start a restaurant because half closed during the pandemic? "Home" needs businesses because folks like the change? Short Amazon?

I believe Winn-Dixie went the opposite way and declared no masks.

That stadium is for the birds. I'm sorry.

I want reality.

5A and 6A are delayed with the state finals in January. 1A through 4A are starting close to normal. The idea is the larger schools are in urban areas with greater rates of infection. Small schools are more rural and less likely to see outbreaks. Volleyball and Cross Country were similarly affected. Once I relinquish my position it is highly unlikely I would get it back. We're a top program and it's a destination position not a steppingstone.

I am much more effective, with a hell of a lot less stress and work on my part, in the classroom compared to virtual. I tell stories and start discussions. The Socratic method is my go to teaching style. It does not translate well. The first principal I worked with was an ex infantryman. Whenever there was an issue that some people wanted changed his line was "is this a hill you want to die on?" He meant it as a metaphor, now it's real. It seems my choice will be either remain a coach and be in the classroom or request a virtual teaching assignment and retire from coaching. Is it a hill I want to die on?

Having Ozzie as a manager in 2020 makes as much sense as plucking a reality tv show participant and making them president. It would never happen.

MoI believe they can keep playing with players on the DL for Covid related illnesses and quarantines. Eventually we'll see some AA guys getting a chance against AAA pitching in MLB ballparks with virtual fans. The world series will be decided by each team nominating one player to play MLB Slugfest at the ESPN studios. At this point anyone could make up anything and it seems possible.

Now what happens three weeks from now when a team is blocked from their stadium? It could happen. This may be the most interesting season ever.

One option is playing all road games. The MiLB option seems to be off the table. Players want MLB level comfort.

Pittsburgh just turned them down. They may not have any home games.

Thank you. I'm in the best shape I've been in since my 20s. I'm asymptomatic and will probably stay that way for many years. Overall the diagnosis has been a positive.

Before we get started at some point a team will be declared the champion of the 2020 season. Will there be an asterisk? Do you think it will ever be considered a legit win? Will it matter what team wins? It seems like if a long shot wins there will always be a but when describing the win.

Did both. I may be hooked on The Athletic in a year

Obscure as a judge. I'm at Brandeis which is comfortable politically. Not that namesakes have much influence.

We were about 80 miles from him the nearest charge to us was 50 miles past us. But it's just a matter of time before those situations are eliminated.

My district uses Supreme Court Justices. Some household names like Marshall or O'Connor. Some more obscure like Harlan or Taft

So nine months from now we have a vaccine that a portion of the population isn't rushing to get. What will diagnosis and treatment look like?

Stimulating the economy.

The have a Churchill so Texan isn't even necessary. But I agree, Murphy would be great.

Ours is so mild we can't get a quorum at our annual meeting. Mow your yard once a month, put away your trash bins, and you are fine.

I don't think I'm any more optimistic or pessimistic on a vaccine than I am on treatments. Six months ago we were almost no where with treatments. We are better today, and will continue to get better. (I believe) Today we don't have a vaccine. When one is developed we will be better off that day, and it will continue to get better. It's not one over the other, we're just further down the road with one path.
