Baseball is Back!

[Guest Jonesy Bull]

I'm keeping an eye on this Yankee/ Nationals game, and its pretty surreal with the stadium completely empty.  Its going to be even stranger when the Hockey playoffs occur with no fans.  What a weird strange crazy year this has been.

Are we ready for real Pro Sports to come back tonight in Tampa Bay?

The Cardboard cutouts are going to be jumping for joy and dancing in the aisles for opening night!  hehe

This is very worrisome   What do you think should happen, Chapel?

My opinion, we should not stop Baseball all together......either make the Marlins play their non_Covid minor leaque team or make them stop operations for now....don't punish the rest of Baseball cause one team is not getting it right.

BTW, Tampa Bay is 3-1......GO RAYS!

The Astros deserve it.  You can't cheat yourself to a WS championship and no reprecusions!  They weren't exactly practicing the correct Covid protocols, but how can you really when playing Sports.  The Astros are lucky we are in a Covid season and not a regular season, otherwise they would be getting it left and right from both the fans and players.

Hey the Rays are 4-1......looking really good so far!

Marlins outbreak is a concern. 17 players and coaches

[chapelbull]

Rumor is one if not several Marlins player hit the clubs in Atlanta.   Philly has a few positives now a well.

Season in jeopardy due in part to some poor off field decisions:

Well then the Marlins management is to blame for this debacle.  Lay down the rules and if you don't follow them, then you are kicked off the team period.  It just takes one bad egg/team to ruin it for anybody.  Why can't they just "contract" the Marlins for this season only.  Its a fitting punishment.

That said, the way the Rays are going maybe a a cancellation of the season is not a bad idea......I can understand losing a couple games to the Braves, but then get swept by Baltimore frickin Orioles.  I understand there are peaks and valleys in a season....but thats inexcusable!
