    Or it may have been a trick to reset the market.
    Take money out of circulation.
    Kill all the surplus jobs and workers and pensioners.
    Let the wealthy get out in front of those middle classes gaining on them.
    By killing a bogey they put up high so everyone can see it in effigy as it's corona goes up in flames.

    Who owns the most advanced hydronuclear powered mega yacht/ark in the universe?
    Where was Bail Gates last night.
    What does bail gates and coronavirus have in common?

    Just got the SI baseball preview edition.

    It sounds so anachronistic now.

    Crazy how fast things have changed.

    Either he hacked his way through IBM and Xerox to turn the locked down computer into a brothel for viruses.
    But that's old news.
    Last year he was using his philanthropy money to run a coronavirus pandemic simulator.
    The solution to that computer game is 65 million dead.
    Yay for population control to put a dent in the war against world hunger and poverty.

    It's like if you are fighting a war against Satan... What do you do?
    Do you wait him out and fight him face to face.
    Or do you put your best analytics on the job and come up with a zero sum solution?
    Because if you kill off all the sinners then Satan won't have anyone to temp and he will die on his own and we will live happily ever after as God heroes until we die.
    And Satan goes super saiyan and comes back in his true red dragon form nuking everyone who thought he was dead.

    I played that game already.
    You gotta kill the dragon within.
    Not try to destroy all the thralls around you.
    That just makes you into a dragons pet.

    Uncharted waters. The only example close to this was the baseball strike that ended a season. But the rules were different then.

    Wouldn't even care.
    It's not like Mookie is Adrian Beltre or Mike Piazza. True Dodgers that we lost. It's cool to have a talented player like him to make the team better, but if we never see him play in Dodger Blue it's not going to feel like a loss to me.

    If the Dodgers are playing I want them to win. If they're not playing, it's truly a vacation from pain not unlike the off-season.

    I have to believe there will be some season to play. 162 games is too long anyway. Maybe this will force all leagues to rationalize their schedules. 162 and 82 games are just too long.

    MLB is being very optimistic, thinking they will still get in 162. They want the TV revenue.

    Not sure why people are speaking so matter-of-factly about half or the entire season being cancelled.

    They're happy as pigs in shit because the Dodger " blockbuster" trade amounts to a hill of beans if cancelled.
    And of course, the scumbag Asstros just sit back and let any anger or resentment dissipate into thin air.

    Because baseball is just for sport.
    Sports are to pass the time between wars.
    Not during one.

    Because big picture, losing 80 games isn’t that big of a deal. Extending the season into October and throwing in double headers every other day, just seems extreme. So at a certain point we need to be realistic. An 82 game season with playoffs and a WS works for me, I’d prefer more, but we should all know 162 is a luxury and not a necessity. Anyone who thinks the season is starting up on April 9 is kidding himself.

    That said, the Dodgers probably aren’t excited to lose $100 million in TV revenue from a shortened season, so they will try to do what they can to get in as many games as they can.

    I'll just put the racial undertones in your post aside and address the issue at hand.

    I'm not saying they need to extend the season or play double headers. I'm saying I don't think this situation we are in will extend into July.

    My brown Mexican Salvadorian nephew is thinking of starting a ska band with his white Anglo Saxon wife. Their friends who will be in the band are Korean, Puerto Rican and black.
    I will suggest they name the band the Racial Undertones.

    Thanks for the idea TB!

    Can't argue with your logic. You're in A League of Your Own.
