Dolfan in NYC Posted July 23, 2020 Author Share Posted July 23, 2020 That sound you heard was Nate Silver and Craig Goldstein vomiting as they have to completely redo their models now to allow for 3 more playoff teams on each side. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John from Cincinnati Posted July 23, 2020 Share Posted July 23, 2020 Trump claims he'll be throwing out the first pitch at Yankee stadium in mid-August. Mariano Rivera is attending his 'rona briefing, but that feels more like it belongs in the "stupid crap" thread. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, it's a forlorn hope otherwise- but Pawtucket's AAA-level, Rhode Island is widely seen as the state that's had COVID locked down since day one, and considering the minor league season shutting down clinched Rhode Island losing baseball with a whimper (Pawtucket moves to Worcester in 2021), baseball kind of owes us one. If you're going with a AAA ballpark, you can make a pretty fair case. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hammerva Posted July 24, 2020 Share Posted July 24, 2020 You know there are people desperately wanting Trump to throw that first pitch for the Yankees in order to make Fauci look bad even more. Assuming his body could actually make it to the mound without any assistance By the way has A-ROD always been this much of an ass kisser on broadcasts. If you listen to him the MLB has been handling this perfectly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Considering all the announcers seemed to talk about was the virus the times I tuned in I can't say I'm mad at this. Plus I'm sure some dimwit tried a drinking game every time it was mentioned who knows how they ended up. And looking back I still maintain with this stupid-ass year as it is this is oddly appropriate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RIPPA Posted July 24, 2020 Share Posted July 24, 2020 To be fair - it is what an ESPN broadcast is now. I doubt games from your local broadcasters will be as insufferable. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
