No, I think the cutouts are kinda lame.

Sidenote, I kinda like this Brewers team. The look/feel like a good ball club. I know they had some offseason departures, but I think they’ll still be very solid. I think the NL Central is going to be a real battle.


Yeah, complete wild card.  I think any not Pittsburgh based team has a legit shot at winning it, and could understand putting any team in any place in a prediction.

So, predictions on where the Blue Jays end up playing their home games.....     I will bet on Buffalo.

IMO they will be on the road all year.  Players don't want to be in a AAA park.

No fans, unique season.     If not Buffalo, then Detroit or Cleveland.

Last I saw they were still talking to Baltimore.  And were also considering their spring training site in Florida, though I think that was ruled out due to the situation there.

I think the issue is that state of Maryland may not allow it.

13 years, $380 million per Jeff Passan for Betts and Dodgers.

Damn! That's almost triple what I made during my best 13-year stretch of earnings!

Major League Baseball and the Players Association are having last-minute discussions about expanding the playoffs to 16 teams for the 2020 season, Jon Heyman reports. Included in those discussions is the idea that division winners will be able to choose their opponents during a televised selection show.

As a Sox fan, I'd be now disappointed if they didn't make the playoffs this year. Second place team from each division, plus the next two teams based on record...it'd be disappointing. It's probably not realistic, because of the schedule and everyone playing each other, but outside chance a single division could get four playoff teams (I'm looking at you NL Central).

These negotiations were so dumb. Owners: "Oh yes, I guess we would like that free revenue"

Uh-oh ...

Red Sox unveil humongous BLM billboard near Fenway, prominently featuring the team logo.

Some Scoopers won’t like our national pastime endorsing Marxism.

NBA, MLB. Pretty soon there will be nothing left for some people to watch.

I love the cardboard cutout of Mary Hart at Dodger Stadium. In her usually spot. I didn't see Larry King.

Rough opening day.

Soto gets COVID; Yankees-Nationals in long rain delay; Keyshaw scratched and has to go on DL.

Free country.

Some Scoopers will say that “our national pastime is endorsing racism” over a billboard? As likely as some Scoopers will say that players not kneeling for the National Anthem is endorsing racism. C’mon.

Has any Scooper -- or any American that you know of -- said players not kneeling for the anthem is endorsing racism?

For me, kneeling or standing is a personal decision. Neither makes one right or wrong, good or bad. But you’ve announced your fealty for the Giants BECAUSE their manager is kneeling. What does that say about those who choose not to kneel? In that vein, several Scoopers have suggested that having problems with BLM’s manifesto or their calling for dead cops is the equivalent of denying that “black lives matter”. IOW, racists.

You know that I like and respect you, Mike. But you love to troll. Sometimes (not to my credit) I take the bait.

Tried to educate y'all before, but that's a hard gig. BLM, Inc. is a racist, Marxist, anti-semitic, hate organization whose mission is to overturn and destroy America. BLM is the rallying cry for those who acknowledge and desire to change social injustice. The problem is BLM, Inc. is riding the coattails of BLM. All Americans, regardless of politics, race, and religion should aggressively oppose and resist BLM, Inc.
