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.

I do occasionally troll. I shouldn't. I sometimes use hyperbole, as most Scoopers (including you) also sometimes do. Most of the time, I simply try to provide information, and often include my opinion when doing so, clearly separating the fact from the opinion. I should stick to that more, yes.

I believe Kapler took a strong stand (an odd word to use, I admit, because he wasn't standing) and I admire that. I don't have a favorite baseball team, so I choose to root for different teams for different reasons each season. I have pulled for the Brewers that last couple of years. Kapler's stand makes me want to have a heightened interest in his team.

And I have no concerns that MLB will turn into a Marxist organization, despite Doc's attempts to "educate y'all." I am much more concerned about the leader of our federal government using unidentified militia to attack peaceful protesters as a campaign stunt than I am about Marxism taking over American pro and college sports.

MLB local preseason ratings last weekend vs pre-pandemic games:
Pirates  +475%
Cubs  +320%
Phillies  +208%
Yankees  +137%
Mets  +101%




The pandemic-delayed Major League Baseball opener was the sport’s most-watched regular-season game on any network in nine years.

The New York Yankees’ rain-shortened 4-1 win at the Washington Nationals on Thursday night averaged 4 million viewers on ESPN. 8.4 rating in the Washington D.C. market, which is the highest-rated regular season MLB game ever on ESPN in the market. It also generated a 7.8 rating in the New York market, making it the highest-rated regular season MLB game on ESPN in the market since 2015.

San Francisco Giants vs. the Los Angeles Dodgers – generated an average audience of 2,764,000 viewers.

I actually think it’s much more noticeable than it was for the TBT. Maybe real NBA games will be different though. But Cubs Brewers was hard for me to get into and that’s never the case. (Maybe because the Brewers sucked and I’m enjoying life in Eagle River.)

In these troubled and stressful times it’s comforting to know you’re still a douche with a little brother complex.

Do all the stats go into the record books or is this season considered an aberration?

What else would you expect with nothing else on unless you watch international soccer games which I do not. Normal season opening games for baseball are during the start of the NBA and NHL playoffs.

Oh and good luck to college sports this year.  The NFL can afford to bubble their teams, but colleges cannot.

Michigan State's entire football team is in quarantine right now.

I for one think Trump is a real coward for not throwing out the first pitch and shaking every one of the Phillies' hands.
