2020 Hot Stove

Dinos looking to get swept at home for the first time in the Newmanium    At -150 prolly a sound bet but Kiwoom is my squad so I can't bring myself to do it.

but yes, if you simply play every home team at -200 or better and martingale that shit you are prolly one year away from retirement.  Oh, and Japan is starting soon  

Greediest people on the planet...baseball owners followed by the players..I know a lot of you love the game and grew up with it like me...and now these out of touch idiots are blowing it up as we speak...because they've lost the chance to have the sports world alone by arguing over %'s, while looking greedy to tons of unemployed..average salaries went up 38% for players between 2012-2107, while for everyone else 14.8%...owners just signed a billion dollar rights fee

No one's losing money YOU IDIOTS...but your game has already lost the younger generations, it vastly needs speeding up and rule changes, less games but yeah go ahead fight over thousands..the main reason you made all this money is nothing you invented, the DVR and the value of rights fees..when the rating finally go down this year and next, there won't be anyone to bail you out like the suckers at Turner..and you get what you deserved..

A Sunday afternoon in June. We used to converse, pat each other on the back for winners and make vicious jokes of the losers. Now sac and ODB are out fishing, L.C. is planning our campaign strategy while doing serious damage to a twelve pack, BigD may or may show up, and if he doesn't I DON'T WANT TO KNOW WHY. JEG is probably staring at the Pacific and counting the days to total retirement. And I, dear friends, have nothing to do but raise Unholy Hades in the Politics forum. MLB owners, players, executive and lesser personnel, down to the water boys, should be crucified. jmho

Get ready for round 2 of protests and looting.

I’m halfway through the 12 pack as I type this. You know me too well....

You guys fish too?

Key, one thing I figured out while working on the campaign: We’re BOTH actually younger than Trump or Biden....

yea, daly doesn't look so bad anymore. as long as these politicians keep making a run at something that looks cool and helps out the majority of the population living off government aid, we will get more pritzker's. i don't see it ending any time soon. 

hoya, you ain't lying. manfred clearly doesn't have a clue what to do. it just amazes me that every other commissioner and sports league can get a grip, but when it comes to mlb, they always are the first to have a problem. friday he was 100% certain they'll play. monday he announces i'm not 100% anymore. lmao

The players really shocked the owners with that "we surrender, just tell us when and where to show up" move. The ball is most definitely in the owners court, and what are they doing? Choking on it. They will start blubbering like a politician caught with his hand in the cookie jar, "but, but, but, uh, well, uh." Unprepared and unready for that, the truth will gradually emerge. The problem is not player-owner, it is owner-owner. Due to a lack of responsible revenue sharing the owners are all in different stances. You can bet your bottom dollar the Yankees, Dodgers and a couple others could come around quickly and easily survive because of huge TV contracts. They don't necessarily need fans in the stands. But the Marlins, Royals and a couple others would be devastated without the home gate. Revenue sharing has worked well and created competitive balance in the NFL and NBA, but the wealthier MLB owners just can not grasp the concept that they are part of a necessary socialism whether they like it or not. You are in a business that depends on your competition being viable. MLB is not Ford/GM, they are in the same boat together. Frankly, I don't think the owners will work out their own differences, just keep finding reasons why it won't work without more concessions from the players. What they really want is for the poorer franchises to break even and the rich ones get richer. Sort of like one mobster killing another, "sorry Vinnie, it ain't personal, just business."   

Sounds like the season has no chance

The Glass family made a 900% profit on the Royals in twenty years. Bill Sherman may not get back the billion for another twenty years, if ever.

Yeah, I think so too UNDER... this season is toast. 

.... and now, it's almost 100% they DON'T play.  This guy's a real dope.  I could see during the Astros cheating debacle that Manfred ain't playing with a full deck.  He let that situation get out of hand, granting immunity to a bunch of cheaters.... and now this !?  Take control of the situation you tool. 

Hey KEY,since I have not been on my laptop for I do not know how long and the 24 hour news shows even sports all suck,at my young age I can not take being lied to 24/7 anymore so I no nothing of anything you and LC and BIGD talk about anymore,just good I still have the Tour.Fishing Guys that KISS.

So KEY did you say the players were smart enough to tell the owners whatever you say?And the Owners not knowing what KISS is fell for it and did what they always do and looked BAD again?Why is it Trump does not own a baseball team.Fake News maybe.

Arizona hospitals are reporting 80% capacity in ICU's due to a covid spike.

Is the state wide open Key? Here in Illinois I'd say that 95% of people wear masks, and have been for quite some time.

In Florida, 15 people, healthcare workers, who were known to be healthy ignored the guidelines and went out to a pub on a Saturday night. ALL 15 are now infected. The only bright side to that story is that they concede they have no one to blame but themselves. That is HEALTHCARE workers, how do you expect the average twenty something to act? Those azz-holes think they are immune and immortal and others should die to get out of their way.

complete opposite here in Texas.  95% have taken it off
