If the GOP w/publicize the Sanders-Biden Dem platform, they'd get more votes, too, particularly from wonen. It's scary.

He got 8 percent of the balck vote in 2016.

It looks like there is some kind of negotiation going on.

If things are better come September 15 (this year's postseason eligibility deadline), there might be a way. As of now, there isn't, but they're talking about it.

The new NBC/WSJ poll has Biden up by 11 points.... 51 to 40...... Looked at it too...... 5% more dems but there was only 900 plus and more women mostly in big cities..... on cell phones..... don't know about y'all, but i have to work and I don't waste my time bothering with these type of calls.....

game on fakebook live tonight.... bunch of minor leaguers...

excerpt this morning from mlbtraderumours --

there is a notable carve-out for those players that are deemed personally “high-risk” for coronavirus infection. Such players — who receive salary and service time even if they opt out — are permitted to submit a request to return. Per Jayson Stark, there’s some kind of process involving team physicians and a joint committee to determine whether to honor the request. (Precisely what steps are required and what factors are considered isn’t entirely clear.)

So, what of players not placed in the personal “high-risk” category? They’ve got to make an in-or-out choice, for the moment. But Stark notes that there has at least been some amount of chatter surrounding the idea of creating a path back to participation in 2020. Again, it’s not clear what that might entail — e.g., whether the player would need to demonstrate some change in circumstance to justify the change of heart.

A NYT guy named Walter Duranty won a Pulitzer for his reporting on the 1930's Ukraine famine manufactured by Stalin and his Communist regime. Covered up the murder of 7-10 million people. As of 2017 they still hadn't stripped him of the award.

I'm interested in seeing what kinds of fall leagues they can concoct for their minor leaguers. Hopefully a lot.

Wonder who the NL GM was that Bowden called? Interesting that Zimmerman and Ross could end up being eligible to rejoin the team the day before the playoff roster requirement.

Funny comment from Hyde: "We’re here quite a bit and we still have 40-some guys here, so our days are pretty full here. But we’re very aware of what’s happening down there. We’ll obviously see video, we’ll see guys throw, et cetera. But I’m not sure how much we can physically get down there.”

Bowie stadium is about 20 superhighway miles from Camden Yards. That's an average Maryland commute.

Wow. Remote umps in NYC will have to make all the calls. What could go wrong?

She’s too nice to them, even now. Sadly, this is exactly what I expect from the paper that buried the Holocaust (while getting the Ochses and Sulzbergers out), lied for Stalin, printed Jayson Blair’s lies until they were caught doing so, and has committed so many other depradations against journalism.

sadly a lot of liberals that you don't agree with become angry and try to bully those that are informed.....plenty of examples..
