Big f bump. We will most likely have our first .400 hitter since ted Williams. The home run winner might break 20, the cy young winner might have an under 1.00 era. Bring it on

I hear you....but asterisk?
I have long held that MLB seasons are much too long by about 1/2. Human nature is to miss things are not always around or are rare occurrences. Human nature is to get bored of things that are too readily common and frequent. I.e. the Seahawks play one game a week, so it's "special". Reduce the number of games and make them more meaningful. Save pitchers arms. 162 games a year is just ridiculous and unwanted.
80 game regular seasons. Do it.

I will go out on a very short limb and say the M's will be 14-46 this year. Next year they will be better, this year they will suck, unless they can pull off their usual "we're good for a month", and with 22 games in July. If they do that, then they may go 29-31 Fish on... Todd

So it looks like a MLB season is going to actually happen after all.
M's first game against the Houston Cheaters this Friday night.
I knew 2020 would get worse and here it is. I'm now convinced that even a thermonuclear war wouldn't stop the M's from sucking. Like War Games (the movie), the only way for them to "win" is by not playing the game at all.
But at the end of day, I get to watch or listen to an actual sportsball game! How cool is that?
BTW - I've gotten a bit more into F1 during this whole no sports chit show. It's an interesting "sport" to learn and follow.
I weep for football.

Ah yes, the glory days.
I watched the Junior documentary on ESPN last week. A true reminder about how good him and his pops were, and their love for the game.

Best pure swing in the history of the sport (apologies to Ted and Hank). M's fans and all of baseball got to witness pure natural greatness. Stupid Cincy turf.

Why you comin' here starting chit? Get that crap outta here. Mookie for another 12 years and $365 million? Risky deal as he'll be an old man by the end of that term. I foresee a Robinson Cano fiasco in your semi-near future. Good luck! But yeah, get that Dodger chit outta here. Here's my hope. The M's win tomorrow night and between Friday night and Saturday morning, the entire team comes down with Covid and they have to pull the plug on an undefeated season which comes from the expense of the Cheaters. That's the perfect scenario. Shoot me.
