Will soon make any sports league meaningless as more come down with it, and how it undermines any true results with some teams not able to play competitively anywhere close to the level needed to win. It'll be getting cancelled .

Granted, if not for them, it'd be the Reds and the season would last three more days.

My Cubs are heading there today.

FWIW, I also think the season will be cancelled relatively quickly.

It's not feasible to play sports and we're learning it.

So we have the Tigers and Phillies who were already exposed via games and the ballpark and the Yankees and Cubs coming in as new visitors. If nothing changes, the Yankees will be in the clubhouse the Marlins just vacated.

Plus, the S Florida hotspot has been exported.

Agree 100% that it was never a good idea.

Hopefully (?) it started with MIA.
Either way, we knew this was inevitable.

talking to the NFL about what they are doing to open. All I could think about was the mess that is happening in MLB.
I think the NFL is trippin.

Our way out of a Pandemic??

Baseball? Football? Soccer?

School???

Wake up fools - get rid of the virus THEN worry about playing shit.

I have to sew my own mask but these fools can use up 10s of thousands of test a week to try to make playing “safe”?

Screw em.
