Will be fun, but time consuming for sure.

It is really time-consuming for baseball, but the most realistic.

Fantasy baseball is exhausting. Good luck.

I tried it once and realized it was more dedication and attrition than strategic maneuvers and luck.

Was in second or third just because I was constantly adjusting but gave up half way through.

Was offered a ticket (in a great seat) for today's Cubs opener. Had mixed thoughts and feelings. Decided not to take it. I think I would be comfortable in regards to Covid but the forecasted 34 degree temperature with 18 mph wind/s made me feel it just wouldn't be too enjoyable to sit outside for a baseball game today. God (if there is a God) willing there will be more opportunities to attend games on nicer days.

Worthless season predictions.......

AL East - Yanks
AL Central - Twins
AL West - Astros
AL Wild Card - White Sux and Angels

NL East - Mets
NL Central - Cards
NL West - Dodgers
NL Wild Card - Braves and Padres

AL East - Yankees
AL Central - Twins
AL West - A's
AL Wild Card - Angels and White Sox

NL East - Braves
NL Central - Cardinals
NL West - Dodgers
NL Wild Card - Padres and Mets

AL Pennant - Twins
NL Pennant - Padres

WS Champ - Padres

It's only April 2nd and I have a worthless prediction.
If the Flubs and White Sux lose their next game they are probably not going to make the playoffs.
Only positive I would take from that is the ticket re-seller scumbags would suffer.

All Star Game moved.

Good. Bad aspect of America, meet good aspect of America.

Good for baseball.

Heard this morning on a podcast how difficult it would be to move cities because of the 3-4 year planning with convention centers, hotels and all that.

Probably not a large crowd turnout this year, anyway. Though I suppose the CDC announcement today may change that.

But, of course, sometimes you have to do hard, costly things to live with yourself and for your fans.

So now that NBA/NFL/MLB needs to be boycotted, does that just leave NHL?

NASCAR, except I think they even went all in on BLM support.

Most major sporting events already have contingency plans in place, with backup locations. Think hurricane/earthquake and the like. MLB already put plans in motion for a couple of days most likely.
