Everybody will make the playoffs next year.

Why do the Republicans hate Fauci so much? i mean they seem to hate him even more than Obama. Is it just because he didn't kiss King Donald's ass?

Jesse Rogers of ESPN reports that expanded postseason and a draft lottery are among the things being discussed in a potential new Collective Bargaining Agreemtn. The playoffs would expand to seven teams per league -- 14 overall -- and would involve a bye for the team with the best record in their respective league. The lottery would involve just the top three teams, but any team that didn't make the playoffs would have a chance to earn the first overall pick, similar to the NBA and NHL lotteries. The Collective Bargaining Agreement is set to expire at midnight on December 1. SOURCE: ESPN

Who needs a free agent SS when you can get a 29 year-old minor league pitcher with an 8.42 ERA?

Another change in law to benefit the wealthy! Gambling will be our new addiction epidemic.

Now, if we are talking about race, that is a different story. There are no meaningful physiological differences between races, so it's easier to conclude that race is a social construct.

There could be. Men and women are physiologically different. Could there not also be inherent behavioral differences? There are much more similarities than differences, but I do not think we can rule out the idea that there might be inherent differences beyond the obvious physiological ones.

That is part of it.

Baseball made it very clear for a long time that any kind of gambling in the game was strictly prohibited. Players didn't get to choose what kind of gambling they could do. It was all wrong... Until MLB figured out that it was profitable.

Avila has never had a plan B before, so I suppose that would be progress.

They need some defense up the middle, but Simmons had a .558 OPS this year. If they can't do better than that, they might as well go with Kreidler (who supposedly is a good defender).

Tigers pursue. Rangers and Mets acquire.

Boyd being non-tendered is kind of a big deal. It's not a big surprise, but he's been around for a long time and we once had high hopes.

I remember the outrage when Wayne Garland signed for 10 years 2.3 million.

It is interesting that players and teams seem to be rushing to make agreements before December 1. Does that say anything about the CBA negotiations? Maybe that they expect them to last a really long time?

Americans are five years late and counting...in figuring out that Trump is a fraud.

Simmons was anemic last year. He'll get a one-year deal with a team that doesn't expect to make the playoffs. I am hoping the Tigers are beyond that. If it comes to that, they might as well just go with Kreidler.

Something we can all agree on!

Rittenhouse went there to protect people (one of his stories). That is vigilantism. He just wasn't very good at it and he got himself into a situation where he had to protect himself. Now, he's a hero.

That is true. You should all be proud of yourselves. This is supposed to be a sports forum site, but now we've got all kinds of "new" people coming here just for the politics and never even posting in the sports forums.

He should take the same test Trump took. When he passes, he will be a genius. I best he can even identify an elephant if they show him a picture.

How about Clemens and Bonds?
