It’s Wednesday and the world is still bleak and windy. Virus concerns makes any news sad for the most part and I know that many are just slumping. So I will do the best I can to try to bring any good news.
Bad Baseball News
Mexico series cancelled. It was inevitable Iron Man.
Fangraphs did the math. 120 game season is on the optimistic side.
Good Baseball News
MLB teams have committed millions to assist ballpark employees during this crisis. Of course they could have done more but, it is something. Like what the Dodgers did and paying their minor league players during the outbreak.
The Korean Baseball League hope to start workouts soon due to Korea handing the virus it’s ass!
Dan Haren is using this time to remind everyone that you should not be ashamed of mental illness. 5th Starter would be proud.
Shorter season improves Angels playoff odds dramatically. 33.2% chance in an 81 game season!
$$ Fabian Ardaya wrote about the 2002 World Series because why not? Jeff Fletcher called him out on twitter about using the wrong photos for the wrong games.
Keynan Middleton is starting a podcast! Eventually. So will CTPG. Hopefully soon as well!
And, of course…NFL free agency. They’re still operating…somehow. Drop what you think about Tom Brady to Tampa Bay and other crazy moves that have happened!
In other news, the Four-Letter-Network recognizes that Simba is one of the greatest defensive shortstops ever. They even note that it’s either Ozzie or Simba.

Headline: Without games, ESPN finally decides to cover baseball.
Cover Baseball?

Great Day to be Alive ! What’s up my Halo Homeys? Go out and meet your neighbors! Smile and Wave at strangers. Life is Good ! ~ Spread Some Love ~
People are getting creative with video conferencing. Some are using props and masks to liven up the usually boring online meeting. I’m thinking of using a puppet, while I sit out of the camera frame.
I wish I could use Balok
The bald you have, the beard he dosen’t
Put on some
rougeAngels Red lipstick, and …Creepiest. Cartoon. Ever.
But the music is great!
Clutch Cargo? I thought that was black and white!
Everything was black and white for me back in those days. We didn’t get a color TV until late 1967.
Working from home today first time I’ve done this … just got off a call with all company on line … I finally attended a work meeting DG style … Pants were optional.
I’m touched and humbled.
[wipes tear from my eye]
I’m mah own man
Who touched you DG? Just tell me which man with a white collar did it and make a call to the vatican
Probably A-Fraud.
You can get a Lambchop sock puppet. It’ll be great!
Earthquake is Salt Lake City, those folks lost their electricity. Got a Dr.’s appointment this morning, ahh but not Corona related, it’s about Diabetes issues and lower back problems. Well the snow that was supposed to come never showed up, well those flakes isolated, lol. Another sport to shut it’s doors is Curling. World Championships for Mixed, Women and Men have all been cancelled. Don’t expect to be robbed any time soon as we ran out of TP, thank goodness for tissue. Stay safe, stay healthy my friends.
If all else fails, there is the garden hose.
Use the 3 Shells!
Awesome news about Korea. They tested like mad. Sure hope we can get to that point soon. DowningDude chilling in the casa with the rugrats and mutts. Be safe and clean everyone!
But what is DowningRules doing?
He’s chilling with baseballchick and htennis.
As a San Diego Chargers fan, i’m just glad Philip Rivers found a team to play for after a few years off. A few years off from football, dude has like 10 kids, he’s never actually off.
Pats playoff chances are quite deflated now…
I feel like I should be boarding up my house and sleeping with a rifle next to my bed, anyone else? Like, my dogs can’t protect me from a virus, but I can at least stop someone before they walk up the driveway, ya know?
Chargers look good yet again…and if they do snag the 5 seed, with expanded playoffs, odds are they might would be able to avoid the hypothetical #1 seed Chiefs in the divisional round…should be interesting!
Why are you talking about the team like it still exists?
Because the Angels need a companion in the sad franchise department 😛
At least we have Mike Trout
Me thinks you need to smoke a joint and have a glass of your favorite adult beverage, put on your favorite music, take a few deep breathes and be thankful for all that you have. ~ Live is Beautiful, Enjoy the Present, that is why it is called a Gift ~ Love ya Mia !
Love this post. Rivers is far from the only NFL player with 10 kids, he’s just the only one to have them all with his wife.
Thanks, Jeff!
