Positive coronavirus tests with the St. Louis Cardinals have postponed their game against the Milwaukee Brewers, a source tells ESPN, confirming the @jonheyman report. Unclear how many, but to this point positives had been limited to teams in the East. Now in the Central, too.

Good thing they put the season on pause for 4 months to accomplish...nothing.
Only thing that would put a cap on this shitshow of a season would be the not banned Astros winning it. [Reply]

Can you imagine how awful this would be if you were actually EXCITED for your squad?
Like, Reds fans really thought they were building something. And maybe they are, maybe they aren't - but ya ain't learning shit this year. Or the Yankees who are finally churning out some homegrown talent again w/ Torres and Judge and Sanchez and aggressively grabbed the guy who should've won the CY last year and seemed poised break their drought. Even if they do now, it'll have an asterisk. Rebuilding teams could have seen young players develop and ponder on the future. There are a lot of teams that had fun stuff to look forward to and now none of it means dick.
Fortunately, as a Cardinals fan I'm just marking time for 6 years in the hopes that someday we won't have Goldschmidt, Carpenter, Fowler and Molina on this squad anymore. Sadly, we almost certainly will. Or they'll be replaced with other aging and unproductive roster fodder that our front office will refuse to get rid of.
I had very little excitement for this season BEFORE it went off the rails. Especially coming off a SB run in football and SC in hockey. I had teams that had plans and built things and won around talented young players and big-time energy.
Then...I had the Cardinals. And their old balls. And bitchy attitudes.
Hurray....baseball is back. And it sucks. And I don't really care because it was going to suck anyway. [Reply]

I'm actually enjoying the hell out of the Royals season. When you have zero expecations going into a season its nice. We are actually seeing our young gun pitching prospects. If this was a normal 162 season they would have signed some broke dick veterans who we all would have been pissed about. [Reply]

This is why I'm worried about football. We're literally going into the greatest time ever to be a Chiefs fan and we have to hope NFL players make smart decisions and don't turn the whole season into a farce. [Reply]

How they are handling this is beyond fucking stupid. Just call it done if you are going to flip your shit every time a positive test shows up.
Also it makes NO SENSE how they are handling this shit unless they are random testing players instead of testing them all at once.
Today's positive response was to do more testing to see if its wide spread. Didn't they all get fucking tested at the same time to begin with FFS?
Our freaking production facility in BFE Missouri apparently knows how to deal with and handle this shit better than MLB. [Reply]

I agree. They KNEW when they started the season outbreaks would happen. It's a fucking joke. [Reply]

why start without a plan when covid hits a team? Did you think it would be isolated? We will just play a double header and make it up? No plan to enforce players following the damn rules? This is just a total shit show. Well done baseball. :-) [Reply]
What happens in the NFL when the Jets are 0-10, the Giants are 2-8, the Raiders are 3-7, the Bengals are 2-8, etc etc etc. All those players are going to stop giving a crap about the season and are going to go out and visit strip clubs and go to parties. Why would they care?
Then some 8-2 Superbowl contendor will be forced to not play a game because Sam Darnold has Covid-19 and the kissing disease. And the bad players will all start opting out, Covid-19 will skyrocket in the NFL, and the Chiefs season might end because other moron teams, even if KC does everything 100% right.
Not good. Now they're going to have to watch to see if these cases spread at all.
MLB officially announces postponement of Cubs-Cardinals series and says two additional STL players and a staff member have tested positive in samples collected the past two days. Brings total of positive tests with club to 16 - nine players, seven staffers.

Pisses me off thinking about it.
Uh the last day that a player can opt-out has came and went. [Reply]
