Badger Mountain Charlie SASS #43172 Posted April 29, 2020 Share Posted April 29, 2020 Out of curiosity I decided to see how my Cardinals are doing in this mad race for the World Series. Danged MLB postponed all the games listed. How can we win if we aren't playing? Or lose for that matter. That just ain't right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charlie Harley, #14153 Posted April 29, 2020 Share Posted April 29, 2020 But when was the last time you were in late April and every team still had a perfect record, was tied for first in their division, and had a shot at the playoffs heading into the All-Star break?

Marshal Mo Hare, SASS #45984 Posted April 29, 2020 Share Posted April 29, 2020 Well, Sportsbooks have installed the Dodgers as the +325 favorite over the New York Yankees, who sit at +350 at online shop Bovada Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I see that the Reds have the same number of wins as losses. I guess that means they're at .500? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Badger Mountain Charlie SASS #43172 Posted April 30, 2020 Author Share Posted April 30, 2020 A lotta talk about the baseball season on TV. Got me to thunking, which is always a very dangerous thingy. TV comedy shows and sitcoms always have canned laughter to show us zombies where to laugh. Why couldn't baseball play the game in an empty stadium with canned cheering over the stadium's loud speakers and the TV wires. Badger, youse is a jenius.

Badger Mountain Charlie SASS #43172 Posted May 1, 2020 Author Share Posted May 1, 2020 I will go you one further, Bob. I predict that the Cardinals will Not lose a game for at least three weeks. I am also wondering if the ALL STAR game is now a movable date? Like, say August 30th, or September 21, or perhaps October 31? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I figure there's a lot of that that goes on we never hear about. I also figure a good many of them are good people. Least I like to think so.
