TURBO

If he is injured, then I think you can take a nonsensical statement like "isn't ready for the bright lights" and put a cork in it. Just admit it was a reactionary thing to say and move on. Things like that make me question some people's fandom.

Doubt he was seriously going to win the Cy Young, but any chance of that is now gone. I hate 2020.

Damn it, there goes the ERA title for Burnes... 2.11 now

That’s a really good (and accurate) comparison. Totally... This is a great comparison for sure.

ridiculous statement.

Geez, give the kid a break, I don't think it has anything to do with being "ready" for tonight's game...

my update. I have now lost a total of 18 lbs. Down to 177. Probably haven't been this weight in 15 years. I don't intend to go past 175. As it is now, I'm going to have to start some kind of weight program or massive push-ups because my shoulders and chest are now looking too thin for my liking. The struggle is real! lol Still enjoying the loss of belly mass though!

Braun will likely pinch hit in a crucial situation late in the game, right?

You just knew Sogard was going to start today, just knew it... BOOOOOOOOOO!

It's the Brewer way...

I didn't blame the Kwik Trip workers at all, I was more curious what the employee would say if I asked why they aren't making their customers follow the mandate. It's just so hypocritical to place those signs on all the entrance doors, then completely ignore them.

Kwik Trip chooses to ignore the mask mandate all together. They have big signs on their doors saying MASK REQUIRED to enter, but more than half of their customers do not wear a mask. I asked an employee why that was the case, she told me that employees are not allowed to say anything to the non mask wearing customers. Granted, I stop in frequently between 6:30 and 7:30 am, and the majority of their customers at that time are blue collar working type young men who I am sure don't want the inconvenience of having to throw a mask on to stop in the store for their Monster/energy drinks, cigarettes, and chew. That and they are probably just giving a giant middle finger to being told what they have to do. Again, I don't like wearing a mask, but it is for the greater good, so I do it. It's irritating that so many ignore the mandate in such a close public place, but that is just how Kwik Trip rolls. Kwik Trip is Gutless. Also ironic and somewhat irritating that many of the people ignoring the mask mandate are also those who are arguing "but I thought masks work" when the positive case numbers spike. I get the feeling those people were always extremely selfish, but that selfishness is now on display like a scarlet letter. I'd just like to see Kwik Trip be more like Menards... You MUST have a mask on to enter this store, PERIOD! It was a tough first couple weeks for Menards I'm sure, but it has worked out for them. Why can't Kwik Trip do the same? Probably too late now, they'd need a bouncer at each location to enforce it.

Really? For the most part, I'm only hearing stories of districts here in WI that are now going virtual or extending their virtual plans. Are there any in the state that are going the other way? My district is fully open, in person, every day. Students were given the choice to be virtual or in person. 11% chose virtual on day one. We are now up to 14% as some have decided to go virtual during this first trimester. We have students going into quarantine at home daily. We have to check our list daily to see how this effects our classrooms. Usually because they have been exposed to a positive case, but the majority of them never test positive. We have had one teacher test positive since we started in August, and 1 had to stay home for 2 weeks because their spouse tested positive. We have had a handful of positive students, however, my guess is we've had a ton of them that walk around asymptomatic and never know they had it. It's foolish to think being open is working when we all know damn well that the positive cases in school buildings are inaccurate based on that age range rarely getting symptoms. I would guess that in my high school, due to their complete lack of social distancing and mask wearing outside of the school building, I'd say we could have 50 kids walking the building daily that would test positive, maybe more. (we have 300+ kids in the high school) We have been extremely lucky so far as neighboring districts have temporarily shut down and in some cases have gone full virtual. I didn't expect to last more than 2 weeks, yet here we are in week 5 with the students in the building. I still think we don't last the full year, but so far we are doing pretty well. (Don't get me started on the difference between now and NORMAL school though. The teacher's job is 10x more stressful than this time last year for a million of different reasons.)

I'm a conservative, and for me, I have decided that mask wearing is a good thing. (it sucks to wear them, but it's for the greater good) I know other conservatives that are like me, and have done the right thing, so for me, it isn't political at all. I get what you and others are saying though, the fact that COVID is political just tells you where we are as a society, and it ain't good.

Williams is just an absolute joy to watch pitch.

it never is...

lol, I was just going to type that exact same thing...

They were everyones darkhorse pick to win the division. lol Not on this board...

SOGARD = MVP!

I was criticized heavily for posting that the Reds were going to be a team to recon with this season... Looks like they are in fact, a team to recon with this season.

That was just a beautiful swing!

TYRONE!
