    is it really much of an advantage without fans?

    So you're saying we've got a chance... they basically have as good of a chance at the number 1 pick as anybody https://www.nhl.com/news/2020-nhl-draft-lottery-first-phase-results/c-317275622?tid=277764372 losing a playoff series intentionally could be tanking's final form also: https://twitter.com/FriedgeHNIC/status/1276675515877855232?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E1276675515877855232%7Ctwgr%5E&ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fs9e.github.io%2Fiframe%2F2%2Ftwitter.min.html1276675515877855232

    if we're looking for maximum funkery, the pirates would be one of the funniest teams to win the fake covid championship other good candidates: mets indians athletics dodgers

    the music in long gone summer was hilariously bad. also pretty much everyone came across as boring and kind of unlikable.

    there is limited record of this, as it happened in the before-times

    Assuming they've got the agreement or whatever figured out.

    we all know the brewers are winning 40 games with a +4 differential

    couldn't you do something similar for most teams?

    maybe start by getting teams the horsefeathers out of arizona and florida

    none of these sports are actually going to happen this year

    But will we, really? If the Cubs win the World Series in a drastically-shortened season, and do it with no fans in the stands, will that feel at all special? I'm having a hard time wrapping my head around appreciating such an accomplishment. this is my point. it doesn't have to be "special" for us , because we already get the next-level special one 4 years ago with the same core. if the cubs hadn't won already, i'd almost not want them to win this year because it wouldn't feel real and we'd enter this bizarre "the cubs broke the curse but actually they kind of didn't" reality going forward. since they have the legit one, sure, i'll take the fun bonus of winning the covid season too.

    This season is basically just an exhibition season. Nobody's really gonna care about it. The NBA will be even worse. win/win for non-astros teams who have won titles recently. if the cubs win, we can brag about them having 2 in recent memory. if someone we dislike wins, who cares, we can just make fun of it and annoy their fans forever by calling it a fake season.

    bonds may have hit 100 if he decided to approach every at-bat like baez

    having 762 total home runs while only hitting 50 once is unfathomable. maintaining just like 5 years of sustained excellence in this sport is extremely tough. to average 35 homers over a 22 year stretch doesn't seem possible.

    that's literally the only reason I would ever watch a movie about the home run chase

    if you're quiet, you can hear faint echoes of "shut up and pitch" ringing in the air

    why florida?

    i really hope rizzo can maintain like an .800+ ops into his mid 30s and stay with the cubs forever on reasonable deals

    The opposing pitcher from Rookie of the Year wins it how many famous asses did you think of before you came up with the rookie of the year reference?

    i thought there were enough fat white linemen to even things out

    i didn't realize the nfl player base was like 70% black. but that coaching staff still doesn't necessarily look like a problem to me. Do you watch the NFL? not really anymore
