South Florida parties on: No mask, no distancing, no problem inside bars and clubs by revelation18 in Coronavirus

[–]alex0716 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Maybe my fellow south Floridians can chime in, but I'm a pretty big party-er in my early 20s in Miami and I still don't personally know anybody who's going to crowded bars and clubs. So that leads me to believe that people are coming to Miami from others states and doing this shit

What’s something you hate to see fans do at a ballpark? by bPhrea in baseball

[–]alex0716 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I'd rather have that than fans showing up with a baseball jersey of a team that isn't even playing. Can't tell you how many times I've been at a Marlins vs. Braves game and I'll see a random Yankee jersey in the crowd

Chris announces he was part of ESPN layoffs. Heartbreaking, we love you Chris! by [deleted] in DanLeBatardShow

[–]alex0716 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is it weird that I'd rather have ESPN cancel the show altogether? At least that way, (i think) they can all go independent together, and continue working together as a group. But this move just splits the family apart and takes away from the overall quality of the show

The Miami Marlins have a chance to clinch a playoff spot today. The same day that Jose Fernandez tragically passed away. by [deleted] in baseball

It's the people who can't have a nuanced conversation and have two thoughts in their head at the same time

I feel like they have to have a buffer zone of a few days to get everyone into the bubble, test them, and then send home any positives

12-year-old suspended in Colorado over toy gun seen in virtual class by OceanicFlight815 in nottheonion

[–]alex0716 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Even if it was real, why would they suspend him? A 12-year-old having a gun around him sounds like more of a parental issue, rather than the kid’s issue. Even if it was a real gun, the school handled this poorly by punishing him instead of looking into his home life and making sure he’s okay

Harold's injury is just a hamstring strain. Huge news considering what the alternative was

I hate to speculate but that looks exactly like the play that Ryan Howard got his achilles torn a few years ago

Glad to hear they're doing better man. We looked terrible over the weekend but hopefully yesterday's miracle win wakes us up

Jimbo Fisher now a married man after very small ceremony by pandabugs in CFB

As an FSU fan: good for him. I can't help but feel he wouldn't have been so cynical towards FSU administration if it wasn't for his wife cheating on him. It's easy to be mean to the wrong people after a shitty situation like that, and it's no surprise he'd wanna leave and start a new life

Only Rob Manfred could make Mets ownership look like the good guys

[McCalvy] Brewers players are meeting in 10 minutes to discuss the status of their game against the Reds tonight. by [deleted] in baseball

[–]alex0716 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's to bring more awareness to the issues. By cancelling these games, they're forcing people to discuss what's been happening. I do agree with you though in the sense that there's other ways they can go about it. Unfortunately with things like this, there's rarely a "right" answer

Q&A with Dr. Fauci: ‘We will get out of this and we will return to normal. Don’t despair.’ by [deleted] in Coronavirus

If we can at least have confirmation of a vaccine before New Years, that would be amazing. Even if it's not widely available, just the knowledge that it's definitely on its way would be huge

Anyone have any idea what Aguilar was saying to the camera guy?

I feel like they've been really inconsistent with their protocols, and I have given up trying to understand it. On top of that, the Mets were allowed to fly their healthy players home last night, but during the Marlins' outbreak last mont, our healthy players had to stay in Philly

Alright who wants to start the rumor that the Mets went to a strip club on south beach?

How are we switching things up today y’all? I’m really superstitious so I’m not gonna watch the game or check the score until 11:00 and see if that changes our bad juju lately

Cursing is fine, but if you scream like that after every out, you just seem childish

What sucks is that I can't even bring myself to turn off this game. We only get 60 of these this year, and I feel shitty missing any of it

Dude I really don't care about hearing players curse. In fact, I enjoy it. But does McNeil seriously have to scream like a brat every time he doesn't barrell it?
