I at least have 3 games to remember it by. and those 3 games were glorious.

Call up some replacements and play on

Exactly.. Thats why there are 20 guys on the taxi squad.

I call fake news on this. I...... predict (ding ding) that you will see all 60 Cubs games

Nah, they didn't have enough time or money to think it through.

Of course they thought it through. There is a conference call with all team owners later today, Stan Kasten of the Dodgers mentioned it while he was being interviewed this morning on MLB Network Radio.

You can’t have a season like this . A team is playing 6 minor leaguers meanwhile the ( insert team) stayed healthy and played major leaguers all season and won it all. It’s a sham .

Um, that was the AL Central all of last year.

um, that was 2/3 of the NL in 2016

This season it's not about the talent on the field it's which team's star players won't get the covid.

The team w/ the least # of players infected at the end of the year will be the champ.

This narrative you're pushing in an effort to denigrate the Cubs World Series title is both unbecoming and inaccurate.

You're better than this.

He's not but the shit talking is fun. Glad baseball is back.

was never worth being overly invested in anyway

I have enough baseball of my own to cover this through at least mid August and maybe up to November

A title is a title. Never give it back and celebrate it, even this year's.

You can't deny how down the NL was in 2016.

Hmmm, now that your team has been exposed for having no rotation, no defense and no bullpen and NO shot in the AL Central..you claim to never being invested....

You've built up a false narrative in your head.

The Cubs were 15-5 against the AL that year. 19-8 if you count the World Series.

They also dominated their division which made a team like the Pirates (over .500 in non Cub games) appear worse.

But whatever makes it easier.

Why not? They're still playing baseball. It's no different than watching the Cubs play teams in 2011 - 2014

60 game season. Minor leaguers replacing quarantined players. Extended playoff participants. Fun having baseball back. But, if the season makes it through. The world series winner will have an asterisk by it in baseball history, and mean pretty much nothing, and not be considered true champions. But, we knew that coming in.

The Astros literally cheated to a World Series and nobody cared. No one will care about this either.

Extended playoffs and the DH are here to stay.

There may be an asterisk to some, but those two reasons won't be why.

Ofcourse..thats why they have dozens of AAA guys on a taxi squad..next man up.

60 game schedule, but good chance the teams end up with a variety of different actual games played. It is going to look like the 1870s standings where someone like the Mariners managed to stay healthy all year and play opponents when they were healthy, but the Orioles kept getting sick or playing teams that were sick so they finish up with 43 games played. I don't think anyone is going to say that whoever wins the World Series this year (if they get to that point) is actually the equivalent of a 162 game season World Series winner.

Marlins have as many positive tests as runs scored.

Wonder what would have happened if it was a team people actually cared about.
