Well, of course I know him.
He's me.
I wanted Morton to get another ring, but having the Rays win would have given every piece of poo poo owner and manager more ammo for the endless “we don’t need to pay our players actually” argument.

Just occurred to me that because of the mid-game positive test Turner was immediately isolated and didn't get to celebrate on the field or in the clubhouse with his team for winning the WS, and that is a colossal bummer. :smith:

thinkin about how mlb deffo got the positive test before the game and sat on it to prevent a postponement, and only announced it because the dodgers had the World Series in hand.

I did not think of this but am now 100% convinced it's the case. Had the Dodgers lost it would have mysteriously not come out until very late into Game 7, so that there would be no postponement I'm sure.

How is everything such a gently caress up? Then all of the players were hugging and running around each other. Next year they can have a ring and wreath ceremony.

Doesn't that raise the question of why an inconclusive test isn't presumed positive until confirmed to be negative? Wouldn't that make a hell of a lot more sense from a health perspective?

Maybe it'll be the chud half of the team.

If this has been the situation for the 2016 Cubs, I'd have been fine with making that deal... especially since they haven't done much since and have basically played dead anyway!

If Justin Turner kills Clayton Kershaw does that help or hurt Kershaw's legacy?
