Fauci went Nuke LaLoosh with that pitch, no one's going to be digging in on him.

Governor Baker is throwing out the first pitch tonight for the Red Sox.

No, no he isn't.

Yes, he is.

Well, he is one of the people involved in tonight's first pitch ceremony.


That's where it stands as of now.

I wonder if Biden has it in him to throw something resembling a strike from ~ 55-60" maybe the O's could ask him to drop by.

Except his team is Philadelphia, about 30 minutes from his Delaware home.

Didn't know Joe was a Phillies fan-maybe they can get him out of the basement and grab a little fresh air.

His wife is. I don't think he cares much more than any other pol. As for getting out of the basement, much of my youth was watching to see if that team could actually get out of the basement.

Wishing them a speedy recovery with no complications or people who caught it from them.

A satisfying start for the Red Sox, if not for the O's.

And may Buffalo prove a good home for the Blue Jays this season, despite the challenges.

https://www.cbssports.com/mlb/news/indians-wear-road-uniforms-with-cleveland-on-the-chest-on-opening-day-as-team-name-discussions-continue


The Cleveland Indians hosted their Opening Day game against the Kansas City Royals on Thursday. Beyond the lack of crowd, there was one other noticeable change going on in Cleveland's ball park: the home team was wearing their road uniforms.

This change was a conscious decision that the team made in support of those pushing for the ball club to go away from the team's current name, the Indians. Team owner Paul Dolan met with manager Terry Francona this week to discuss the potential change.

Cleveland's road uniforms have a dark blue top with the block letters "Cleveland" across the chest in red. In contrast, the home uniforms have white tops, and the block letters say "Indians."


It seems the "Indians" have played their last game.

Watching the post home-run virtual high fives in the dugout is amusing. Also, it's great to hear the players yelling to each other on plays in the field.

So far, MLB players are showing a pretty united front on the BLM issues.

 Now, if the players on Cleveland start adding a little spider emblem to their socks...
