It isn't going to happen.  President says something different every day.  Also I know Disney owns ESPN. Sold all my Disney stock back in late February for a nice profit. 

Okay.

Let's not talk stocks or politics here again.

NPB delayed season delayed at least another month. League officials think maybe late June start is best case scenario.

Just saw the head of the Army Corps of Engineers describe these makeshift hospitals they are putting in convention centers etc.    What an impressive guy.    Makes me proud to be an American.

He was a most sublime dbag.  Really one for the ages.

Orioles legend and Baseball Hall of Famer Cal Ripken Jr. joined Twitter on Tuesday to announce that the charity he runs with his family in honor of his late father, the Cal Ripken Sr. Foundation, was diverting some of its resources away from its typical mission to fight the hunger crisis caused by the coronavirus pandemic.

In coordination with Cal and Bill Ripken, the foundation announced a $100,000 donation to Feeding America to launch its Strike Out Hunger campaign, with Ollie’s Bargain Outlet and the Kevin Harvick Foundation contributing an additional $150,000 to start the program.

Legendary MAD comic artist Mort Drucker dead at 91.  He became ill in NY in the last week and had trouble breathing and walking.

Loved his art growing up as a kid.  Sadly I think MAD magazine is no longer publishing.  He was truly a great at his field.

IMHE is the most optimistic model. 

The total number of recorded U.S. deaths from April 2 to April 9 is less than the mid-range projections that IHME released on 4/2.

Um, what has this thread become?  I came on here to rant about my $400 bucks that the Orioles won't refund "yet" for Opening Day and I see such a odd range of posts that I don't even know where to begin?  Is this bazzaro world?

That is crazy that they haven’t refunded tickets yet.  Someone should contact their states attorney to investigate this.
