Filling The Baseball VOID

[cboemmeljr]

With Spring Training and the baseball season in limbo due to the #coronavirus, I was wondering what everyone is doing to get their baseball "fix".  Obviously you are here at #OsHangout to fill the void.  Aside form visiting this site, what are you doing?  I personally am going to start by reading Billy Ripken's book State Of Play.  What baseball books are you reading?  Any good recommendations?

Somewhat interested to see what Billy's take is on the game.  Curious to see what your thoughts are.

Anti reading, I'll be picking up MLB The Show in a couple days when it's released.  Quarantining myself, will play a good chunk of that.  Maybe try to get the Orioles to the World Series.

And, baring the nerd depths of my soul here to you fellow nerds, I unleash to you a blog that I'd started back in September and will pick up again here shortly...

My son has his copy of MLB The Show...he got the version with the hat.  I am now following your blog and look forward to reading it.  If there is enough interest, I will post my thoughts on the book.

I very rarely turn the TV on anymore, but I am keeping an eye out for Oriole Classics on MASN.

There a Nationals Classic on tonight, blah. I don't care they won the World Series, I bet the Orioles Classics draw higher ratings.

Let's get it together slackers 

Just a reminder that when Shakespeare was quarantined because of the plague, he wrote King Lear.

"wrote"

Also Shakespeare hoarded grain and gouged folks during a famine.

Speaking of hoarding... was just out for groceries. EVERY single roll of toilet paper and paper towels was gone. People are nuts!

I'll probably play some Civ V too. Once you start a game you're sucked in for 8 hours. One more turn, then I'll go to bed......

I know that only too well.  In fact I had a friend who had to throw the game away just so he wouldn't be temped.

Meanwhile, I'm still on Civ 2.  It's a great game but I'd like to get one of the later Civs.  Not sure my computer can handle them though.  Might be able to run Civ 4.  I'll look into it.

I have a copy of every version up thru 5. I even have a copy of the original Colonization. You can play one of 4 civilizations, England, France, Spain or the Dutch. Objective is to build colonies, collect resources and make finished goods from them, rebel and gain independence from your mother country.
