I can't be the only one who is a little suspicious about the three guys who were in the booth last night all of a sudden being sent home with Covid...

Palmer tweeted about it.  He would not lie about something like that.  I know we live in a world where no one believes anything but this is legit.

Only Palmer has COVID. The others have to be kept home because they were exposed.

That has changed.  If no symptoms you just have to wear a mask and get tested and see if any symptoms after 10 days. Obviously calling a ballgame with a mask on would be problematic.

Merely getting swept by Houston and ending that streak will cement this topic in place for a long time.

I don’t think there’s any requirement even like that anymore.

My God, I'd love to be a fly on the wall around John Angelos the past few days.  Connolly reported that he's pissed, I'd love to see it firsthand.  

It was truly amazing to see this go from a bit of a rumor on Monday morning to a full blown national news story Monday evening and carry on throughout the day yesterday and into today.  And when you've got guys like Jeremy Schaap and Al Michaels commenting on it, you know you've done ****ed up.

I'd give any amount of money to have been able to observe JA over the past few days.

I would like to observe him leaving town after signing the lease

"Sign the Lease!" should be an even bigger, more important chant.

Reading his article I did not know he had paid an announcers pay for a whole year but did not allow him back on.  Doubt Kevin Brown ever returns now.

What did Steinbrenner do that finally got MLB to take his control away for three/four years?  Was it the spying on Dave Winfield?

They have historically not liked doing anything to an owner but they have actually acted before.   Maybe a three year suspension of Angelos would slow his roll some?

I watched the Astros TV broadcast tonight in my market (TX/DFW area).  The Houston announcer duo of Kalas and ex/MLer Geoff Blum are really a joy to listen to. Fantastic at their jobs. Very complementary of the Os and the young core, even mentioning Elias and Sig a couple of times. The nerve of them, right? 

Anyhow, late in the game, Kalas made mention of the lack of being swept over the last 75 series since Adley was called up. 

Blum took that and ran with it and said, “Oh, I thought you were gonna say they haven’t lost a series since Kevin Brown started announcing for them.”  HILARIOUS!!
