  1. People always forgot to give credit to the other guy. Human nature is weird.
  2. Come on bro...4 AB's into the season....
  3. Amazingly accurate. It's a part of the sites charm, you learn to ignore him largely.
  4. Joe West should have retired years ago.
  5. 6 to 3 baby, rock out with ya cock out. Go Jays.
  6. LOL what a total mess this season is.
  7. Stroman goes right for the race victim, pathtetic. Nowhere does it seem it has anything to do with Stro being black. What an idiot.
  8. This is the right move, I think Playing 3rd last year and struggling effected his offense. I think it was eye opening for him and that's why now he agrees with 1b. Disappointing he still doesn't seem in great shape but not as big a deal at first.
  9. They were talking about this on CNN today, I have my doubts the US is as bad or worse now when this all began and have no leadership to deal with a pandemic. It's going to get worse down there.
  10. Alberta = Little US.
  11. NFL had to suspend start of pre-season, and the Hall of fame ceremony, players are getting infected..I could see the season not going ahead (Hope that's not the case), the US is having another surge right now, they are as bad as they were in April.
  12. Wow that's kind of scary, I love baseball have since I was young. MLB is not a well ran league imo, Manfred has been awful so far.
  13. No doubt about that, there are no guarantees but on paper looks like one of the Jays best Drafts ever. Well of course, in the AL east especially, build the young core first, then add the extra pieces you need via trades from position of strength, and FA signings. I think The jays will go after more when the team is ready.
  14. True enough, there were a few though, probably in hiding right now.
  15. Where them Shatkins haters at? This org is set up nicely with a load of young talent.
  16. Austin Martin holy s***, we stacked .
  17. Heat and humidity grant,,, why are you not working for the WHO bro? Life expectancy in 1918 was 29 lol, at comparing today to 100 years ago, an infection would kill you in 1918. You are a moron, that's ok many people are. The fact is no one really knows the death rate of Spanish flu, the numbers are massive guesses and vary, but most places have ot at 2.5 %, as I have posted about `15 sources. Use a bit of critical thinking, you think Covid would not kill millions in 1918, than you are the dumbest person on the Internet. Stop comparing death rates from 1918 when life expectancy was 29, to today, it's an apples and oranges comparison...read, educate, good article I posted above. Cases are rising in Africa, Australia, all warm countries heat as not slowed it down at all. HEAT AND HUMIDITY HER DER.
  18. Ir's obvious people like GrAnt and others are simple and have no clue how to use critical thinking. https://www.bbc.com/future/article/20200325-covid-19-the-history-of-pandemics The Life expectancy in 1918 was.....29... Life expectancy today is mid 70's. An infection could kill you in 1918, penicillin was not even discovered until 1928..Covid in 1918 would decimate as bad as Spanish flu, comparing death rates from 100 years ago is stupid to begin with. Unfortunately the WHO, has a budget similar to a single large hosipital. Yet they are tasked to defend the planets 7.8 billion citizens from histories biggest killer, disease and viruses. Despite warnings from doctors, scientists that we were not prepared and taking it serious, governments largely ignored all warnings despite Infectious disease being the single biggest threat to humanity, killing far more than wars, etc... Spanish flu killing as many as it did was as much to do with medicine being so far worst in 1918 then it is today. This article pretty much sums up how different it was then.
  19. I've posted about 15 different sources that show a Fatality rate of 2.5-3 percent, you "Cherry pick" the stats that go into hypotheticals....you do you though, siding with " warm and humidity" grant prob not smart. You choose one article and ignored about 15 others, that all come to the same conclusion...The CDC even has 2.5% as the fatality rate for Spanish flu.... If you knew anything about science, they only trust real proven data.... Also: "The global mortality rate of Spanish Flu was between 1 and 6%, the case fatality rate was between 3.4% and 20%" That range is ridiculous which only shows how unreliable this data is, more recent studies have the total deaths way lower, which I explained several times, you totally didn't read or ignored. Maybe close to ten percent..maybe..in science maybes do not exist, and most studies which I have provided over a dozen sources have come to the conclusion it was more in the 2.5 -3 percent range...with better modelling techniques. I'll repeat as well....this is 2020, we are far better equipped now to handle a deadly disease, comparing spanish flu and covid without factoring in the 102 year difference...if covid hhit in 1918 it would be devastating.
