JULY 16: Testing today has turned up zero new positive cases, manager Aaron Boone told reporters (including Alex Speier of the Boston Globe and Bryan Hoch of MLB.com). However, Boone added that six Yankees players have been confirmed positive within the past week and are expected to miss at least ten days, suggesting that follow-up testing on Judge, Urshela and Higashioka has confirmed their positive results. Friday’s game against the Red Sox will be played, with yesterday’s postponement to be made up as part of a doubleheader on August 17.
JULY 15, 5:20 pm: Judge is indeed the Yankees All-Star in question, The Boston Globe’s Pete Abraham reports (via Twitter). Gio Urshela, and Kyle Higashioka are the other two Yankees in COVID protocol, ESPN’s Buster Olney tweets.
JULY 15, 5:05 pm: Rafael Devers and other Red Sox All-Star representatives were asked to undergo additional COVID-19 testing after being told that one of the Yankees’ All-Star reps tested positive, ESPN’s Marly Rivera (Twitter links) reports. This would indicate at least one of Aaron Judge, Aroldis Chapman, or Gerrit Cole — Cole was replaced on the All-Star roster but was still present during festivities.
JULY 15, 3:39 pm: Tonight’s game between the Red Sox and Yankees has been postponed due to a COVID-19 situation within the Yankees’ clubhouse, as originally reported by The Athletic’s Ken Rosenthal (Twitter link). Major League Baseball released an official announcement about the postponement, noting “positive COVID-19 tests within the New York Yankees organization.” There isn’t yet any word about a make-up date for tonight’s contest, and it isn’t yet known if any other games in the scheduled four-game series could be in jeopardy.
Speaking with The Athletic’s Lindsey Adler (all links to Twitter) and other reporters, Yankees GM Brian Cashman said the club has six ongoing COVID-19 cases, all of players. Cashman confirmed that the three players currently on the Yankees’ COVID-related injury list (left-handers Nestor Cortes Jr. and Wandy Peralta, and righty Jonathan Loaisiga) all tested positive for the virus, while three other potential cases are pending confirmation of positive results. ESPN’s Marly Rivera reports that “at least two” of the positive COVID tests were delivered by Yankees position players.
Most importantly, Cashman indicated that the cases appear to be asymptomatic, saying “As of right now, everybody is ok.” The Yankees as a whole have passed the league’s mandated 85% vaccination rate , though Cashman said that only “most” of the six players had received vaccines. Cortes, Peralta, and Loaisiga had all been vaccinated.
Cortes and Peralta were placed on the COVID-19 list earlier today, while Loaisiga’s placement came back on July 10. Loaisiga has yet to rejoin the team from their road trip in Houston, Cashman said, as the right-hander has been quarantined.
This is the second time the Yankees have been hit with a COVID outbreak this season, after eight players and coaches tested positive for the virus back in May. (New York manager Aaron Boone told Adler and other reporters today that Gleyber Torres’ positive test at the time was actually a false positive.) That outbreak didn’t result in any postponed games, as while COVID-IL placements have still been rather common this season, today’s Red Sox/Yankees matchup is the only the eighth game of the season to be postponed for COVID-related reasons. The other seven postponements all took place prior to April 19.
2nd half off to a great start…
Most fans outside of Boston or NY aren’t going to miss a Yankee/Red Sox game. Heck, they’re on all of the time any way.
You’re in luck, it will be Red Sox vs Rays on August 1st Sunday Night Baseball.
I hate to joke about COVID but they didn’t want to play tonight anyway.
Glad we found out early.
Guess I’ll go see if I can bring some rock doves into 16 ga range this evening.
Has anyone seen my pet bird? His name is Albert and he is very sweet and friendly! He is a rock dove…
Only the good die young, bro. You may need to hold on to that sentiment. There may have been a “situation” with Albert.
He was just diagnosed with bird flu! He is extremely infectious and he needs his medicine right away!
So have you seen Albert Ducky!?! Make sure you keep at least 50′ away!
I am appalled that you would kill a poor little symbol of peace. You meat eaters have no shame. Get on here and brag about murder. I suppose you use an assault rifle shotgun too. If it looks scary it should be illegal and all guns look scary. You should see my beautiful knife collection. They are a work of art. Really Art makes them.
Do rock dove taste good? Had duck once it was awful. Been told it had to have been prepared wrong. I guess I will have to try again. I also wanted to write that above before it was written by some plant killer. They kill vegetation to make tofu that should be illegal.
There’s a number of sportsmen on the board. But – yeah – “that guy” does exist.
I cannot compare duck to dove as far as table fare goes. I’ve been pretty adventurous with waterfowl (other stuff too) but I can’t think of a species that “tastes like” doves, uh?
Dove is good. In general. Really light. Really small too which is an obvious drawback, compared to say a goose. Notably smaller than teal even.
Interesting: if I call it “feral pigeon” no one tries it. If I call it “rock dove” I get compliments. Same bird. Different commercial.
Stupid bird posts.
I’m from Dallas sitting outside of the stadium right now, was about to take in my first Yankees game and got the news. F me.
Dallas? Did I miss the joke?
I did.
He Means he is from Dallas and was visiting Yankee Stadium tonight for his first ever game and now it’s been cancelled.
Sorry to hear that.
Bummer to the guy from Dallas
Sucks man. Sorry to hear.
Shoot straight
That sucks B-Minus! Hopefully you’ll get to see another game this weekend.
It’s the only game today. MLB really needs to learn to have a back up plan.
It is. The Yankees found a way to avoid losing to the Red Sox.
So uhh about that Duran Thing… Tomorrow night looking forward to it!
No Mas?
Not Roberto Duran, he meant the Duran Duran concert.
Duran Duran is still touring?
Correct, no Kevin Maas.
Or next week? This could cause a cancelation of the series.
I can’t imagine there playing this series
the only thing wrong with the Yankees is that they stink.
-Steinbrenner
Its not a loss!!!
You have to start the non-losing streak somehow
Haha Sox and Yankees get that extra day off after all
DR.STOPPAGE!! DR. STOPPAGE!!!
Lol
Comments to go downhill and then be closed in 3..2…1…
Nah, we’re all civilized adults here… until MetsFan re-learns how to access the site!
WTF
no baseball today oh well we can still watch this HOF action prominently placed over at MLB com
mlb.com/video/altuve-leads-astros-in-1st-half
Altuve will never be in the HOF. The only reason that garbage organization has a title is because they aggressively cheated using trash cans, cameras and clickers. You should remember that with your constant low-class bragging.
So you’re saying you’re NOT going to watch the video, I think?
Nuanced Jamesian, that was a superior response.
Altuve is shy, I don’t know if he’d want me watching a video of him.
Frankly, what the Stros did was immensely cheating and will endure that barrage for the rest of their careers. But this constant jabbing at Houston fans as if they were somehow a part of it and the lack of recognition how well this team plays WITH fans in the stadium. Even at places like the NSFW aura that is Yankee stadium really dismantles strange weirdos like you who act as if that team killed a baby.
I hated Bregman, Yuli, Osuna, plenty of their players years prior and this just makes me adds Correa now too. But like let it go dude, dont waste your headspace on it lol. Cheer your OWN team.
Plus it’s inaccurate to say Altuve will never be in the Hall of Fame. He might not be, but he was a great player before and after the trash cans. I believe he’s the best 2B this year.
He’s pretty darn close to HOF already – 4-5 solid seasons, he’s in. Should wind up with at least 2,400 hits, might be able to hold at .300 plus BA, besides everything else he does
Electronic sign stealing is a bit like steroids in that people think it’s magic and make scrubs in to stars. The reality is it’s a marginal improvement.
Look at the astros this year.. I’m assuming they are not cheating, and they are still an elite offensive team
If it’s only a small marginal improvement why would you go to great lengths to cheat?
Baseball is a game of inches, so a marginal advantage could be the difference between winning a playoff series or losing in game 7.
you should live in India or Mississippi. Go and visit a hospital there. These players should either get vaccinated or take the year off at half pay. Those should be the options. 85 per cent rate is a joke.
They were vaccinated. The vaccine is NOT FDA approved and has out thousands of people in the hospital. Nobody should force or shame anyone into taking this experimental vaccine.
Hopefully not someone that participated in the all-star festivities
If only they could get a vaccine for that. Morons
They literally had someone test positive a few weeks ago that was vaccinated and had already had Covid.
Vaccinated doesn’t mean you can’t get the Virus. no vaccine is 100% effective, It doesn’t mean you have much greater chance at being asymptomatic and much less chance of you giving the virus to someone else.. right Now.. 99+ % of the deaths are the unvaccinated: forbes.com/sites/jemimamcevoy/2021/07/06/maryland-…
That’s not what he said. He implied they wouldn’t have an issue if they were vaccinated.
And, it is also fair to describe the vaccine as being effective if it reduces the severity of the disease. As you said, those who get COVID-19 after being vaccinated are much more likely to be asymptomatic or have mild symptoms and be much less contagious. That’s a success.
I understand needing to quarantine those who test positive and isolate those exposed to them even if all of those people were vaccinated and may be asymptomatic. It stops the virus from finding it’s way to someone who is not vaccinated or for whom the vaccine is less effective because they are immunocompromised. What I don’t get is why anyone in and around a major league team is unvaccinated at this point. On Baseball Night in New York, one of the reporter, Sweeney Murti I believe, said that one of the Yankees who tested positive is both symptomatic and unvaccinated.
You should use the word “actually” instead of “literally” roughly 99% of the time. Everytime I see some mouth breather on here type “literally” I want to projectile vomit on the screen.
“literally” was used correct earlier. What happens in other post has nothing to do with it. Grammar Police make me vomit.
Literally fits perfectly fine in my comment. It is grammatically correct. What’s wrong with it?
This is Murica.. we speak the language of our peers.. actually..
The entire team was vaccinated at the beginnings the season.
Can’t be true, didn’t mlb announce they were only testing non vaxed players ?
You can still get and spread covid if you are vaccinated. The vaccination works by giving the body the ability to recognize Covid and fight it far more effectively. That’s why it’s so important that everyone gets vaccinated but because of all the politicizing, fear mongering and disinformation, it’s not as easy as just getting it out there for people to take even if it’s free. It’s pretty sad that Covid is unique in this since. No other vaccine has ever gotten so politicized. This particular vaccine was just in the wrong place at the wrong time.
Isn’t this essentially how having a virus and building immunity from that exposure, works? If a vaccine only adds what would naturally occur from having been positive…why give it to people with prior cases? It should eventually dissipate to the place of other coronavirus.
There are certain viruses that build forever immunity, there are some that mutate enough and or don’t produce a strong enough immune response, so doesn’t last.
Flu and colds are a good example.
@Dusty. Good post. I was going to reply similarly but you said what I was going to say but better.
Why are we still testing? What a waste of time. Just play the damn game
Because having the Covid Virus doesn’t mean you developed a strong immune system response.. the vaccines were tested for the strength of their response.. they are better at causing the body to build immune defense than catching the virus.. and since they protect better than having the original disease against the variants.. it is important to the community that as many as people as possible get vaccinated.. for their communities.. ““So that immune response might be bigger, better and longer lasting than just getting the infection one time,” ” ucsf.edu/news/2021/01/419691/covid-19-vaccine-fact…
Apparently these vaccines aren’t as great as we were told, because anyone that wanted to get vaccinated can easily get vaccinated by now, and that’s supposed to pretty much guarantee you won’t get extremely harmful Covid symptoms. If someone chooses not to get vaccinated, we can’t put bubble wrap on them forever. It’s their choice, they can deal with the consequences.
It doesn’t guarantee that you won’t get COVID… It is like the flu shot, if you get it the symptoms aren’t supposed to be as bad…
It’s 100% effective at keeping you out of the hospital if you aren’t an old. 94% effective at keeping you out of the hospital if you’re 65+.
I kind of agree with the sentiment, but those people are just going to cause variants that vaccinated people won’t be protected against. Definitely a tricky topic to come up with an answer for.
We were told from the beginning that J&J is only 66% effective. Many players still chose it because it was quicker than the others. No sense in complaining, they were warned and made their own decision.
I had the same thought, fortunately for me Walgreens had other plans and only had the Pfizer to offer, I want to Johnson and Johnson because it was only one injection, I guess Walgreens saved me
Everyone gets vaccinated internet t all goes away. But people won’t do it. I’m glad polio was not an option years ago. Guess people had more sense in those days.
everyone gets vaccinated and less peolle get seriously sick. covid wolnt go away though – you can still get it when vaccinated.
“Wolnt” has never been a word. I’ve seen you type that multiple times. You have the option to edit your posts if you make a mistake. Yes Darkside, all 60 of your posts per day.
Or not enough sense to think for themselves.
So thinking for themselves and continuing the spread of polio would have been better? Idiotic
Solid take.
These vaccines have been tested more than any vaccines in history. And the sample size of recipients is now 2 billion! If you think they have not been tested properly, you are reading misinformation.
so, with all this testing,
What are the possible long-term negative effects?
Oh right we don’t have any idea.
But we do know the long term effects of stupidity.
Side effects of vaccines generally present themselves in two months, which is why that is the length of time before legal authorization can be given. Full approval can be granted after six months. These vaccines have been around almost a year now, and 2 billion people have taken them with no serious side effects. I think you can relax now based on that sample size. You’ve taken many other vaccines in your life that have not been nearly as well tested as these.
of course, we actually have proof of long term effects of catching christian flu (oops, i mean covid).
turns out it’s pretty bad.
sorry dr facebook, but the science isn’t on your side, no matter how many times oan and newsmax tells you it is.
A problem is some people get complacent once vaccinated. Many reports of people skipping their second shot. I have friends who planned social events with people from multiple households even though 14 days had not passed since their second shot, and even though they didn’t know the vaccination status of all the guests. I’ve seen many pictures of young people gathering in maskless crowds, etc.
MLB has not been telling us the specifics about the positives, such as the time lapse between the player getting dosed and the player testing positive. The league just says they’re doing great on vaccination. They don’t tell us if the player was being an idiot or not.
Its not only them that deal with the consequences.. all variants come from infected people.. all deaths come from infected people.. and all people get infected from someone who was infected… not getting vaccinated affects the whole community.. Just look at the hospitals Jammed in Missouri… meaning others my die because the ICU’s are full.. pbs.org/newshour/show/many-in-missouri-are-unvacci…
At a certain point only a percentage of the population needs to be vaccinated to acheive herd immunity where spreading the virus inevitably slows down, stops, weakens, etc.
Huh? We have a pretty good idea what percentage of the population needs to be vaccinated to get to herd immunity: The Delta variant is so contagious that it’s likely 90% or more. So be a patriot and go get the needle for the good of the country! Consider it a war effort.
I’m not going to get in to the covid debate because it quickly deteriorates. But if they are only testing players that haven’t been vaxed, then simply remove them from the 25, call up replacement players and get the show on the road.
You have a stadium full of people sitting side by side, we’ve agreed to take risks at this point, I really don’t understand the knee jerk cancellation at this stage.
It’s the contract tracing and the retesting that gets the games canceled. It’s not a couple of dude’s catching COVID. We don’t even know if any players have tested positive. If they’re positive they go on the COVID DL and everyone knows.
But they aren’t contact tracing or testing vaccinated players (unless I’m remembering it wrong) so those things shouldn’t be of concern like it was at the beginning of the year.
Did you not read the article? Obviously they are testing vaxed players, how else could they say they tested positive after already having the vaccine?
That’s what I’m confused about. A few weeks ago they announced they would not longer test vaccinated players, unless they showed symptoms
Even COVID is tired of seeing the Red Sox/Yankees be a national game…
Dude you win the Internet tonight.
So the Yankees were one of the first teams to get more than 80% vaccinations, and they’ve had two significant issues since. Not comforting regarding the J&J vaccine.
66% means a third of all J&J vaccines won’t work. The players knew the numbers, but didn’t care. It’s on them.
Maybe so, but the vaccine prevents hospitalization and death. So even if you get covid, you don’t have to worry about dying, and you won’t put a burden on the hospital system. So that’s a win regardless
This shouldn’t be a thing. 2 people testing positive isn’t anything unless majority of the clubhouse didn’t get vaccinated. Boston’s and New York Yankees team rosters should be questioned on why they’re not vaccinated?! If they are it’s a Phantom reason why the game got canceled.
” team rosters should be questioned on why they’re not vaccinated?! ”
hard no on that comrade
“…& if their answers are ultimately found unsatisfactory, summarily executed…”
You ever sent a kid to public school? Sounds like a no
Oh, gosh no. My son attends private school. Figured the Jesuits were good enough for me so I trusted them with him.
Graduates next year.
Nope – I’ve been fortunate enough to home school & Christian school both of them, having foreseen this brave new world coming as far back as the early 80s (fun note on that – I was at UH during phi slama jama days)
Had to google “CRT”.
So.
In private school, my son will study things like – ya know – calculus instead. I guess that would be the inherent “trade off”. To each their own, though.
Psychopath says wha?
so wait, crt is a fairy tale to you types, but the bible isn’t?
good to know you’re making sure your kid is being taught stuff that didn’t happen over stuff that did.
hopefully you aren’t scamming the state out of money to pay for that garbage, but based on your faith and politics, you almost certainly are.
good luck to your kid, they’ll need it once they escape the fundie christian bubble.
“good luck to your kid, they’ll”
“kid” is not plural
Don’t think I’d refer to either as a “fairy tale”. Not a real strong advocate for either of them too.
He’s being taught all kinds of stuff. More “traditional” academic things. Again, the Jesuits are responsible for teaching him. They take that charge pretty seriously.
I haven’t ever received a dime from the state. Even at first, when I became a single parent & my financial situation wasn’t nearly as good as today. I certainly didn’t receive any of those “stimulus checks” either. My reward – as it were – was to keep building jobs in spite of 2020’s inherent difficulties.
Appears he will be off to Northwestern after his senior year of high school, which begins this autumn. He has never been in any type of social “bubble”.
_______________________________________________
I don’t think applying broad brush strokes are all that helpful with anyone in re anything.
CRT tells kids
1. It’s white peoples fault
2. You’re always oppressed and will never amount to anything….cause you’re always oppressed.
Sounds like a great life lesson for kids to learn.
Least the Bible talks about forgiveness and love and do unto others and love thy neighbor.
Crt…..not so big on the forgiveness or love or unity thing.
You’ve clearly never read the Bible. It’s chock-full of murder, slavery, a childish god striking down entire cities, and other unforgiving things.
I’m still curious about Captain “nuanced” home school’s “General Pinochet had the right idea” post? Care to explain that one, Jamesian?
economic liberalization, privatization of state owned companies, and stabilization of inflation; why, what else did you think I was referring to? If you have your own favorite Pinochet policies, I’ll be happy to consider them.
Man, you’re as confused as they come. Yet you think you’re so on point. Does “The Caravan of Death” ring a bell, Christian? How ’bout a stadium full of political prisoners? Maybe this will help jog your memory:
“He shut down parliament, suffocated political life, banned trade unions, and made Chile his sultanate. His government disappeared 3,000 opponents, arrested 30,000 (torturing thousands of them) … Pinochet’s name will forever be linked to the Desaparecidos, the Caravan of Death, and the institutionalized torture that took place in the Villa Grimaldi complex.”
— Thor Halvorssen, president of the Human Rights Foundation, National Review[63]
Dude, those are your *FAVORITE* Pinochet policies????????????????
You’re a sad, silly little sociopath. Best if you got out of your house. Maybe let your kids out for a bit, too.
Kid/they’ll it’s a non gender pronoun usage, I believe.
I was just out a few minutes ago; butterflies flight paths like knuckleballs and hummingbirds like a 4-seamer up and in, swallows swooping like a chemically assisted spin rate, grass fragrant and sky blue, good day to play two.
dancing, blast it! dancing flight paths
also, buzzards circling overhead like Bronx crowd scenting death and yearning to feast on the carcasses of Boone & Cashman
They are vaccinated
Already stuck working from home. Everyone in this household is vaxed. Teams have had time to get their players vaxed. At this juncture, isolate those that are positive, test the rest, and add those taxi squad players to fill. There should be no more than a single game postponed. PLAY BALL!!
Jeez, is this ever going to end?
When is the flu going to end…the answer is never. Thankfully, unlike most flu, this doesn’t kill children.
But if you get vaccinate, more and more it’s time to treat this like the flu. You can still get sick but are unlikely to have severe symptoms.
Hello, I think you should look at the Delta stats. It is very dangerous for children, and there’s not a lot of debate about that.
Ridiculous!
This is why MLB should not ever schedule a single game. It’s the same problem when there is a rain out on a Sunday night. I don’t know why every single team wasn’t scheduled to play tonight. They have already had 3 days off.
why does it matter if there is or isnt a game today?
Because I like watching baseball and we have had 3 days in a row without baseball now. And the ASG doesn’t count, that’s not baseball that’s just a spectacle.
Every team used to start back on Thursday, why did they feel the need to add in yet another day off?
I’m sure that you like your days off..
Yeah, but when I get three in a row off I don’t expect a fourth.
Go check out your local minor league team. They’ve been back playing since Tuesday.
My local minor league team was eliminated thanks to Manfred. They are now an independent league team and not really relevant at all.
I don’t think today matters, just don’t want the series to be cancelled.
$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$
OK you had your year of Covid-19 move on from it now. Play the game with who you have available!
Agree. If your players can’t follow the protocol, then play with your AA or AAA guys.
How are the Yankees having all these issues with vaccinated players getting COVID? This is the 2nd time. Getting COVID after being vaccinated is extremely rare yet it’s happened to this team twice.
Different players
Stop testing all together. Those of us who wanted to be vaccinated have been. Those who didn’t haven’t. People will still get sick. That’s life, but we can’t go sticking swabs in people’s noses forever over a virus that over 99 percent of people survive, and which we have a vaccine for.
Ted, that’s a moronic comment. People who have been vaccinated can still catch it, and especially if they’re older, might not have the great response that younger vaccinated people would have. Plus, the longer you let the virus spread in your unvaccinated population, the more chance it has to mutate into a strand that can overcome the vaccine. And then we’re right back where we started. Please trust real science and get vaccinated. Fight for your country by getting a simple little needle!
I am vaccinated, and I also had covid in January. I fought for my country by searching for bombs in Afghanistan.
That doesn’t make your comment any less moronic, particularly regarding the survival rate (which also has to be spoken of in the context of Covid’s incredible infectiousness). But, seriously, thank you for your service and for getting vaccinated. You’re a good man!
I still don’t understand or what determines when games are cancelled or not because of covid. We’ve seen other positive tests and games have been played.
nobody has a clue. they make rules up as they go
I believe mlb takes a teams word regarding vaccinations. Obviously the Yankees are taking advantage of this fact. No way all these guys get COVID if they are fully vaccinated
Idiots.
Idiots ! Where’s buc in Charlotte ?! That’s his go to post
So back in may the had 8 players test positive and no games get canceled. Today 3 players positive and 3 awaiting results and game is canceled. No consistency
Exactly, makes no sense. No logic. Manfred is an idiot. I look forward to a commissioner one day that actually likes baseball.
Another ESPN game that got postponed that not many people outside of New England/New York were going to watch, Guess a replay of an ESPYs, that hardly anyone watched the 1st time is in queue.
on the bright side, at least some Yankees like Holder, Park, Gil etc. may get shots this year that they might not have gotten
Well I hope MLB will have Mrs. Aaron tested. Wasn’t she escorted to the field by Judge? Freeman needs to be tested again as well. I hope the ol` gal doesn’t come down with it, it would be too risky at her age.
Just get vaccinated. End this pandemic. No one should die now that there is a vaccine.
Yep but as long as you’re safe and now can never get the virus, let the rest of us decide for ourselves. I have religious exemption anyway but I wouldn’t take that garbage regardless and you’re safe from me because you took your medicine.
far far better outcome than the …. owning them, or me
So glad the all star game was moved out of atlanta.
😉
LOL
But the phillies had to play
If you don’t take the vaccine, you are not a patriot. It’s anti-American. Period. People that are still on the dumb conspiracy crap should not be taken seriously. Same with the fake voting fraud. These people should be mocked and ignored. You have a right to be dumb as a rock, but no one has to take these morons seriously anymore. Enough is enough.
I know that just 11 days ago on July 4th I gathered together with like-minded patriots to celebrate the time-honored traditions of government compulsion, punishing wrong-think, and, best of all, honoring busy bodies and asshats like, oh, yourself for example.
I like Turtles.
Jamesian your home-schooling is showing, big time.
Well, I, myself, was not home-schooled, but due to a certain giftedness was able to overcome the handicap and become the wielder of the English language that you see before you today.
You comments are consistently rubbish. Some of the dumbest stuff you will ever see on the internet.
terrorists, not patriots.
fixed it for you.
A better way of putting it is those who are like-minded to Jenny McCarthy should stop breeding and take themselves out of the gene pool. There are already way too many stupid idiots on this planet.
If you were in charge, see, you would do that. A distinguishable trait of the liberal mind.
yeah, because letting you guys cram christianity down everyone’s throat is so much better.
go ask yourself why so many of the folks dying from “liberal hoax” tend to be right wingers who buy into fairy tales?
oh wait, you’re a con. you don’t like questions.
Another dumb comment! Let’s attack Christianity now. Cowards always go after the one religion because they are too afraid to speak out against any other. Transparent atheism equals ignorant liberalism.
How ironic. Calling people un-American by making a completely un-American statement. GFY dude. Keep drinking whatever kool-aid they tell you on CNN.
A disease is not political genius. It’s science. You are not a scientist.
But you are an idiot, that’s for sure.
Real clever comment. Why is it that many anti American liberals like you wish death and destruction on everyone that doesn’t agree with your insanity or think like you? I see your new liberal socialism more as a mental illness now than ever before and I believe the vast majority of people do as well. Laughing over death????? Wow your deranged pal!
Billy
As you seem to be such an intellectual with a firm grasp of history and human existence “cough” this is addressed to you . I would be here all weekend listing the advances that resulted from liberal thought these past 500 years. However care to list some great advances in human existence that resulted from the conservative mind???
People from India are begging to get vaccinated because it’s not available to so many of them. The Covid situation there is horrible.
Why do all of these professional athletes refuse to get vaccinated?
Last I heard, only four MLB teams had less than 80% of their players and staff vaccinated.
why are all these professional athletes getting injured at unheard of rates? At last count more than 400 ballplayers are on the injured list.
Australian man here. From a comparative standpoint, we pretty much nailed the initial Covid hit down here. Did such a great job that a general Covid complacency crept in. Throw in some seriously bad press regarding blood clots and the AZ vaccine and vaccine hesitancy became a thing. The result is bugger all of us have been vaccinated and over half the population is currently in lockdown. The seemingly ultra contagious Delta variant is doing its thing. Stay vigilante.
It’s like driving in the snow. There are the super cautious drivers and the yahoos. A recipe for disaster. Same thing with the pandemic. Sadly, it’s not in our nature to be smart and careful but still go about our business. And so it goes. The protocols were simple as hell, wear a mask, social distance, wash your hands, pay attention to your health. Simple stuff that so many people claimed was an overstep. What a joke. Sad.
You’re too sensible Whyhayzee. You don’t belong here! 😉
Oh, I have my moments.
This is kind of a worst case scenario. All Star activities leading to every team spread. Let’s just hope no one becomes seriously ill, especially older personnel.
Way to go Judge
I guess all the talk of “why aren’t they vaccinated” is incorrect since at least three of them are.
I just read that all but one player is vaccinated and only that player is showing symptoms (probably Judge with the luck the team is having)..
Bummer for ESPN
They get the Sunday night game yanks sox as well, if they play
hhs.gov/about/news/2021/07/15/us-surgeon-general-i…
U.S. Surgeon General Dr. Vivek Murthy is issuing the first Surgeon General’s Advisory of this Administration to warn the American public about the urgent threat of health misinformation. Health misinformation, including disinformation, have threatened the U.S. response to COVID-19 and continue to prevent Americans from getting vaccinated, prolonging the pandemic and putting lives at risk, and the advisory encourages technology and social media companies to take more responsibility to stop online spread of health misinformation.
I totally understand and support the owner of this website removing comments from weird antivaxxers. But why would he also remove comments from the science-based and accurate pro-vaxxers? It would be like removing “2+2 = 5” from your website, but then also removing “2+2 = 4” because it’s somehow controversial. Let’s spread real science here in the small way we can! (Otherwise great website. The level of analysis is amazing and appreciated!)
Because maybe what you think is real facts others would argue that it’s disputable. Just as scientist are arguing about herd immunity and how deadly this virus is to the vast majority of people. Just because you think it’s so doesn’t make it so. How many times has that imbecile Fauci stayed one thing and than flip flopped? Yes this virus is real bad especially for the elderly and we still have no control over it thanks to communist China for not being transparent but we also must allow people to decide on their own what they choose to inject in their bodies. This debate can go on and on but that’s why theirs always two sides and somewhere in the middle.
Wow, opinionated much?
You typing that demonstrates my point. You think scientists are arguing about this. They are not. 99% of scientist all agree. For some reason people like you choose to look at the 1%. There is no debate.
Wait. Maybe climate change caused by humans isn’t really happening. Maybe the moon landing was staged. Maybe there was no holocaust. Maybe the earth is flat. Maybe the rump won the election. And maybe, just maybe, the Orioles will win the World Series this year.
Well said Whyhayzee. Boggles my mind that so many people ignore scientific consensus to instead listen to weird fringe outsiders.
Judge must like the IL so much that he will do anything to get there, For the nitwits who don’t get this, it is only a joke, bad taste perhaps, but still just a joke.
I’m glad they’re playing tonight like the rest of the major leagues. Yesterday’s game was gimmicky and stupid. MLB thinks the whole world needs a Red Sox – yankees game. No. It’s the last thing anyone cares about.
That rivalry lost its flare after Variteck,Big pappi,Rodriguez and Clemens were playing.
So what was purpose of getting vaccinated?? lmao its all BS
