    Maybe you should read Sontag so that you can respond in a relevant manner to what I was saying. (There's also likely a Wiki entry that will help you see what my point was.)

    Sontag's quote most apropos to baseball was "you can not think and hit (some one) at the same time."

    If she were still alive I would say at spring training to JBJ. But No I don't.

    Well, ESPN+ isn't exclusively for MLB, wise guy

    Well then try to provide more accurate information that doesn't make ESPN+ look like a rip off. It's actually a really good deal

    This is about the cost to watch baseball, nothing else. I don't care about anything else on ESPN+ because I rarely watch it.

    Ok, that's your choice, but saying that it costs you $5.99 per month to watch baseball is a deceiving and inaccurate statement when it comes to ESPN+

    That's how much it would cost for me to watch baseball on ESPN+ plus. It's not deceiving or inaccurate.

    Maybe we can steal a title in a 60 game season.....meanwhile

    We get a break on Price sitting out the year....
    What we got from Betts are looking better....60 games of Betts for 15 contract years...

    No one is getting a $350M/10 year deals after this year....too much uncertainty...

    Will Betts sign a one year deal?

    Loss of Sale is not as painful with shortened season.....
