The board's server will undergo upgrade maintenance tonight, Nov 5, 2014, beginning approximately around 10 PM ET. Prepare for some possible down time during this process.
If this is it, and they spent 4 months essentially arguing about money, I wonder where this leaves Rob Manfred. They could have tried a bubble, they didn't, I guess we'll see if the NBA plan works. They could essentially say screw it and keep going as something like this was inevitable.
Guys, I am not a moderator! I swear to God! Why does everyone think I'm a moderator?

I mean, look what's happening in the NBA with a bubble. Guys still going out and getting in trouble. No bubble for baseball mixed with dumbass pro athletes. No way this season runs 60 games. Chud, get ready to refund my fantasy money

OMG, you guys! MLB has had a 0.4% rate of positive Coronavirus tests! Everyone freak the fuck out!!!
The Marlins have more positive coronavirus tests than the Rays avg fans... This does really highlight how fast this thing can spread without warning for all those deniers out there that think the whole thing is an over blown hoax to ruin Lord Dampnuts presidency.
if this was any big-market team (e.g., Yankees, Dodgers, Red Sox, Cubs, etc.), and that team lost 40% of its players, I'm assuming the official cancellation of the season would be only hours away. But no one cares about the Marlins, and their replacement players are about as recognizable as their regular players. So alas . . .
The whole "percentage of total tests to come back positive" thing is hilarious... do people actually think it's meaningful?
If players are tested every day from the start of summer training until the end of the season, that's somewhere around 80 tests each. If 0.4% of those tests come back positive, that will mean 32% of all players in the league contracted COVID over the course of the season.
Like... you see why the 0.4% number is stupid and completely meaningless, right? The only thing that matters is the number of players who get it.
