So the Rays got to touch their dreams, but they walk away without grabbing the golden ring.
As Harry Chapin said, it was either in the lyrics to “Taxi” or his less known sequel to the song simply titled “Sequel”, “Sometimes its better, if you don’t get to touch your dreams. If you don’t get to touch your dreams”...I think it was in “Sequel”...

Congratulations to the Dodgers, your 2020 Coronaball champions. Just glad it wasn't the Rays or the Asterisks. [img class="smile" alt="  " src="//storage.proboards.com/6828121/images/IyJhWnUbqfppgNdcNHpb.gif"] It's going to be a long winter, mainly for reasons that have nothing to do with baseball. Fitting end to 2020:
Justin Turner was pulled from Game 6 of the World Series on Tuesday against the Rays due to a positive COVID-19 test.
What a weird bit of news to end a weird season, one that resulted in the Dodgers claiming their first World Series championship since 1988. Turner played the first seven innings of Tuesday night's clincher before suddenly disappearing from the field -- and from the Dodgers' dugout -- before the top of the eighth. Edwin Rios finished out the game at third base. Look for updates on Turner's status in the coming days.

Dumbass alert, dumbass alert:
Ken Rosenthal said on FS1 late Tuesday that Justin Turner (COVID-19) "insisted upon" being part of the Dodgers' World Series clinching celebration.
Turner was pulled before the eighth inning of Tuesday night's World Series Game 6 win when the Dodgers were alerted that the veteran third baseman had tested positive for COVID-19, but he joined his teammates on the field 20-30 minutes after the final out and even took part in a team photo on the mound. The transcribed television report from Rosenthal: "My understanding from various people is that he was told not to go on the field, or asked not to go on the field. He insisted upon it, the Dodgers insisted upon it, and that is why he was out there. And at one point, he did have his mask off. He was mostly masked, but there was a point during the picture that he did take it off." Rosenthal also stated that "this is not a case of a false positive."

Nice way to turn a celebration into a "super spreader" event. What an asshole!

I wonder how Turner picked up the virus when he was quarantined with the rest of the Dodgers during the entire postseason? I would think that everyone on the Dodgers & Rays plus all the umpires that worked the World Series will have to be tested several times during the next week just to be safe. |

The first team in MLB history to win a trophy and claim a virus for the team mascot in the World Series...

OH WELL: Sorry Tequila, WE came close to winning out TB WS Bet. But as I have always told you CLOSE only counts in:
--Hand Grenades --Close Dancing --Threesomes
I still give TB CREDIT for a JOB beyond well done on a Limited Budget = Says a LOT about their Manager & GM.
SADLY, the WS ended on a very negative not with a Idiotic & Stupid LA Player celebrating with the rest of the team while he had the Virus. I WILL NOT EVEN MENTION HIS NAME...
Once again, it shows how the Stupid Virus has infected more Americans than COVID.

Not exactly sure how close “counts” in a threesome, but I won’t ask for further details... |
