Passion for the Pastime: Slap on the Wrist

Well the verdict came down earlier this week, and it wasn't what baseball fans expected. I guess cheating gets you a slap on the wrist. Maybe not even a slap, more of a tap, because the Red Sox didn't get anything for cheating. Blame placed in all directions except for the organization. But in these times we cant focus on the negative. A positive note from the Commissioners Officer, Rob Manfred fully expects baseball to resume in 2020, so there is still hope at the end of the tunnel. Until then lets watch grown adults play baseball games. No, seriously lets do it. It is highly entertaining and you get a chance to engage with a select few of professional athletes. Hunter Pence is by far the most entertaining to watch on twitch. If what other people play games is a weird concept for you, never fear, I am hear to give you the new wave of sports. MLB Dream Bracket started last week, with 32 teams and we are not down to the final 8 teams. Playing simulated games and with live MLB network hosts, calling the game, take a dive into baseball history as you watch a simulation of baseball player of the past, and present day superstars. Left remaining are the Yankees, Astros, Red Sox and White Sox in the AL bracket and the NL bracket you have the Cardinals, Reds, Brewers and Dodgers. I make my selections and next time we will take a dive into the Final Four of the Dream Bracket, where these teams fight for all-time bragging rights.
