Summary

Today's word of the day is 'circus' as in what MLB has become. Coronavirus outbreak has now spread to the St. Louis Cardinals, who now have to quarantine and postpone games. What about the Marlins? Is everything good with them? Nope! Any player or coach who has tested positive is hopping on a BUS!!! to travel from Philadelphia to Miami. A CIRCUS (0:06)! Now we have double-headers that will be just 7 innings long! Where did this come from? MLB is making it up on the fly (7:55). Anthony Rizzo was not happy with MLB during the Cubs rain delay on Thursday. He tweeted out that he wanted to know where in MLB's player safety protocols sitting around the stadium for hours and hours waiting to get word on a postponement. CIRCUS (11:51)! MLB needs some rule changes and they need them now. Here are some rules I would propose and enforce (15:59). Review - Birds of Prey (32:30). The NBA is back! The NBA is back! Bubbles are working!
