Now, you are saying to yourself, why do we care, why does Betsy care?
I only cared in 2016 when the Chicago Cubs won the series! I even have a sweat shirt that celebrates the event. (of course this is just a result of living with a HUGE Cubs fan, I have become a fan)
Anyway, this year I wanted the Rays to win because they spend $28,290,689 on payroll vs. the Dodgers spending $107,917,397 and I always like the underdog. (even though both sets of salaries are CRAZY)
This still might not have made the blog until Justin Turner, the 3rd baseman for the Dodgers tested positive for Covid, was pulled from the game and THEN WENT OUT ON THE FIELD TO CELEBRATE.
What a selfish selfish man. No picture here, because he doesn't deserve a picture. When he first left his quarantine, the security tried to stop him and get him back in quarantine and he REFUSED!
To quote the New York Times:
"Your actions were a slap in the face to all who have died. All who have lost loved ones. All who have caught the disease and struggled. To the doctors and nurses, the grocery clerks and the postal workers. To the kids stuck at home, attending school over laptops.
You should make amends to your fans, to the fans of baseball, to everyone watching, and all who see you as a role model."
Of course other articles have pointed out a big question, "why did MLB test the players if they weren't going to get the results before the game?" Turner's Monday test came back "inconclusive" during the 2nd inning on Tuesday, so they quickly tested his Tuesday's results and it was positive...but by then the game was almost over. (my cynical self thinks that the Monday test was actually positive, but they didn't want to pull him out for a false positive so they looked at the Tuesday result to be sure.)
