The #Cubs released a fancy hype video to their fans Tuesday night announcing baseball’s triumphant return. And while we were all happy to finally get the news that millionaires and billionaires finally settled their obnoxious $hit $how (well, kinda not really), their haughty “There Will Be Baseball” proclamation comes off as if they are doing us all a favor. It’s as if we should salute their tireless efforts to bring us the game they’ve actively been working to destroy. The obvious irony of accidentally(?) referencing PT Anderson‘s classic film There Will Be Blood and its admonishment of blind capitalist greed was clearly lost on everyone involved.
Major League A*Holes 
Nobody ever said the PR departments for these dumbasses wasn’t a shit show as well. I may watch a few games but I doubt I’ll feel any emotions if my team (Oakland) won the “Covid World Series.” The Asstros owner not giving a shit about his own fans just to sell beer and trinkets was kind of the final nail in the coffin. It’s really, really hard to root for a bunch of punks. (and not the good kind)
Yeah, we’re going to talk about what a 2020 World Series title* would really mean to us on The Show this Thursday. I’m so ambivalent right now – as angry as I am with how they’re treating the fans through all this shit, I’m equally fired up to watch games again. It’s like I’m a hostage with Stockholm syndrome.
