Baseball this 'n' that

That didn't take long, did it?

After upsetting Philadelphia over the weekend, the Miami Marlins have been hit with a series of positive tests for coronavirus, forcing the postponement of a series vs. Baltimore, and the Marlins are on ice until at least Monday, according to reports.

The Phillies, on the other hand, have seen their home & home four-set with the Yankees postponed as well as Major League Baseball is checking to see if there were any positive tests among Phillies players and/or stadium personnel, though reports suggest the Marlins didn't get infected in Philadelphia.

As a consolation, the Yankees will play two at Camden Yards against Baltimore tomorrow and Thursday, with two previously scheduled dates switched out to make up for the Phillies postponements. Stay tuned.
=======================================
When Michael Wacha broke in with the St. Louis Cardinals in 2013, becoming NLCS MVP in the process, a certain Muppet's picture appeared in the stands.....

"Wacha! Wacha! Wacha!"

The very name lends itself to being a play on Fozzie Bear's catchphrase, "Wocka! Wocka!" from The Muppet Show. And so it is, then, that with Wacha winning his Mets debut Monday night over Boston, now would be a good time to have Fozzie make an appearance. Just can't resist.

After beating Boston, the Mets find themselves tied for first in the NL East with Atlanta at 2-2 after the Braves lost to Tampa Bay.

Now, if there were fans in the stands, you know the Mets would find a way to do a promotion with the Muppets......!
