Michael Ramirez for August 10, 2020

This must have been the 10th or so nearly identical image from various cartoonists. Seems too early to me, but then I’d be as happy if baseball just faded away as not.

I am a hell of a lot more about kids and school employees and teachers. Wear a damn mask, wimps.

Is this another cognitive test? Yes, I remember all the MLB logos. Weren’t we to circle the picture again of the Skunk who lives in The White House ?

Is this the 5th or 6th time I’ve seen this cartoon by various artists?

Ramirez resorts to copying everyone else. Must have run out of propaganda today.

At least the batter IS wearing a mask.

Wow, Sr. Ramirez, how not original, this cartoon has appeared in at least ten other cartoonist’s postings. Guess you had nothing original today; or as we usually say, “What makes this day different from all other days?”

You know what baseball is to me?

Golf.

Baseball is golf.

Given the number of dead Americans, sick Americans, infected Americans (both known and unknown), lack of leadership in this crisis, lack of a known workable therapy for the sick and dying, lack of proven safe and effective vaccine, when it comes to the lack of sports, especially professional sports, I have, after careful and thoughtful deliberation, decided to adopt the Rhett Butler position: “Frankly, my dear, I don’t give a damn."

Like I’ve said before, if a multi-billion dollar company can’t keep about 1000 employees save, what chance to our schools have?

Baseball priced themselves out of my market long ago.

So no expensive beer and hotdogs this year.

Interesting. Ramirez can make sense when he avoids political topics. I wonder how close he could get to the question of why this country has so completely failed in response to the virus before he resumes his usual irrational right wing-ism?
