  - Well, it sounds like there will probably be some unown raids soon. - the wrong element, bad guy Jul 24, 11:48

Blue Jays will play in Buffalo. -- nm - Diva Jul 24, 11:11 4
- Honestly, that makes the most sense, given it's proximity to the Canadian border and Toronto. -- nm - Mop Jul 24, 11:12 3
  - But honestly with no fans in attendance, any team could play wherever. -- nm - Reagen Jul 24, 11:22 2
    - Right. There's no real reason to be near Toronto when they can't go back and forth and their fans can't attend the game. They're better off - Krusty Jul 24, 11:27 1

      - these folks were on vacation and didn't give a shit. -- nm - Diva Jul 24, 11:46
      - MA is actually doing VERY well, and I think it's because of leadership from the top. Which, as we know, is absent in much of America. -- nm - loosilu Jul 24, 11:41
Brag/arg: I mentioned a few weeks ago that my wife had to drive up to MA. The reason is that she got invited - prayformojo Jul 24, 10:53 28
- The travel restrictions go into place on August 1. -- nm - decline Jul 24, 11:15 4
  - huh. She's driving up on Thursday and staying until August 8. We'll have to see if she'd be grandfathered in. -- nm - prayformojo Jul 24, 11:27 3

        Amen, and I apologize that I didn't respond to that in my post. People suck, and honestly, it doesn't really surprise me it was NH. -- nm - loosilu Jul 24, 11:46
        
        NH is functionally a direct extension of MA. It's the outlet mall. -- nm* - loosilu Jul 24, 11:10
