I had my Cardinals vs Cubs preview all written up when news came that the Cardinals
received another positive Covid-19 test. After a week of no games, I was excited
to get the season going again.

As of this moment, it’s a single player testing positive who’s been with the team
all season. I’m sure we’ll start seeing the speculation of who is breaking protocol
and went out; I’m willing to guess that it’s taken a few days for the symptoms to
appear and the test to go positive. Remember, it can be up to 14 days before symptoms
appear.

As we’ve learned with the last bout of tests, contact tracing isn’t always available
to the public. I’m sure there is something to the speculation that players were 
at a casino before their outbreak, but the team has denied that. In a situation 
like this, I’m leaning towards the team, even though they would keep something like
a casino visit under wraps.

If they can confirm only 1 players has a positive, they will play tomorrow and Sunday.
I’m willing to guess that tomorrow’s game won’t be played and we might see a double
header on Sunday. In any case, my preview will be available before the next game.

So instead of reading my preview…check out this stuff:

 * I’ve discovered a new social media platform to talk sports: [SportsHosts](https://sportshosts.mn.com/).
   I’ve been checking it out and there is some good interaction there. You can talk
   with anyone or just limit it to your teams.
 * I’ll be sharing my thoughts on season 2 of _The Umbrella Academy_ and comparing
   it to the comics.
 * The [PC Bombcast](https://www.pcbombcast.com/) dropped a new episode yesterday;
   there is some great talk about comics and movies.
 * Marvel Unlimited dropped the Free Comic Day Edition of the X-Men, which previews
   the X of Swords event coming up. The issue didn’t give you a ton of info on the
   crossover, but we’re also 5 months away from it happening.
 * Look up the Braves’ Organist on Twitter; he played Michael Jackson’s _Beat It_
   when Reese McGuire came up to bat last night ([I’ve retweeted it](https://twitter.com/nyrdcast)).
 * This post was brought to you by [Dogfish Head’s](https://www.dogfish.com/) Slightly
   Mighty. It’s up there for a low cal/low carb beer; it’s not quite an IPA, but
   it’s got more flavor than the marco lagers that get the “healthy” label. 4% ABV,
   30 IBU. It’s a solid 4 out of 5.

Stay safe everyone.
