Day 69
- And the bad news keeps coming: The USGA has cancelled all regional and sectional qualifying plans for the 2020 US Open of golf.
- Khabib Nurmagedov has announced his
mother correction: father is gravely ill in the hospital with COVID-19 complications after heart surgery. (UPDATE: Medically induced coma now.)
- Tonight's ESPN Classic Baseball: 2011 World Series Game 6 -- the David Freese Game.
- Venezuela and Scotland have cancelled the remainder of their 2019-2020 soccer campaigns.
- Pier 1 Imports is finished -- once and if stores can reopen, it will be a liquidation sale.
- Taylor Swift is the latest road casualty of all this -- no 2020 tour, which was going to be featured by the first live event at the new SoFi Stadium in Inglewood, CA.
- It appears the current MLS plan (with the announcement today that the MLS vs. Liga MX All-Star Game has been called off for this season) is a full-league tournament, including group phase, starting in July -- with 3-4 weeks of training in June in Orlando.
- Olbermann:
- The appeal on Manchester City's 2-year European ban for Financial Fair Play will be June 8-10.
- And NASCAR has run into the one problem this abbreviated restart can give -- weather! Xfinity race for Darlington now rescheduled Thursday noon.
- In news which is going to chill the expectations of the English Premier League restarting -- the first wave of tests came back with 6 positives from 3 clubs.
- Mike Trout admits he does not believe that Major League Baseball can return without enough testing to test everyone DAILY. And that should be all for 2020 for MLB.
- And if that's not enough... The A's have defaulted on their annual rent payment to the Oakland Coliseum Authority. That one will probably end up in court eventually, it's obvious it's because of COVID-19 and the like, but...
- Well, this is interesting: The Belmont Stakes is going to be on June 20th... Marking the first time in history the Belmont is actually the FIRST leg of the Triple Crown.
