Day 104

  • The 60-game season for MLB has been finalized.
  1. All play will be geographic to limit travel.
  2. Full prorated salaries.
  3. 10 team playoff for now.
  4. Universal DH
  5. And they're going with the runner at second for extra innings.  FUCK.
  6. Teams can have 60 players, and a three-player taxi squad, one of the three must be a catcher. 
  7. And, for those on Twitch, the Botball season will continue.  Not sure how many games will get covered once the season starts.
  • Avery Bradley of the Lakers will not play in the NBA restart.
  • Nikola Jokic of the Denver Nuggets has tested positive for the coronavirus in his home country. 
  • As has Novak Djokovic, one of tennis' Big Three. 
  • Accusations in the #SpeakingOut situation have been levied against Jerry Lawler (by a 14 year old), Scott Levy/Raven (fellow wrestler), and the late Mean Gene Okerlund, among others, as I'm still looking through.
  • AEW has more problems:  Prominent in the card Darby Allin now has an allegation against him. 
  • AEW's "The Elite":  Kenny Omega, The Young Bucks, etc. have begun the process of scrubbing sexual predator Joey Ryan out of their wildly-popular Being the Elite archive, they announced today. 
  • Marty Scurll, in a statement, said he believes the incident he is being accused of (16 year old in the UK, he says it was age of consent) was consensual, but he understands why she spoke out, given the reports in the UK wrestling community.  We'll see what happens to him, not only in BTE, but that he's Ring of Honor's booker and the #1 contender for the NWA World Championship.
  • Olbermann: 
  • Three Colorado Rockies have been reported as tested positive for the coronavirus.  You sure a 60-man roster is going to be ENOUGH?   
  • The list of potential hub cities for the NHL playoffs is down to six:  Vegas, Chicago, LA, Edmonton, Toronto, and Vancouver.  Two of the three Canadian cities, please -- so you have enough rinks to deal with.
