Day 124

• Not a good week for CJ Perry, WWE Superstar Lana.  Perry announced, earlier in the week, her mother was in hospital, unable to breathe, with asthma complications.  The next couple of days, she announced both her parents have tested positive for the coronavirus.  Both are recovering, with some struggles.  Now her husband, former WWE Superstar FKA Rusev announced on his gaming stream today that HE has tested positive for the virus, after losing his senses of taste and smell.  He's in good spirits, though.
• In a move surprising absolutely nobody, and all but purports a move to the top club teams migrating to a single Superleague in Europe (if and when we get a vaccine), Manchester City's two-year Financial Fair Play ban has been overturned. 
• MLB: The Show 20 has made it to the All-Star Break, so Botball is doing a Home Run Derby tonight, the All-Star Game tomorrow, several minor-league all-star games during the break, and a tournament in the game of a lot of the broadcasters who've been calling games on the Botball channel.
• The standings at the break: 

1. AL East:  Yankees 5 1/2 up on the Rays.  60-35 now third-best in the AL.
2. AL Central:  Twins still have the best record in the AL at 62-36, tied with the White Sox on number of games over .500, Indians 1 1/2 back. 
3. AL West:  Oakland 4 up on the CanBangers, as the Astros go hot into the break to get to 5 over .500.
4. White Sox and Indians are the Wildcards.
5. Twins #1 AL, Yankees #2, Oakland #3
6. NL East:  Nationals 3 1/2 up on the Braves.
7. NL Central:  Cubs have the best record in baseball at 62-34.  Reds are 20 over .500 for the first WC, but still 4 back.
8. NL West:  Heard some surmise Madison Bumgartner could win the NL Botball Cy Young for the DBacks, as their pitching has carried them over the streaky Dodgers.  DBacks 3 up on the Dodgers.
9. Reds and Braves the Wildcards.
10. Cubs #1, Nationals #2, DBacks #3.
