Day 135: The Full Open of MLB

• Another night of tear gas in Portland.  Seems to be the epicenter of it all right now -- and if something is not done to try to get calm, then the alt-Right will get their wish and you will see troops in there.
• For the first time in the history of the event, the virus has caused the cancellation of the world-famous Ironman Triathlon World Championship in Hawaii.
• Washington State University has cancelled ALL on-campus classes for the Fall.  All work will now be online. 
• Two staff members and an athlete at Michigan State University have tested positive, so, to be sure, they are going to quarantine the entire football camp. 
• It appears as if the fall-back plan of Buffalo has at least mostly won the Blue Jays until the season at which Canada can allow them back.  Announced today, just five days before the first "home game", that the majority of home games will be played in Buffalo.
• Zion Williamson has returned to the Pelicans and will have to begin a minimum four-day quarantine under NBA policies.  First seeding game is the 30th, but he's been away from the team for so long, he may not be able to play that much.  New Orleans is 3 1/2 games out of the 8 seed, tied for the #9.
• The first NFL opt-out:  Kansas City's Laurent Duvernay-Tardif is out for the season -- opting to continue work as an orderly.
• Injurious force and sonic weapons have apparently been authorized to fell a protest in St. Charles, Missouri along Interstate 70 tonight.
