Day 573

• Sage Steele suspended from ESPN, AND positive for COVID.  Appears she doesn't think Obama is Black Enough...  URGH...   
• If what happens tonight is what I THINK is going to happen tonight, prepare for a Thermonuke Post at some point.  And if I'm wrong, I'll be glad to be wrong.  This is one of the largest-scale setups I've ever seen in 20 years of watching sports go conspiracy...
• And it took a second day, but Jayce Tingler was fired.
• At least one source said Theo Epstein was offered a chance to run the Mets.  He refused.
• For reasons I will eventually do a post on, WHEW...  Two home runs, including a two-run Chris Taylor walk-off in the ninth, and the Dodgers get the Giants by beating St. Louis 3-1.  I will still do that post (not as a Thermonuke) at some point before Friday night's Game 1, I hope -- because I do think there needs to be a real discussion with some people as to why I don't "Shut The Fuck Up" and that I cannot "Enjoy the Show".  (I didn't watch the game tonight, except following the bottom of the eighth inning online (Seriously, MLB???  THREE HOURS AND FORTY MINUTES to get through 8 innings????).)   
• St. Louis had their chances -- 0 for 11 RISP, their only run on a first-inning wild pitch.
• One of the "big loss" Final Jeopardys for Matt Amodio, but that's win #36 -- but he got dinged down to about $17,000 for the day.  But there have been 18 shows this season, Amodio has run away with 17 of them...
