And I don't know how to count whatsoever... We're at Day 705!!

• ROTFLMAO.
• I can chalk this up to COVID Fatigue.  Seriously.
• But I've miscounted, by about 40 days, where we are in this mess.
• I was making a reference to how funny it was that the day some of us know as "Singles' Awareness Day" would pop up as Day 666 of the COVID situation.
• And then I stopped cold, and realized we are less than a month from two years into this COVID shit, and the math is completely wrong.  The count went wrong, somehow, at the first of the year.
• Oh well, it's rectified now.  Day 705, we carry on...

Now to the news of the day:

• Grain of salt (OK, a truckload) because it's Joe Buck:  But he says he believes the MLB lockout will resolve in the next two weeks.
• One of the reasons I think Buck is full of shit:  The latest proposal actually appears to want to allow MLB to cut the number of minor league players by a factor of one-sixth.  Won't be in 2022 or probably 2023, but the latest owner offer puts it on the Commissioner (who hates the minor leagues and having to pay them) to reduce the list as he sees fit.
• Tyreke Evans is the first player in 14 years to successfully complete the NBA/NBPA's two-year drug suspension and be reinstated.  He can negotiate with teams now, play Friday.
• Look for prices to go through the roof on something else soon:  Avocado imports from Mexico have been suspended.
