At least the fan that likes to get thrown out won't be there...

Yep... It is just getting worse and worse...

Back in the old days, could blame it on the switching of leagues...

Jesus Christ... Schwellenbach has fractured elbow, lands on injured list https://www.mlb.com/news/spencer-schwellenbach-fractured-elbow The Braves lost a key piece of their rotation on Wednesday when they placed right-hander Spencer Schwellenbach on the 15-day injured list with a fractured right elbow. Schwellenbach's most recent start in a dominant sophomore season was perhaps the best of his career: a career-high 12 strikeouts over seven innings of one-run ball against the division-rival Phillies on Saturday. Schwellenbach and the Braves made no mention of any concerns with the right-hander's elbow following that start. Schwellenbach, 25, has gone 7-4 with a 3.09 ERA in 17 starts this year. ---- Might as well starting selling off... The injuries again...

That would be the only plus, but for a team that made the playoffs last year, I would think the fans would not be happy about becoming sellers at the deadline... If they are going to keep him in the lineup, move him down in the order until he starts producing, but I would still send him down to at least try to get the confidence back where things are working...

Yeah too bad you couldn't give the enema this board really needs, like you said...

https://www.tmz.com/2025/07/02/adult-film-star-kylie-page-dead-suspected-overdose/ Adult-film star Kylie Page has died in Los Angeles from a suspected overdose, TMZ can confirm. Kylie died on June 25 ... she was found in her Hollywood residence after a concerned friend called law enforcement to check in on her, police sources tell us. Unfortunately, when the fire department arrived at the scene, she was pronounced dead. We're told officers found fentanyl and drug paraphernalia in her home ... as well as sexual photos of her with different men scattered around the apartment. An official cause of death has not been confirmed ... but law enforcement tells TMZ her death is a suspected overdose, and foul play is not thought to be involved. The film star -- real name Kylie Pylant -- was born in Tulsa, Okla. and found success in the adult entertainment business, working with big-name companies such as Vixen Media and Canadian porn website Brazzers. Her family has set up a GoFundMe to help with funeral expenses and transporting her body "home from California to the Midwest." The fundraising page reads ... "This GoFundMe isn’t just about funeral expenses. It’s about bringing Kylie home. It’s about helping her family breathe through the shock, the grief, and the unimaginable reality they’re living in." She was 28 years old. RIP ---- [Mr. Mackey]"Drugs are bad, m'kay? [/Mr. Mackey]

https://www.cnbc.com/2025/07/02/adp-jobs-report-june-2025.html Private sector hiring unexpectedly contracted in June, payrolls processing firm ADP said Wednesday, in a possible sign that the economy may not be as sturdy as investors believe as they bid the S&P 500 back up to record territory to end the month. Private payrolls lost 33,000 jobs in June, the ADP report showed, the first decrease since March 2023. Economists polled by Dow Jones forecast an increase of 100,000 for the month. The May job growth figure was revised even lower to just 29,000 jobs added from 37,000. “Though layoffs continue to be rare, a hesitancy to hire and a reluctance to replace departing workers led to job losses last month,” Nela Richardson, ADP’s chief economist, said in a press release published Wednesday morning. To be sure, the ADP report has a spotty track record on predicting the subsequent government jobs report, which investors tend to weigh more heavily. May’s soft ADP data ended up differing significantly from the monthly jobs report figures that came later in the week. This week, the government’s nonfarm payrolls report will be out on Thursday with economists expecting a healthy 110,000 increase for June, per Dow Jones estimates. Economists are expecting the unemployment rate to tick higher to 4.3% from 4.2%. Some economists could revise down their jobs reports estimates following ADP’s data. Weekly jobless claims data is also due Thursday, with economists penciling in 240,000. This string of labor stats comes during a shortened trading week, with the market closing early on Thursday and remaining dark on Friday in honor of the July Fourth holiday. Service roles hit hardest The bulk of job losses came in service roles tied to professional and business services and health and education, according to ADP. Professional/business services notched a decline of 56,000, while health/education saw a net loss of 52,000. Financial activity roles also contributed to the month’s decline with a drop of 14,000 on balance. But the contraction was capped by payroll expansions in goods-producing roles across industries such as manufacturing and mining. All together, goods-producing positions grew by 32,000 in the month, while payrolls for service roles overall fell by 66,000. The Midwest and Western U.S. saw the strongest contractions in June, declining by 24,000 and 20,000, respectively. Meanwhile, the Northeast shed 3,000 roles. The Southern U.S. was the sole region tracked by the ADP to see payrolls expand on net in the month, recording an increase of 13,000 positions. The smallest firms tended to see more job losses in the month than their larger counterparts. In fact, businesses with more than 500 employees saw the biggest payroll growth in the month with an increase of 30,000, per ADP. By comparison, businesses with fewer than 20 employees accounted for 29,000 lost roles on net. Annual income growth decreased modestly from May for both job stayers and hoppers. The rate of pay increase for those staying in their jobs ticked down to 4.4% from 4.5%, while those getting new roles slid to 6.8% from 7%. The S&P 500 is up more than 4% for the year, posting a stunning comeback in the second quarter after worries about President Donald Trump’s tariff fights nearly sent the benchmark into a bear market. --- I hope this is just a one-time blip... Of course, the right will blame Biden for it...

The jury probably voted to avoid a riot across the country...

Weren't you a board admin at the beginning?

I could see that if it is done properly and beautifully, however, there have been many that have tried to make it their own and it was disgusting...

Jac Caglianone should be demoted with his numbers: .151 AVG, .449 OPS, 2 HR, 4 RBI, 21 K in 93 AB I can understand keeping him in the lineup, but with him still there, that would seem to me that the Royals are raising the white flag for the season...

I usually just watch "A Capitol Fourth" display on the tube...

As I mentioned above, "Honestly, I couldn't care less..."
