They declined because they pitched on Saturday and Sunday... Even if they said yes, MLB would have had to replace them then... Having Miz there was a good thing because they can showcase the real young ones currently in The Show... You know, "the future is bright" kind of thing... It would be even better if Manfred was gone and recent rule changes were revoked...

Another list I am guessing I didn't make...

I would assume that Mis would be shutdown some time in late-August or early-September... Thrown around 90 IP this year after 97 last year, which was a career high...

Proxy for GuardBum: 2.08 - Merrill Kelly, SP, ARZ

Was he on your radar or did you take him because GB had him next??

You are one tall wascawwy wabbit...

GB having avatars turned off...

Thanks @squistion... Ugh... Recovery has got to be one of the most difficult things to do...

What is the current death total for this catastrophic event? I don't feel like looking it up...

https://www.tmz.com/2025/07/14/this-spinal-tap-actor-david-kaff-dead/ David Kaff — best known for his role as keyboardist Viv Savage in the iconic film, "This is Spinal Tap," has died. Kaff's band, "Mutual of Alameda’s Wild Kingdom," posted an announcement on Facebook, saying he died peacefully in his sleep, but no cause of death was given. The hard rock group said they were devastated by Kaff's death, explaining that he was kind, quick-witted and would always make people smile. Kaff (real name David Kaffinetti) launched his music career as a pioneering member of the British rock band, "Rare Bird," from 1969 to 1975. During this time, the group released five studio albums and their single, "Sympathy, rocketed up the charts and sold an estimated one million copies worldwide. Then Kaff got his big break in the 1984 Rob Reiner directed mockumentary, “This Is Spinal Tap,” when he was cast as Viv Savage, who played the keyboard in the fake English rock band. His character had some memorable lines in the movie, such as “Quite exciting, this computer magic!” and “Have a good time…all the time.” Even though "Spinal Tap" was a fictional band, Kaff and the other actors played some live shows through the first year of the movie's release, even performing on "Saturday Night Live." But then Kaff left the band by year's end and never looked back, cutting all ties. Kaff was 79. RIP

Yep, that is true...

Angel Reese has really been better recently... In her last ten games, she has shot 50.8% from the floor and 83% from the line... She also has only four offensive rebounds in her last four games...

The Braves should sell, but they don't have much other than Ozuna and Iglasias, and even then most teams probably aren't that desperate to trade for either one... Maybe Pierce Johnson as he has a team option for one more year...

Coming out September 12 of this year...

Mickey Mantle was demoted back to AA (not his drinking) his rookie season because of his batting average... He was down there for five weeks or so and came back to the majors better... The same thing could happen here...

RFK is in the demolition stages... https://www.wusa9.com/article/news/investigations/commanders-stadium/rfk-stadium-demolition-events-dc-washington-commanders-stadium/65-64764352-83ee-4e92-808b-43ac0c6c0df2

https://tvline.com/lists/scrubs-reboot-everything-we-know-abc-revival/scrubs-reboot-cast/ As the new Scrubs awaits an ABC premiere date, TVLine is rounding up everything we already know about the highly anticipated revival. The hospital-set comedy first bowed on NBC in 2001, and chronicled Dr. John Dorian’s rise from intern to attending at Sacred Heart. When NBC announced that it would not renew the series beyond Season 7, ABC swooped in and picked up the show for what was conceived as an eighth and final season, complete with a series finale that creator Bill Lawrence first conceived of years prior. But ABC ultimately renewed Scrubs for Season 9, which was subtitled Med School and featured a mix of new and returning characters, with Kerry Bishé’s med student Lucy Bennett installed as the quasi-spinoff’s new narrator. The original Scrubs ensemble consisted of Zach Braff (JD), Donald Faison (Turk), Sarah Chalke (Elliot), Judy Reyes (Carla), John C. McGinley (Dr. Cox), Neil Flynn (The Janitor) and Ken Jenkins (Kelso), while recurring players included Christa Miller (Jordan), Robert Maschio (The Todd) and the late Sam Lloyd (Ted). Season 9 additions included Bishé (Lucy), Michael Mosley (Drew), Dave Franco (Cole) and Eliza Coupe (Denise, who was first seen in Season 8). Who is returning for the Scrubs revival? The Scrubs revival has locked in its leading man: TVLine reported on May 21 that Zach Braff closed his deal to reprise Dr. John Dorian (aka JD) in Season 10. Then on July 10, once the revival was officially ordered at ABC, Donald Faison (Turk) and Sarah Chalke‘s (Elliot) returns were also confirmed. Additionally, TVLine hears that talks are underway with a number of OG Scrubs supporting players — Judy Reyes (Nurse Carla Espinosa) and John C. McGinley (Dr. Perry Cox), among them — to recur. “My hope would be that we establish where everybody from [the original show] is,” series creator Bill Lawrence previously told TVLine, “whether they’re still with us at the hospital or not.” That also includes Neil Flynn (The Janitor) and Ken Jenkins (Dr. Bob Kelso): “I hope Ken [who is now 84] is able to come play with us a little bit. He’s a little older, but we love him so much.” Who is not returning for the Scrubs revival? “The only bummer [about doing the revival], obviously, is that Sam Lloyd [who played hospital lawyer Ted Buckland] was such a huge part of the show, and he passed on [in 2020],” Lawrence has said. But other than Lloyd, you can expect to see all your favorites back. Lawrence has even said that, unlike Roseanne and Will & Grace, which found clever ways to erase their divisive finales from series canon once they were revived, Scrubs Season 10 will stay true to the developments of Season 9, which shifted gears (and locations) and focused on a quartet of newbies, including Kerry Bishé (Lucky Bennett), Michael Mosley (Drew Suffin), Dave Franco (Cole Aaronson) and Season 8 holdover Eliza Coupe (Denise Mahoney). That means the door is open for any (or all) of them to make guest appearances. “I’m not against seeing those people, and I think it would be fun to have one of them zip by,” the EP said in December. “But that [season], if you remember, was supposed to be a med school, and those people that were going through it would then go off into the world and land as physicians in places here, there, everywhere. What I think we will really be focusing on is a place where some of our core regulars” — AKA the legacy cast. There will, however, be a major change behind the scenes: Although Lawrence, who is under an overall agreement with Warner Bros., struck a deal that allows him to shepherd the 20th Television-produced revival, he will not serve as showrunner. What is the plot of the Scrubs revival? Braff has said that the Scrubs revival will aim to capture the same humor and heart as the original run, but showcase a version of JD who has been “beaten down by the system” over the last 15 years — an idea that Lawrence also expressed during a recent interview with TVLine: “The hardest part is that Zach and Donald have aged,” the EP said with a laugh. “People still have that affinity, and love, for that goofy youthfulness — it’s why the T-Mobile commercials work so well. But if I saw two guys in their late 40s/early 50s doing ‘World’s Most Giant Doctor,’ and carrying each other around all the time, I would go, ‘What the f–k is going on,’ you know? To see what that [friendship] looks like at their age, and [take] a comedic look at what medicine has become since those kids started out as interns, and see how our people would look at it, deal with it, and try to remain optimistic,” is their main objective. “I will tell you that the people I based the original characters on, like the real JD [Dr. Jonathan Doris], is still the medical advisor on the show, and still a cardiologist and a heart surgeon in L.A.,” Lawrence revealed. “But the real Elliot [Doris’ wife, Dr. Dolly Klock] is no longer in medicine because it got to be too much for her, and she wanted to do other things that are equally as philanthropic. She does this education thing for adolescents and kids now. So, to look at how the system not only changed, but how it has beaten some of these people down, and how they retain their optimism with a new wave of young characters, has really been fun.” Meanwhile, unlike Season 9, which saw JD pass the proverbial torch to a new protagonist, Lucy, a hypothetical 10th season will be told exclusively from Dr. Dorian’s perspective, and the story will “start with JD and Turk.” Here’s the official logline for Season 10, courtesy of ABC: JD and Turk scrub in together for the first time in a long time. Medicine has changed, interns have changed, but their bromance has stood the test of time. Characters new and old navigate the waters of Sacred Heart with laughter, heart and some surprises along the way. When does the Scrubs revival premiere? Scrubs Season 10 will premiere during the 2025-26 TV season; an exact premiere date has not yet been announced. TVLine will update this page as we learn more.

Probably to give seafoam more stuff to complain about...

Some new steroid that isn't on the banned list or technology that will cause it pop...

Proxy for GuardBum... 1.08 - Cody Bellinger, OF, NYY

I am old school... I don't care about hit speed, launch angle, etc... I just look at the normal numbers... He is 2-24 in his last seven days and 4-40 for the month... I don't care how he is acting the next at bat or in the dugout, the guy is 22 and this awful start will weigh on the best players that are just starting out...

I know you have a hard-on for this guy, but he really needs to go back to AAA... .140/.196/.264; 4 HR; 7 RBI in 138 PA? He might come out of it, but I would really think this is killing his young psyche...

I usually catch a couple of innings, but don't watch the entire game like I used to do...

I rarely watch the home run derby, probably won't watch tonight either...
