The new season will probably start the day after Labor Day (9/8), as it has in seasons past. Of course, everything is subject to change.

She was fired? I thought she quit. Hmmm...

Actually, it HAS become a yearly event!! 😳 2017 - Aisha for Eve 2018 - Julie for Carrie Ann 2019 - Sara for Marie 2020 - Marie for ?????

Yes, the 2013-15 American The Chase episodes are still being rerun on GSN weekdays at 3 PM EST. In fact, today's rerun was the episode with James!

Well, Marie's tenure sure didn't last long. I hope Brigitte gets her spot - and after that, no more cast changes for awhile. Replacing a co-host has become an almost yearly event, going back to when Aisha left in 2017.

Both Jimmy and Seth's shows are off at the end of August/beginning of September and come back the day after Labor Day. They've done it this way the past few years, so it's nothing unusual. Plus, I'm sure Seth and his crew are busy getting the studio ready. Will the 8G Band be back in studio, albeit social distanced, like The Roots?

I just found old bit (June 1995) from Jay Leno's Tonight Show. Cybill really got into this!

Your list is perfect except for one thing...you forgot to add Manfred!!

Coronavirus wreaks havoc again, this time in the AL West: https://www.google.com/amp/s/sports.yahoo.com/amphtml/as-astros-game-postponed-after-positive-covid-19-test-on-oakland-151437651.html A very good friend of my family's has a son-in-law who is a trainer for the A's. According to what he told her, the A who tested positive got it from a family member. That's all I've got.

Unfortunately, Thom Brennaman is not going away quietly: https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.bizjournals.com/cincinnati/news/2020/08/21/brennaman-issues-second-apology.amp.html

Just after being suspended from the Reds, Thom Brennaman was let go from FOX's NFL broadcasting: https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/29705200/thom-brennaman-pulled-fox-nfl-games-using-anti-gay-slur-air-reds-contest%3fplatform=amp

It's the Mets. I just heard it on my local news.

So you're the one who stole my Geritol and Polygrip, you whippersnapper!! 😉

Some details about the Indians' team meeting on Friday have come to light, with at least one player threatening to opt out if the two disgraced pitchers were immediately activated onto the active roster. Oh, to have been a fly on the wall at that meeting... https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.sportingnews.com/us/amp/mlb/news/zach-plesac-and-mike-clevinger-deserve-every-bit-of-their-teammates-anger/gj6t4e4gvykp1471st38e3w6x

Since the Cardinals and Marlins are the teams with players who went out and got infected, they should forfeit the games that cannot be rescheduled. They made the choice to be stupid and selfish, so they should suffer the consequences.

Bad news for the Reds: https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.espn.com/mlb/story/_/id/29665016/cincinnati-reds-player-tests-positive-coronavirus%3fplatform=amp

Now this is awesome. Good for the Indians brass - they wanted to send a message, and they did!! https://www.bleachernation.com/cubs/2020/08/14/wow-cleveland-is-optioning-out-mike-clevinger-and-zach-plesac-to-their-alternate-site/

Oh, and he's not wearing a seatbelt. What a shock!!

Oh, I never believed for a second that he wrote the statement. Another stupid thing? Driving while looking into the camera and not on the road!!! 😠😠😠😠😠 https://deadspin.com/bozo-zach-plesac-lists-all-the-rules-he-broke-then-bla-1844720927?fbclid=IwAR1lKAQxZNEt_t6xKsy-eMJUlewrImSz_TwAzK0dnjXcTyQ80eUsCdULXho

I guess Zach's never heard of President Lincoln's famous quote, "Better to remain silent and be thought a fool than to speak and to remove all doubt". 😣😠 https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.espn.com/mlb/story/_/id/29655827/indians-zach-plesac-says-mike-clevinger-unfairly-cast-bad-people-covid-violation%3fplatform=amp

That's the scary thing. Still, I don't think anyone is surprised.

Yeah, I forgot to add that I would also want a Jacuzzi and sauna in my room. A girl can dream, right? 😁

Al announced the other day that he will be undergoing a complete shoulder replacement surgery: https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/news/al-roker-undergoing-total-replacement-shoulder-surgery-1306785

Here's an op-ed about the situation - and Frankie Lindor and Adam Plutko (who started in place of Clevinger last night and will again this weekend in Detroit) were both blunt and eloquent in their statements to the press. Here's the link: https://www.letsgotribe.com/2020/8/12/21364737/indians-can-survive-without-mike-clevinger I can only speak for myself, but you could sequester me in a five-star hotel with unlimited room service, Netflix, internet and king-size bed and there would be no complaints from me!! Heck, I've heard of some players who take their fan mail with them on road trips and answer it during lulls. That's a great way to pass the time, and it's a great way to give back to the fans. Too bad they didn't think about that before sneaking out of the hotel.

It's great to see Tito back in the Tribe dugout tonight. It's not so great to see him lift his mask and spit. *SIGH*
