The most telling moment came during a Feb. 13 conversation between Schoen and Mara at the Giants facility in East Rutherford.

Virginia fans of The Young and the Restless have asked where Elena Dawson (Brytni Sarpy) has been. She has not been seen or mentioned in Genoa City for quite a while. There is nothing online about Sarpy's status, and Y&R spoilers for next week do not mention the character, so fans wonder if she has been let go.

It wasn’t all that long ago when I was using this space to talk about how the Houston Astros had yet to really lift off this season and were spinning their wheels in the mud. With most of their rotation dropping left-and-right and their hitters underperforming while combined with the strong start from the Seattle Mariners, it was getting to the point where there were already rumors that the Astros could be considering selling once they got to the trade deadline. It was that rough.

The Astros are once again alive and well

Good Friday morning, TSFers! I hope everyone in the States had a lovely July 4th and that you have all your digits intact. There wasn’t a CF yesterday so I didn’t get to share it, but I always get a chuckle out of “4th of July morning, someone, somewhere doesn’t know this is the last time they’ll wake up with 10 fingers and 10 toes.” My apologies if any of you have been injured in fireworks accidents and find that joke insensitive. Don’t mess around with fireworks, folks.
