They need a win...

The Red Sox lost last night. The problem is they lost to the Pirates, a team that isn't all that good.

The wildcard race in the AL is heating up with 4 teams tied for the 3^rd slot. That means those 4 teams are going to play their hearts out to gain ground over the others as well as the Red Sox.

They still hold a 5½ game lead but they need to start winning on a regular basis if they want to hold on to that lead.

They also need to win a regular basis if they want to overtake the Judges. They are currently separated by 2½ games.

Gray has the start tonight and first pitch is at 7:15.

Things got done today and I did not spend a lot of time surfing the news sites. That means I don't really know what Trump did today but it's a pretty good bet it was either arrogant, self-centered or incredibly stupid.

I'll read news tomorrow.

Preseason tie

Last nights Patriots / Colts game ended in a 13-13 tie which is fine since it was a pre-season game.

I thought DeVito did a pretty good, completing 13 of his 22 passes.

Borregales, however, did not have a good game. He missed 3 of his 5 field goal attempts. He needs to do better.

This made me laugh:

Finally, a win

The Red Sox lost last night but they won this afternoon.

There was one bit of bad news this afternoon when the Red So xannounced that Whitlock went on the IL with elbow inflammation.

So now they travel to Pittsburgh where tomorrow they will start a 3-game series against the Pirates.

Since Pittsburgh is in the same time zone as I am, I will be able to watch those games.

Yes, I'm watching the Patriots play preseason football against the Colts.

DeVito is the quarterback for this game.

4 game losing streak

The Red Sox have lost the last four games and are now a full 3 games behind the Judges.

I refuse to panic and the hope-o-meter is still positive but it is a bit of a kick in the ass to see them drop after they worked so hard to overcome the beginning of their season.

Tonight is game 3 of their 4-game series against the Blue Jays and Suarez has the start. First pitch is at 7:07.

My back is still not in great shape.

This getting old shit kinda sucks...

I don't care for Mark Kelly's politics but he is an honorable man.

He made me smile with this tweeter:

Trump and Hegseth were together on a small jet while everyone else was unknowingly on the giant target plane.

Cowards indeed.

AI aint intelligent

I am sick and tired of hearing about AI and how it's going to change the world.

The last time I heard this much hype about anything it was when the web was invented and everyone who know how to code some simple html was getting rich because investors were certain it was the best thing ever. Then the bubble popped and the financial shit hit the fan. All the small startups that the investors had founded suddenly went belly up everyone lost their money.

With AI, it's no longer just rich investors losing money, it'll be cities and towns being damaged by all the data centers cropping up everywhere. When this bubble pops, those centers will go derelict and the communities will be stuck with giant vacant buildings that make all the vacant Sears buildings look good.

You need to understand that AI is really just a search engine that is sucking up all of the data it can from social media sites and then applying that data to whatever questions you ask of it.

If you carefully read what I just wrote you will see that AI is nothing more than the collective intellect of social media.

In my opinion, on a scale of "moron" to "genius", the total collective IQ of social media is somewhere between "moron" and "idiot". That means AI is basing most of it's data on the opinions of idiots.

Then again, what the hell do I know...

⧫
I'm going to watch some baseball and hopefully the Red Sox overcome their two recent losses and win this upcoming series.

The Judges are off tonight so if the Red Sox win, they will move back to one game behind them in the ALEast.
