Two losses.

The Patriots lost their final preseason game last night, getting beat 13-37 by the Browns.

Their next game will be on September 9^th when they go to Seattle to open their season against the Seahawks.

⧫
The more important loss was the Judges losing to the Astros last night. This means the Red Sox are once again only 2 games behind the Judges in the ALEast.

Fangraphs is now giving the Red Sox a 98.5% chance of making the playoffs.

The hope-o-meter is high that the Red Sox will win this series against the Judges and overtake them in the standings.

First pitch is at 7:15 and Sandoval has the start. Hopefully he goes at least 6 innings because this 4-game stretch is gonna be a grind and the bullpen is going to get used heavily. Particularly on Saturday with the double-header.

I'm pleased to inform you that Dementia Donny has once again discovered AI.

Here he is giving Dolly Parton, a dead person, a tour of the White House.

That would be the same Dolly Parton who turned him down twice when he invited her to the White House to receive the Presidential Medal of Freedom. On the other hand, she also turned down Biden. Appareantly she kept her political beliefs to herself.

Here we see that he has used his mugshot to portray himself as "THE GREATEST" when in fact he is not. He's also not "THE AVERAGEST" or the "THE MEDIOCOREST".

The guy surely does love himself.

• I'm no financial genius but seems to me that higher interest rates might cause businesses to slow which will raise unemployment.



• This is not looking good for the Patriots.

Sometimes they lose

The Red Sox lost to the Marlins last night.

Since both the Rays and the Judges won last night, the Red Sox have fallen back to 6 games behind the Rays and 2½ behind the Judges.

They are off tonight and tomorrow they start 4-game series against the Judges. It's a 4-game series because they are playing a double-header on Saturday. That will be a makeup of a rainout from June 6^th.

There may not be any baseball but there is football.

The Patriots will play their final preseason game against the Browns tonight.

Kickoff is at 8:00 and the game is being streamed on Prime. Since I get Prime, I will be able to fullfill my sportings needs tonight.

⧫
In all honesty, this worries me.

The Red Sox started winning games and became a .500+ team when their "big guys" all went down with injuries and several players got called up from AAA Worcester.

What makes anyone think the Red Sox will continue to be a winning team once those guys come back and the other guys get sent back down?

I have nothing against Story, Anthony or Falefa but I really like Sogard, Seigler and Gaspar. It will be a shame if they send those guys down to AAA and the Red Sox start to lose again.

I'm just getting used to them being a winning team...

Eleven innings

The Red Sox beat the Marlins last night but it took them 11 innings. And for the record, I watched all 11 innings.

Both teams struggled to score runs and by the 6^th inning, they were in a 2-2 tie. It stayed that way until the 10^th when both teams scored one more run each and the went into the 11^th in a 3-3 tie.

In the 11^th inning, the Red Sox managed to load the bases and Duran came up with 1 out. The 2^nd pitch he saw was a 80mph sinker that he sent into the upper deck for a grand slam home run. This gave the Red Sox a 7-3 lead and a 5-game winning streak.

Since the Judges lost last night, the Red Sox are now only 1½ games behind them in the ALEast

They play their final game against the Marlins this evening. First pitch is at 6:40 and Gray has the start.

This is the thing I don't understand about military people that support Trump. He thinks you are losers and he shits on your service.

Personally, Trump lost me the day he insulted John McCain, a man with more honor and ethics in his little fingernail than Trump has in his entire bloated body.

Four in a row

The Red Sox are on a 4-game winning streak and they are now only 2½ games behind the Judges.

Last night's game was a great game. Suarez did okay but the bullpen was the star. Also, the Marlins bullpen kinda imploded. None of their pitchers could find the strike zone.

Tonight they play game 2 of their series against the Marlins. First pitch is at 6:40 and Tolle has the start.

Dementia Donny is threatning to rename Lake Ontario to Lake America.

How long before the Canadians threaten to rename Lake Erie to Lake Canada?

He also appears to be scheming to get the newest aircraft carrier, the USS Doris Miller, renamed to the USS Trump.

He is the world's largest narcissistic baby...

• Furry Winged Humanoids would be a fantastic name for a 1990s punk rock band.



• There is a very real possibility that this may not be satire.

Well, here we go again

Dementia Donny is once again threatening Canada and this time the Candians are not rolling over. If they cut off the supplies of nickel, potash, natural gas and electricity, we are going to be in a world of hurt.

Nickel is used in a lot of military applications. Without it, the US military will have a difficult time keeping up with all the bombs & missiles the President of Peace (PP) wants to drop on Iran (and a few other places).

Potash is used in the fertilizer industry. Without it, we will have poor crop yeilds and possible crop failures.

New York and a lot of New England are big users of electricity supplied by Canada.

And last, but not least, almost all of the natural gas used in New York and New England comes from Canada.

This is going to hurt all of us in the northeast which is a place that Trump does not care about because we are blue states and he hates blue states.

I cannot say this loud enough and often enough:

HANG UP THE DAMNED PHONE!

If someone calls you with a story about a problem you need to fix or a situation a relative is in or maybe even a legal problem you personally have, hang up the phone. Do not ask them any questions, do not tell them anything at all.

It's so easy to just hang up the phone so go ahead and hang up the phone.

If they call you back, hang up the phone again.

If you have a way to block the number they are calling from, do that.

If you can't block the number, either ignore the call or just pickup and immediately hang up.

If you are concerned, call your local police department non-emergency number and ask to speak with the supervisor on duty. Explain to them what just happened.
