A loss and a win

The Red Sox lost last night, getting beat 1-0 by the Judges.

The Red Won won this afternoon, beating the Judges 6-0.

Tonights game is at 7:15pm and Gamboa has the start. That means he will go as long as he can before they pull him and put Bello in.

In all honesty, I never have the warm fuzzies when Bello is pitching. Sometimes he's great and other times he sucks. I hope tonight is one of the good nights.

Dementia Donny has lied about pretty much everything he's ever talked about. The list of things he has lied about is longer than a New York City phone book. Things like, "The economy is doing great!" or "Gas prices are coming down!" or "I did not rape that woman!" and my personal favorite, "The election was stolen! Stolen I tell you!"

He is a pathological liar and he can't help himself. It's gotten to the point where if DD says one thing and Iran says something different, I believe Iran.

Having said that, if there is one time that I really hope he is telling the truth, it's this time.

If his administration was able to put together a 100 year deal with an oil producing nation that is not controlled by a religious dictatorship, it would be great. Particularly if it's good for both us and the Venezuelans.

Unfortunately, I don't believe him...

The little league world series is currently going on and, as is always the case, the network covering the games does a small profile on each player. As part of the profile, they usually ask a question like, "Who is your favorite baseball player?" or "What is your favorite movie?"

This year, the question they asked was, "What is your dream job?"

Daniel Huang of Canada gave the best answer:

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...

• Key load of bullshit in this story: "I don’t want to comment on that, but they’re not going to attack."

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...
