They are below .500

They lost, again, and they are now below .500.

The Boston "experts" are all beating up on Bloom to see who can find out what he's going to do about the team. Specifically, they are all asking him if he is going to be a "seller" or a "buyer" before August 2nd, which is the trade deadline

The one thing I know about baseball executives is they never, ever, tell the media what they are going to do until they do it. They do not give away their plan because the worst thing you can do when you are negotiating with the other teams is to announce your plans.

If they win tonight, they will have split the four-game series with the Guardians. If they lose, well, that will suck and they will be even further below .500 than they are today.

To my limited knowledge, Pelosi is not the President of the United States and she is not tasked with any aspect of our nation's foreign policy. Too be honest with you, as far as I am concerned she is a crazy old lady who should not be allowed out of whatever office it is she has in California.

If she gets us into a diplomatic spat with China, I'm going to have a problem with that. Someone in the White House needs to tell her to shut up and sit down. She should concern herself with her constituents and their needs, not the people of Taiwan.

I'm getting sick and tired of people going around poking hornets nests with a short stick just because they think they should. Particularly when those hornets could turn around and attack someone other than the poker.
