Verdugo is the best

Last night, the Red Sox beat the Blue Jays 6-5 when Verdugo stepped up to the plate in the ninth inning with the score tied and hit a game-winning home run.

This is like the third time in the last week or so that Verdugo has driven in the game-winning run. Last night was a homerun, the night before it was a run-scoring single and a few days ago it was a homerun.

Remember yesterday when I posted the comparison between Verdugo and Betts? Well, he now has more homeruns than Betts so he is playing better baseball than Betts in all categories.

Yes sir, the Red Sox made out pretty well in that trade.

I would also like you to remember the ALEast standings graphic I posted yesterday that had the Yankees tied with the Red Sox but listed in last place. Well, as of last night, they are no longer tied for last place:

The Yankees are now all alone in last place, a full game behind the Red Sox.

Look, I know that the standings are going to change drastically as the season rolls on but I'm going to enjoy this step-up in the standings the Red Sox have taken.

Houck is on the mound for tonight's game against the Blue Jays. First pitch is at 7:10


Goofy Joe is still President and the Fed is still raising rates faster than The Dog reaching for a snack.

The other day, the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation siezed the First Republic Bank just as it was about to fail and turned it over to J.P. Morgan Bank.

The federal government has apparently gone into the business of creating banks that are too big to fail so that when they eventually collapse because of all the tinkering the Fed is doing, the government will have no choice but to bail them out.

Dear Republicans and/or Democrats - Please find someone to run for President that won't screw up the economy or tax us into the poor house. And make sure they understand that the first job of the federal government is to protect the borders of the United States.


I understand there will be some sort of fajita dish for dinner.
