They are at .500

With last nights 4-1 loss to the Rays, the Red Sox are now at .500 and a full twelve games behind the Rays, in last place in the ALEast.

Today they are in Cleveland to start a three-game series against the Guardians. Paxton is on the mound.

They need to start hitting the damned ball and scoring runs. It doesn't matter how good the pitcher pitches if the hitters don't hit and the runners don't step on home plate.

They need to win this series because as soon as this is done, they go to New York for a three-game series against the Yankees.

You know all the bitching, complaining, bad-mouthing and general assholiness the PGA has done over the past year about LIV golf? Well today they came out and said, "Just Kidding! You LIV guys are a great bunch of great guys and we are happy to have you as part of our giant corporation."

It's amazing how quickly a business (yes, the PGA is a business) can do a 180 once they realize that there is a lot of money to be made. I'm guessing the House of Saud made some pretty substantial monetary promises to the PGA governing body.

Christy is going to announce that he is running for president and I really hope he doesn't revert back to sucking up to Trump.

I really hope he turns his nastiness on full blast and aims the shit-hose directly at Trump because if there is one thing Christy is good at, it's being a first-class dick. He's even better at it than Trump so this could turn out to be one of the funniest presidential races in history.

Of course, he also knows how to suck up because at one point in the Trump presidency, I was pretty certain that Christy was Trump's piss boy...

The Professor has once again made her world famous Baked Stuffed Shrimp casserole. This means I am a happy guy.

While I enjoy that and hopefully a Red Sox win, you can enjoy these:

• Key phrase in this story: "He faces charges including armed robbery with a deadly weapon..."
  How the hell is that a "deadly weapon"?



• If you think your biggest problem in life is that you are uncool, grow up and face the fact that you are an adult. Adults aren't cool.



• It's about ducking time.



• If you are thinking about taking a trip to England, I suggest you keep your putter covered.



• I like baseball but even I wouldn't do this.
