They won the series

The Red Sox beat the Mariners 3-2 last night, taking two of the three games in the series. Since everyone esle in the hunt for a wildcard slot also won, the standings remained the same with the Red Sox two games behind the Royals

Once again, Bello did "okay", facing 28 batters over 6⅓ innings. He gave up two earned runs and walked two but he struck out seven.

More importantly, the Red Sox made no errors last night.

They are off today while they travel to Arlington, TX where tomorrow they will start a three-game series against the Rangers. First pitch is at 8:05 and Crawford has the start.

I'm going to stop calling President Biden Goofy Joe just for today because he and his administration managed to secure the release of a bunch of people being held captive in Russia.

This, my friends, is a good thing. Those people did nothing wrong and the only reason Russia was holding them captive was to see if they could get a ransom for them.

Psycho Vlad is a nasty bastard who has people thrown out of windows because they disagree with him and I can only imagine the living conditions those people were being held in.

Good job Joe.

Now I'll wait to see what nasty, negative things Trump will have to say about this event because you know as well as I do that he can't let this go without a comment or ten. I'm sure he'll get around to it as soon as he finshes ranting and raging about Harris's race.
