Looking forward to Thursday

The MLB trade dealine is this Thursday and as far as I'm concerned, it can't come any sooner.

The alleged "insiders" in the media continue to plaster the internet with stories about the Red Sox looking to make huge moves.

One has them trading prospects to the Rays for Yandy Diaz. Another has them trading David Hamilton to the Yankees which, based on the history of trades with the yankees, could be the best thing for the Red Sox. Still another has Duran being traded to make room in the outfield.

You know what I wish? I wish they would shut up about things they have no real knowledge of which is what is going to happen on Thursday when the trade deadling arrives.

Of course, on Friday they will start talking about how bad the Red Sox did on either the trades or lack of trades they made at the deadline...

All I know for sure is that right now, the Red Sox are doing pretty good. They are 5-5 over their last ten games against the best teams in the league and that is not bad at all.

I am also not someone who thinks they know more than the Cora or Breslow and to be honest with you, I think most what they do is good for the team. The Devers trade for Hicks has turned out to be good for the Red Sox and not so good for the Giants who are 2-8 in their last ten games.

I have a dilemma of sorts. The Onion has gone in whole hog on the Trump / Epstein pedophile documents and I don't know which headline to post.

I guess I'll just post them all...

• Trump: 'We Could Argue All Day About Who Is Or Isn't A Child Rapist'


• Trump Invites Jeffrey Epstein On Stage To Explain There No Conspiracy


• Trump Urges Supporters To Move On From Societal Disdain For Pedophilia


• Trump: 'I'm Not In These Nonexistent Files Concocted To Destroy Me'

I love The Onion.

Day one of our potential heat wave:

According to this online calculator, a temp of 95° and a relative humidity of 58% gives a dew point of 77.9°

I have no idea what any of that means but the weather dweebs sure like to talk about it. As for me, I don't like heat and humidity. It can either be hot or it can be humid but not both.
