They lost

Buehler actually had a good outing last night but the Phillies managedx to load the bases in the tenth and get a run across the plate to win the game.

Fortunately, everyone else in the wild card race lost yesterday so the Red Sox remain in the third slot.

Fitts will be on the mound tonight. First pitch is at 6:45.

Whenever The Very Stable Genius finds himeself the subject of a scandal of some sort, he immediately falls back on his well-worn and effective tactic of getting people to pay attention to something else. For instance, he posted this yesterday on his truthee thing:

In the most current iteration of felonious activity, Trump has been asked to fullfill his campaign promise and release the "Epstein client list". Since his Department of Justice is now claiming there is no list, all the cartoonists and memers are having a field day.

Here are some that made me smile:

Oh, and I bet a dollar that in the very near future, this woman will receive a presidential pardon and the minute she walks out of prison, she will loudly announce that there was no list of any kind.

In other Stable Genius news, he actually said this a few days ago:

Yes, Trump is attempting to claim that Powell was appointed by someone other than Trump. This means that Trump is either a liar or he is losing his mind.

Personally, I think he's both a liar and an old man who is losing his mind...
