Two losses.

The Patriots lost their final preseason game last night, getting beat 13-37 by the Browns.

Their next game will be on September 9^th when they go to Seattle to open their season against the Seahawks.

The more important loss was the Judges losing to the Astros last night. This means the Red Sox are once again only 2 games behind the Judges in the ALEast.

Fangraphs is now giving the Red Sox a 98.5% chance of making the playoffs.

The hope-o-meter is high that the Red Sox will win this series against the Judges and overtake them in the standings.

First pitch is at 7:15 and Sandoval has the start. Hopefully he goes at least 6 innings because this 4-game stretch is gonna be a grind and the bullpen is going to get used heavily. Particularly on Saturday with the double-header.

I'm pleased to inform you that Dementia Donny has once again discovered AI.

Here he is giving Dolly Parton, a dead person, a tour of the White House.

That would be the same Dolly Parton who turned him down twice when he invited her to the White House to receive the Presidential Medal of Freedom. On the other hand, she also turned down Biden. Appareantly she kept her political beliefs to herself.

Here we see that he has used his mugshot to portray himself as "THE GREATEST" when in fact he is not. He's also not "THE AVERAGEST" or the "THE MEDIOCOREST".

The guy surely does love himself.

• I'm no financial genius but seems to me that higher interest rates might cause businesses to slow which will raise unemployment.



• This is not looking good for the Patriots.
