This and tariffs against Brazilian goods because Trump doesn’t like how one of their politicians is being treated by their judicial system. There is no connection between actions and consequences.
The government is getting involved with cheese snacks now? Unless its to eat some, can't imagine that this will end well. Should puffs vs crunchy style even be a governmental concern?
I finished dinner last night and turned on the tv to check on Sunday Night Baseball. I came across a replay of the Big Game on ACC network so got sucked in to watching.
The Nats traded much of their mediocre bullpen at the deadline. The result - Brewers swept them over the weekend scoring 38 runs on 56 hits in a three game series.
MARYSVILLE, Calif. -- For the fifth time this season, the Ballers are winners of five in a row. Their latest five-game win streak comes against their rivals up north, the Yuba-Sutter High Wheelers.
With their 7-4 victory on Sunday night, the Ballers became the first team in the Pioneer League to get to 50 wins on the year. For reference, Oakland didn't reach the half-century mark until Aug. 24 last year.
Looking to take yet another series against a western rival, the Athletics faced off against the Arizona Diamondbacks today at Sutter Health Park in West Sacramento.
Jack Perkins got the start today against Eduardo Rodriguez for the D-backs. Perkins escaped with just a threat in the first but didn’t have the same luck in the second. Walks and singles bit him as he walked in the first run with bases loaded and then a sac fly and single made the score 3-0.
The San Francisco Giants liked what they saw yesterday…
I mean, the Mets played some really good baseball against them. They were a nuisance, pills in the box, working long at-bats, rolling singles through gaps, capitalizing with runners on base. Walks and hits piled up to a dozen runs — the Giants saw that, and probably said Hey, they looked like they were having fun, we should do something like that.
Scoring runs was a Sisyphean effort for both teams all weekend at Steinbrenner Field, and Sunday was the lowest-scoring game of a weekend where the temperatures were high and batting averages low.
The Dodgers scored single runs in the sixth, seventh, and ninth innings, which was enough to beat the Rays 3-0 on Sunday in Tampa. All three games of the series were shutouts, with two of the wins by Los Angeles.

Cheeto Government
US government now says that states won't get disaster relief from the feds if they have any boycotts of Israel going on.

Seriously, what do we even get out of this "alliance" with Israel anymore? Seems like we have to pledge more loyalty to them than they do to us.

Nice
71 degrees on an August afternoon in Atlanta- NICE!
No 2 must be loving it there right now without the humidity.
Much of July had dew points in the upper 70s. Last few days it’s down to mid 50s and feels great.

The ballers winning percentage is .757. Which means they are on a 122 wins record for an MLB 162 game season.
