The Mets and Yanks are not dead. The Brewers may be. Max Scherzer is hurt, the MLBPA joins the AFL-CIO, O's drama, a funny apology, more gambling content is coming, mask capitulation, and Big Country.
The NL East is tied, the NL Wild Card race got wild, a playoff team may want to tank, there's more on the special master ruling, I texted Biden, and we talk Seinfeld, thrill rides, Bowie and NFTs
The Mets didn't lose, Trout and Ohtani didn't disappoint, Aaron Boone tempts fate, the Orioles are playing meaningful September games, and I talk about Democracy, cats, England, Dylan, and Florida

Tony La Russa goes on medical leave, MLB is going to Mexico, the O's call up a top prospect, bad stadiums, unearned second chances, indicting Trump, and saying goodbye to a friend
Death, taxes, and Framber Valdez, tasteless jokes, the Yankees 415th soccer deal, transparent corruption, cringeworthy cultural insensitivity, The Monkees, and 1980s Cold War paranoia.
Big flies, a big injury, a top prospect, continuity in Boston, bigtime newspapers which want you to gamble, another celebrity sleaze, a fantastic sounding job, and it's time to get Weird.

A weird new schedule, Jeff Luhnow being a slime ball, some questionable merch, student loan relief, large filing cabinets, a city covered by a dome, and a beautiful sunset
