Does a perfect game against the 2023 Athletics have an asterisk?

With historic sporting events many more people always say they attended than fans who were actually in attendance. Tonight Yankees’ Domingo German pitched a perfect game against Oakland A’s. No doubt years from now at least 1,000 people will claim they were at the Coliseum.

For all this discussion of MLB expansion, imagine possibilities for new teams if baseball operated like soccer’s Premier League. Both the A’s and Rockies would probably have been relegated by now.

Mets owner Steve Cohen “All is not lost yet, but it’s getting late. If they don’t get better, we have decisions to make at the trade deadline….we’re preparing all contingencies.” Translation, NY might dump everyone & spend another small fortune on free agents in the offseason.

President Biden gave substantive speech today about “Bidenomics” & how his adminstration has helped & will help Americans. Seems to have gotten about as much attention from many in media as town hall from anti-vaxxer whose main claim to fame is his last name.

Apparently Ron Deathsantis says if elected President he’ll, among other Departments, get rid of the Department of Commerce. Which includes the National Weather Service.

So instead of sharpie-ing away hurricanes he’ll just pretend they don’t exist?

Now it’s big story President Biden using CPAP machine for sleep apnea? WTF? I’m in early 60s & sometimes think half my friends, some younger, use CPAPs. It’s a common device that fixes a problem affecting perhaps 10% of Americans. Wonder how many members of Congress use CPAPs. Hey media, try asking.

And important non-political PSA as a travel agent since CPAPs are in news. FAA doesn’t allow airlines to count CPAP machines packed in their own cases, so you can bring it in addition to your regular carry-ons & don’t have to check bags if the machine alone would put you over.

CNN talking about President Biden’s low approval ratings on the economy. Same CNN that has made most negative economic stories “Breaking news,” and slants good jobs and housing numbers as inflationary. Can’t remember their last story on falling prices.

Wait, now Trump says that audio tape was just “bravado.” So just “Bedminster locker room banter?”

–

Apparently even many Republican Senators are furious over Tommy Tuberville’s blanket holds on military appointees. So uh, since age has become a talking point, why is no one saying that Mitch McConnell, 80, is too old to rein in dangerously extreme members of his GOP caucus?
