NL Division Leaders, Dodgers, Braves, Brewers – yeah, not too different than anyone expected.

(With the surprise that the Padres, Mets, and Cardinals have all been out of it for a long time.)

AL Division Leaders:

Twins, Mariners and Orioles?!

So what’s in the water over there?

–

But also in AL this little note “e” — Oakland Athletics – 38 – 93 Yes. “e.”

Wow. It takes some work with three wild card teams to be mathematically eliminated from the places with several days left in August.

–

Citing violations under former coach Herm Edwards, Arizona State has self-imposed a bowl ban for the 2023 season. That’s like the Oakland As self-imposing a playoff ban.

–

Meanwhile, ESPN just called Sundays’s SF Giants bottom of the 6th inning out of the “Cold case files.”

A sacrifice bunt, an intentional walk, a squeeze bunt for a hit (and RBI).

Yeah, how often do you see all of those three in a single game let alone a half inning?

Simone Biles, 26, just won her record EIGHTH U.S. gymnastic championship, The oldest woman (!?) ever to win the champiionship.

Congratulations to her on the incredible achievement. And for reminding us that taking care of your personal mental health can also pay dividends in your professional life.

Since he wants us to believe he is 215 pounds, and that he shot a 67 to win a Senior Club Championship, how long until Donald Trump complains that his need to campaign for President made him turn down an invitation to compete in the 2024 Masters?

Harrison Floyd, head of “Black Voices for Trump,” remains in jail without bail after the judge decided “you are at risk to commit additional felonies.” Uh, if that’s the criteria, why was Donald Trump himself given bail?

–

Donald Trump was fundraising again Sunday with the headline that “Biden is fundraising off my arrest.” Funeral services for satire are pending.

–

Ahead of a potential hurricane, Ron DeSantis canceled campaigning in S. Carolina & returned home to today to say there is no tolerance for racist violence in Florida. He should have added “but when if it happens, we’ll make sure no one can read about it in future history books.”

–

Chris Christie “Look, Hunter Biden’s not on the ballot. “Some of those voters who say the Hunter Biden thing matters but Donald Trump’s doesn’t, that’s just wishful thinking.” I hate it when Christie, a bully with an incredibly craven past, is the voice of reason.

Dana Bash asked VIvek Ramaswamy for clarification on his climate crisis position. His response — “Look at the quality of our buildings. Look at the quality of temperature controls. This is actually what has allowed human beings to die less of climate related disasters today than before.”

Is Vivek that stupid, or does he think we are?

Finally, no snark on this one. It’s so nice having a President!

“White supremacy has no place in America. We must refuse to live in country where Black families going to store or Black students going to school live in fear of being gunned down because of color of their skin. Hate must have no safe harbor. Silence is complicity.” President Joe Biden.
