Oilers 3 -Stars 1.

Which puts Edmonton one game away from the NHL finals.

One step closer to a Canadian team winning the Stanley Cup for the first time since 1993.

(Side note if you are lookng for a reason to root for a Canadian team. The country has very tight laws about visitors convicted of crimes, even misdemeanors. But felons are generally banned. So the country is a potential vacation Trump free zone.)

Was and remain a Barry Bonds fan. But while I booed him getting walked, I also understood why any smart team would do it. Having said that, why does ANYONE pitch to Aaron Judge right now with a base open?

Hate to see SF Giants shortstops struggling. And yes, I miss Brandon Crawford. Or what Crawford used to be. But with St. Louis Cardinals in 2024 entering tonight Crawford is hitting .097 on the season – 3-for 31.

Something we can get bipartisan agreement on? SO tired of hearing from Major League Baseball announcers “it’s a challenging strike zone tonight.”

There is only ONE strike zone, whatever drama queen umpires want to say. Time for robot umps, or at least challenges.

President Biden today was talking about a possible roadmap towards a lasting cease-fire in Gaza A roadmap that no doubt his administration helped negotiate. It got a bit of coverage. But competence isn’t clickbait.

So Trump & supporters claiming he can’t be treated fairly in New York court. Fine. so let Donald stop trying to delay his trial in Florida, where he feels beloved. Tell Judge Cannon to start asap. If he’s innocent & gets acquitted, THEN he can scream “Witch Hunt.” Problem solved

Give me a break. Trump was convicted of falsifying records to interfere with an election. But it doesn’t matter what it was. If he had just been convicted of stealing and selling classified documents, Donald’s acolytes would still attack the judge and verdict. It’s A Cult.

JD. Vance calls Trump’s 34 felony convictions “A paperwork violation.” Presumably Vance, who wants to be vice president, would consider Donald’s stealing and possibly selling America’s classified documents also to be “paperwork violations?”

Some experts – “Trumps’s advanced age might be a factor in not sentencing him to prison.” We shouldn’t share that… it would be very embarrassing for Donald Trump, who turns 78 in a couple weeks, to escape prison because he is elderly.

–

So far the only negative comment from a GOP Senator about Trump guilty verdict was Lisa Murkowski who said “a Republican nominee without this baggage would have a clear path to victory.” Bill Cassidy, who I had hopes for, said the verdict was wrong.

Anyone seen Mitt Romney?

Meanwhile, seems like this should be a bigger story: “Google said it was scaling down the use of AI-generated answers in some search results, after the tech made high-profile errors including telling users to put glue on their pizza and saying Barack Obama was Muslim.”
