Trade night

August 3, 2026

ESPN/ Baseball tonight reporting:

Of the top five pitchers with best ERAs since 2023… four of them are on the Dodgers now.

Anyone still think there won’t be a lockout?

Meanwhile, the SF Giants traded six players who other teams thought well enough of to get some highly regarded prospects.

Does beg one question though. With SIX major league players considered attractive to contenders, why were the 2026 Giants so bad?

So while Todd Blanche seems to have convinced GOP he won’t let Trump pay off J6ers, are we just going to forget about the fact that he got Ghislaine Maxwell, convicted sex trafficker. who participated in the rape of children. transfered to a minimum security prison with puppies?

GOP Senators John Cornyn & Thom Tillis, who had threatened to block Todd Blanche’s confirmation as AG, now support his nomination.

–

“Pressed by reporters on why he trusted that Blanche would not double back on the agreement once confirmed, Senator Thom Tillis replied, “Because I believe he’s an honorable man.”

Funeral services for satire are pending.

And the question – as this is written before 3p pacific time.

Who else might the Dodgers buy?

England now joining Wales in withdrawing support for FIFA President Gianni Infantino’s re-election bid.

Considering that FIFA is perhaps the most corrupt institution in sports – and it’s a crowded field – this could be a milestone event in #ETTD

State TV at its finest

This is an actual headline about Dear Leader on Fox News website:

“Media swore he couldn’t play 18 holes, now critics face what he says is his 40th title win”

So the LA Dodgers gettingTarik Skubal, with his $32 billion salary, on top of their half billion dollar payroll.

If the pro-salary cap side didn’t already have enough ammunition to shut baseball down after this season.

As a threatened boycott started by European nations spread and seemed likely to be nearly unanimous, FIFA President Infantino abandoned his plans to sell off the World Cup to an investment group including Jared Kushner.

His statement

“Having listened carefully to all the views, it has become clear that the project has created divisions of a nature that, regardless of the level of support, are no longer in the interest of the objective set out in the first place,” he said.

That’s a lot of words to say “I f*cked up.”

Will keep saying this

Mike Lindell getting so much publicity saying insane things as he runs for Governor.

While Amy Klobuchar’s real plans barely get media coverage.

Amy IS likely to win. But cumulative effect adds to many Americans thinking politicians are useless or worse.

So just how many times is Trump going to say he is ending the Iran war?

Dibs on “next week” in the Pirro firing pool.

Andy Beshear posted “Today Rand Paul wants to force an 85-year-old Dr. Anthony Fauci to address the American people but refuses to ask the same of 84-year-old Mitch McConnell.”

To be fair Mitch is probably busy catching up with Lindsey Graham And they are both getting accustomed to the heat.
