“What we really need during a tense tied pitchers’ duel World Series game is a Jonas Brothers concert” said no baseball fan ever.

Meanwhile Game 1 could be the high water mark for the Blue Jays… or it could be the first win in an upset series. But Blake Snell signed 2 yr, $62 million contract w/ SF Giants in early 2024, pitching all of 20 games then skipping his last start before opting out & signing w/ Dodgers for 5 yrs, $182 million So World Series game 1 could not have been more fun for the Giants.
–
From World Series Game 1 “Dodgers last seven starting pitchers had combined to allow 5 runs. When all was said & done on Saturday night, Snell himself had allowed 5.”
Of course as an SF Giants fan I get it, LA could win the next 4 games. (And won the second.) You take your fun when you can.

Yes, Yoshinobu Yamamoto pitched another postseason complete game in game 2.
The Dodgers are paying him the highest contract ever for a pitcher only – $325 million over 12 years – over $27 million a year
And yet Blake Snell, Tyler Glasnow AND Shohei Ohtani are all making more in 2025. Over $32 million for Snell, Glasgow and Ohtani over $28 million

Trump doesn’t joke. So have to assume that he’s serious about running in 2028. But a big question, what loophole for a third term can he find that wouldn’t allow him to be challenged by Barack Obama?

Meanwhile, ICYMI -Now US is sending an aircraft carrier to Latin America So the President who claims he deserves a Noble Peace Prize now wants to start MORE wars to distract from the Epstein Files?

GOP Sen.Lankford questioned Trump’s administration’s strikes on Venezuelan vessels w/out approval of Congress. “Administration needs to give insight into Congress. If this was happening w/ this level of insight under Biden administration, I’d be apoplectic,”
So why ISN’T he apoplectic now?

Trump has no reason to send election monitors to California. And about 80% of the state votes by mail.
Except CA has rejected him soundly three times. DonOLD wants revenge, he wants his private army to harass and arrest Californians & at least he hopes to intimidate people so that they stay home.

In NJ, DOJ will monitor polling in populous & immigrant-heavy Passaic County. In California, DOJ will monitor LA, Orange, Fresno & Kern Counties; 17 million people including most heavily Latino areas of state.
Will ICE be with them? Trial run for 2026?
So Trump’s ICE now is arresting immigrant workers in blue cities. And many MAGA are laughing.
Pretty damn sure that many many Republicans employ undocumented folks too. At some point the numbers Stephen Miller wants mean going after them as well.
