Any Reds fans? Dominican wonder kid Elly De La Cruz just wowed reporters with a press conference conducted entirely in English (and very creditable english as well) despite not being able to speak a word of it last season.
Yankees sweep Houston in Houston
The Brewers sweeping The Mets is my highlight. Rhys Hoskins getting them so riled up that theyāre pitching at his head, then he hits a two run homer. Heās such a gobshite 
. I wish he was still in Philly.
Iām living a few stops away from Citi Field and seeing the ticket prices plummet is another benefit. I paid $16 to watch them get fucked 5-0 by Detroit this eve, right by the away dugout. Tomorrow night, there are tickets going for $2.
Yankees sweeping Astros was also fun, but their lad Ronel Blanco just delivered a no hitter vs Toronto.

and yet to watch the Mariners play the Jays is $60+++
Is that in Seattle or Toronto? Iām planning on going Yankee Stadium for a couple games this year but you have to pay āYankees taxā. Same with MSG.
in Seattle. Thousands of Canucks make the trek to that game. bus charters and such.
lots of ball players out here
Yankees tax is a real thing, went there last Sept and watched them beat the Jays. Cole pitched a gem.
Really curious about that $10 wager.

That Dodgers bullpen is killing me.

Probably the first one he placed before getting more bold/desperate.
Or the last desperate attempt to get out the hole.
In all seriousness, I feel bad for him, and anyone whoās battling a gambling addiction whilst working in an arena that promotes gambling relentlessly and shamelessly.
I donāt gamble much, but it struck me recently how many of my conversations in bars arenāt really about the sport itself these days but rather the odds, etc.

Hockey is almost unwatchable on TV now, because of the stoppage commercials that are usually a mix of promoting gambling and āresponsible gamblingā warnings.
Mookie lad!
Everyone involved understands that the massive growth of the NFL in the past 15 years has been almost entirely down to fantasy, which is nothing but a vehicle for betting. Every stake holder in every other sport left behind by the NFL understands this too, and that is why weāre now in this powder keg of a situation where the betting lines are pretty much as important as the wins and losses. Situations like this are pretty much inevitible and the leagues act all offended that the obvious outcome happened
Same with the Premier League in England. One minute youāre gearing about suspensions for Toney and Tonali then Ray Winstonās face pops up to tell you in the in-play odds.
When I watch sports it seems that about 50% of the ads are these awful āsports gambling is now legal in Floridaā ones from Hard Rock advertising their new legal app
It has inundated Aussie Rules as well, odds are constsntly thrown at you via all forms of media.
āBut remember to gamble responsibly.ā
Aaron Boone ejected two batters into their game against Oakland. If you can find time, watch the footage. itās awesome
and then the Yankees bullpen give up a two-run in the top of 9. shut down in the bottom. blowing 102 past Soto, Judge. love itā¦ love love love it
Is there any point in it? Iāve watched Baseball for about 27 years now and I canāt work out why they do it.

Funniest thing Iāve seen in a while
