“That run the Red Sox scored Monday night? It never happened. Glad it didn’t affect the outcome and your Blue Jays bet.” 
— Sean, Woodside 

Thanks, Sean. The last time both teams forgot how many outs there were, I was guarding the hot corner at the softball/beer fundraiser. Sometimes you have to “chug it up” for a good cause.

And that delay in the Sox-Jays game took almost as long as the Luigi Mangione pretrial.

The Orioles are at Minnesota. Both teams have losing records yet find themselves in the thick of the AL wild-card race.

We will take Shane Baz and the O’s for $50 (-102, FanDuel).
