Our new national pastime.

The numbers are in and Americans have wagered $220 billion in five years of legalized gambling.

Let’s see: $50 a day, 30 days a month for 7 months times 5 years.

Mike from Astoria on our early-season debt: “Hey Stitch, why don’t you just do what all politicians do. Blame the previous administration.”

No, no Mike. While Charles was crowned this week, Hondo will always be King.

Are the Phillies ready to roll?

Bryce Harper is back now that Dr. Neal ElAttrache reAttrached his elbow.

The Jays are in Philly. Toronto’s Kevin Gausman and Philly’s Zack Wheeler were both bullied by Boston in their last start.

Gausman allowed eight runs in 3 ¹/₃ innings.

Wheeler surrendered four runs in 5 ¹/₃ . We will take Wheeler and the Phillies for $50.

Padres squashed the Twinkies, 6-1.

Manny Machado’s three-run homer put the game out of reach.

Michael Wacha with six strong innings.

Winner. Down -592 hoffmans.
