“I think we came out today and showed what we’re all about, showed the grit, the resilience, the fight, the bravery.” – U.S. women’s soccer coach Vlatko Andonovski.

Even Buck Showalter isn’t buying that one, Vlatko. All good, though.

Half the country is happy to see Megan Rapinoe go out a loser, and the DOJ will not press charges as the heavily favored Americans did not attempt to “block the peaceful transition of power” in women’s soccer. 

Like the USWNT, the San Diego Padres talk a good game.

But every time we bet on San Diego, our kick hits the crossbar.

Seth Lugo throws at home against the Los Angeles Dodgers. Lugo allowed two runs to the Colorado Rockies in his last start.

L.A.’s Tony Gonsolin limited the Oakland A’s to one run his last time out.

Play $50 on the Padres (-134, BetRivers). 

Gooaaall! Down 3-2 and down to their last out, the Chicago White Sox scored three runs and beat the Cleveland Guardians, 5-3.

Elvis “It’s Now or Never” Andrus with the game-winning hit. Unlikely win takes us to -996 miahamms.
