The U.S. Open begins Monday.

Jannik Sinner, who tested positive twice for performance-enhancing drugs, will be allowed to compete.

Sinner may be the most unfortunately named athlete since auto racer Dick Trickle.

“You have to be one of the worst handicappers who ever lived!! After losing five bets in a row I do the exact opposite of what you predict and I win. Keep it up. You’re terrible. Know that going in!”

Thank you Mr. “Bark”owski.

We’ve won our share of games since the Nationals’ Mitchell Parker allowed one run last week. It was the only run Parker has given up in his past 18 ¹/₃ innings at home.

The Yanks’ Nestor Cortes is nasty again.

He throws off back-to-back seven-inning shutouts.

Play $50 on the home ’dog Nats.

After spending this summer with the Jacksonville Jumbo Shrimp, Adam Oller may have given off a foul odor but he came out smelling like a rose after he and the Marlins beat the Chicago Schlubs and Javier Assad, 7-2.

J-Ass allowed two homers and the Fish never looked back.

Loss has us at -483 fergiejenkins.
