MLB is suffering from runaway division races as three of them have been wrapped up since the 4th of July and the METS have recently opened up a 6 1/2 game lead in the NL EAST so that leaves just the Central Divisions of both leagues.
In the AL, all three teams who are in the running, including the White Sox, basically SUCK and the first team that wins 6 or 7 in a row will ring the bell but I don't think that's happening anytime soon. The 1st place Twins are 27-28 since July 1. UGH.
Now the CARDINALS in the NL Central apparently heard what I said as they just finished sweeping the Yankees for their 7th win in a row which allowed them to erase a 4 game deficit and pass up the Brewers.

I so much want to punch MICHAEL KOPECH in the face. EVERY TIME the Sox have a chance to knock on the door, pony tail boy melts like a cheap candle. Struggles in the early innings and puts the Sox behind the 8-ball and rarely gets out of the 5th inning.
Also on my punch list is TONY LaRUSSA for a variety of reasons. How do you keep a third baseman in the starting lineup when he's hitting .198? I guess so you can bookend him with a catcher whose average is .193, which means you're giving up SIX automatic outs every game which means you're only batting 7 times instead of 9.

The San Diego Padres have the UGLIEST UNIFORMS, home & away, in all of baseball including little league and park district intramurals. What were they thinking? The best are simple: Yankees home, Dodgers home and the new White Sox 'southside' home black uniforms. No discussion needed.

No thanks, I'll pass on $450 million dollars. What? Just one injury............😧😧😵

The Cubs are now in a Texas death match with the Reds and the Pirates for the worst team in the central and the 2nd worse in the national league. The north siders recently grabbed the top spot after spitting up 7 of their last 10.
And please explain to me how you don't trade either Contreras or Happ for a handful of prospects when you're in line to lose 94 games? And now Contreras walks away at the end of the year and the Cubs get ONE draft choice. GM JED HOYER needs to travel with LaRussa when the season is over.
*******
Ok, props to the Chicago Sky who are poised to make another run at the WNBA title.
*******
And the BEARS are sailing along so smoothly at practice that it's hard to believe the Super Bowl is not within their reach 🙈🙉🙊!!
*******
Nothing to report on the BLACKHAWKS other than they followed the Cubs in gutting their team but at least they admit they're rebuilding. The BULLS have gone underground for the summer.
*******
See you in a few. Stay safe and out of Chicago.
