The funniest part of all these gringos getting mad about being called “USians” is that they need to think it’s an invention of Canadians or the British or some other Anglophone nation, so they don’t run into having to acknowledge that a bunch of brown people might be pissed at them for good reason.

What's especially fun about this is that they exposed Pearson to waivers to carry an extra infielder for essentially one game. The night before, both Jeremy Peña (hamstring cramp) and Christian Walker (hip tightness) had left the game, so Houston wanted Raynel Delgado available for coverage.

Nate Pearson, whom the Astros DFAd in mid-July, has allowed one run, walked six and struck out 18 batters in his first 19 innings with the Kansas City Royals.

I’m all for David Zaslav hate, but Warner already beat that write-off when it sold the movie to Ketchup Entertainment for ~$50M. The interesting question now is whether Ketchup can turn a profit after paying that acquisition cost, marketing the movie, and splitting the box office with theaters.

Coyote vs. Acme has now grossed more than the $30 million tax write-off Warner Bros. originally shelved it for, reaching $33.84 million worldwide.

In "The Dog Stars," one of the greatest directors of our time is taking on the age-old question "in the post apocalyptic future, will big strong boys still brood?" And, friends, I've got some great news about the answer.

Geez, didn’t realize how much Alex Bregman turned his season around. Had more homers in August (12) than he had the previous four months (11). Now tied for seventh in NL bWAR for batters (4.6).
