Do you believe in miracles? OUI! France 83, USA 76. Concerned, Dr. Anthony Fauci? “We’re heading in the wrong direction.”

Dr. Fauci’s favorite team, the Nationals, travels to Philly after a lost weekend in Baltimore. The Nats were swept by the lowly O’s, and they haven’t been this worried in Washington since Hunter Biden decided to become a painter. Joe Ross (5-8, 4.02 ERA) takes his turn Monday. Ross has won two of his last three (loss was to the Dodgers) and has allowed five runs over his last 20 innings. The Phillies give Spencer Howard (0-2, 5.11 ERA) another spot start, even though he has surrendered 10 earned runs over his last 20 ¹/₃ innings. The Phils filled our pockets Sunday, but we will play against them Monday. 10 units on the Nats.


Phantastic! Phils 2, Bravos 1. Aaron Nola gave up a home run after shutting down Atlanta for 8 ²/₃ innings. Ranger Suarez came on to get the final out. Losing streak is over. Down -1,010 popovichs.
