Major Headlines of the Day

1.  Boston has fired the ferret.

 After producing another failure for the team of destiny, the Red Sox nation has sobered up enough to dismiss manager Farrell, Ferrill, Ferile or Fair-isle.

Hee, hee, hee....you shall a failure be.

Surely, another cast-off from the Boston Diocese can be found to run this team of choir boys.

2.  USMNT ( soccer ) brings an end to all interest in US men's soccer.

The worst day in the history of US soccer occurred last night in either Trinidad or Tobago.  These countries, with a combined population of 3 million, soundly defeated the US, a nation with a combined population of 300 million ( or so ).

T&T had nothing to lose.  They were already eliminated from any chance at earning a spot to the 2018 World Cup.  They were the worst team in the entire inventory of teams competing for spots in Russia.

Remember every player on this USMNT team. Put the list of names on your wall.  Throw stuff at it.  Never hire anyone whose name appears. It is like the Black Sox of baseball infamy, except only incompetence and lack of heart were involved, not game fixing, or gambling ( as far as we know).

We do have one teenager who gets an exemption.  Hi name is Pusilic or Pulisic  ( who can remember in this blur of talentless players?), and he is the one world class player the US has managed to develop in the last 20 years, despite spending billions on the program.

This USMNT proved that they are not of World Cup quality.  If 64 teams are invited, the USA is in the 70-90 range. Not worth a look.  Not worth going to a game or buying a jersey, except for those of us who value dark humor.

For those sports caster who frame this defeat as an upset;  it wasn't.  What they won't say is that the USMNT stinks.  They are not worthy of TV coverage.

Just to add to the humiliation;  if you watched the game, you noted that about 2800 people attended, and it is my guess that no one had to purchase a ticket. We used to get more people at high school football games.  This was like watching an independent league baseball game between two teams in last place, held in an old cow pasture in Rolf, Iowa.

3.  California is burning.

 Mostly up in wine country, for now.  Fire and Storms are getting worse.

4.  Jeter is dismantling Yankee organization.

 Note to file:  Derek, don't forget to bring Cashman and Girardi with you to Florida.

5.  Harvey Weinstein's wife is leaving him.

As allegations of rape abuse and other forms of sexual misconduct against him mount, his loving wife is bolting from the sewer.

Ben Affleck, whose movie career was made by Harvey and his cronies, has been accused by a prominent actress of knowing what Harvey was doing, but lying about the truth.  A cover up.  Just like he learned to do in the Boston Diocese, where he was nurtured and became a Red Sox fan.

Red sox nation.  Abuse and sexual misconduct.  Cover up.

 See a pattern here?

6.  Game 5 tonight.
