On today’s Daily Puck Drop, Jason “Puck” Puckett is joined by Jim Moore, the Go-2-Guy to start off the show and Bill Krueger, Old School Baseball podcast makes his Monday visit as well.  

Puck and Jim open up the show withJim telling Puck about his buddy who blew off his toenail while pressure washing his back patio because he was wearing sandals…who does that?!! 

Jim has experienced a little writing regrets as of late and they talk about the betting odds for the home run derby, Cal Raleigh being the best teammate you could ask for and Julio’s remarkable series against Detroit and hopefully this is a precursor to things to come in the second half of the season.  They wrap up talking about the NBA Baord of Governors meeting on Tuesday in Las Vegas to talk expansion and Puck is worried that they may table expansion talk. 

Bill Krueger, Old School Baseball podcast joins the show to talk Mariners. They open discussing the Detroit series and what a turnaround it was from New York and that the All-Star break has happened at the wrong time since they are coming off such a great series.  They go in depth on Julio’s Detroit series, why he decided not to play in the All-Star game, his second half of the season, what will they do at the trade deadline, Ben Williamson’s season and Cal’s remarkable first half. 

Puck promotes the “Puck the Picker Majors Pool” brought to you by Synthetic Turf Northwest.  The Open Championship marks the last major of the season and Puck breaks down who is in the lead for the grand prize for a stay and play package at Gamble Sands Golf Resort. 

Puck wraps up the show with, “Hey, What the Puck!?”   The NBA needs to deliver something positive tomorrow or this city may very well once and for all turn their back on the league.
