After a week of cycling through the mountains of France (not a baseball metaphor, an actual trip), Jake has returned to a world of hate-free, passion-free Yankees-Red Sox matchups, eulogies of the Mets season, and the unstoppable wave of destruction from Elly de la Cruz. Plus, while Jake's still on European time - how difficult it is to buy a championship in baseball, compared to what Manchester City did in the Champions League? Finally, Jake lists out all of the baseball news that filtered to him through the French press, and asks Jordan to fill in les blancs.
