Today’s word of the day is ‘agony’ as in Edwin Diaz as in Alexis Diaz as in Francisco Lindor as in Team Puerto Rico as in the WBC as in the New York Mets as in Steve Cohen as in MLB. What a nightmare. Diaz strikes out the side to send Puerto Rico to the next round of the WBC and the Dominican Republic home… and gets hurt celebrating. Oh my… (28:40) Review: The Pez Outlaw. (30:45) So You Wanna Talk to Samson!? Someone asked me about the Ja Morant situation and what has transpired. He is back after what sounds like a 20 minute stay at counseling. The NBA does it again. (37:25) NPPOD. (40:10) Aaron Rodgers wants to go to the New York Jets. Left the darkness and there we go. 

I am very sad today. Not Edwin Diaz! Not Team Puerto Rico! Not my Mets!
