Philadelphia Phillies vs. Texas Rangers MLB Pick Prediction by Tony T. Phillies at Rangers 1:15PM ET—Jesus Luzardo will start for Philadelphia. Luzardo, in 23 starts deals with an ERA of 4.32 with WHIP of 1.35. The left hander fans 27.2% with 8.1% walks. Ground balls served at 42.9% with 0.85 home runs per nine innings. Jacob deGrom gets the start for Texas. deGrom has 22 starts with an ERA of 2.80 and WHIP of 0.94. The right hander fans 27.1% with 5.8% walks. Ground ball rate of 40.2% with 1.33 home runs per nine innings.

Netanyahu's latest move isn't subtle. He wants Israel to take full control of the Gaza Strip — dismantle Hamas, free hostages, and install a non-Hamas civilian government. On paper, it sounds like a decisive endgame. In practice, it's a minefield. The UN, the UK, and even some of Israel's own military leaders are warning this could be catastrophic, both humanitarian and legal. We're talking about tens of thousands of troops pushing into Gaza City, uprooting a million residents to the south, and expanding a controversial aid network that's already replacing the UN in distribution.I can't say I'm shocked. From the moment October 7th happened, this was always one of the plausible end states — Hamas removed from power entirely. What I didn't anticipate was Iran's weakened state factoring into the timing, or the fact that Israel might see that as a green light to act more aggressively. The trouble is, any operation that moves into the areas where hostages are held risks killing them outright. That's going to split Israel politically, because it forces a brutal question: if you were willing to risk their deaths now, why didn't you do it immediately after the attack?And that's before you even get to the problem of what comes after. Hamas leaders can't make a deal and then just go live quietly in Gaza. They'd have to leave. But where? You don't walk away from martyrdom rhetoric on Monday and spend Tuesday at Mario World in Orlando. Gaza under Hamas isn't just a state — it's a criminal syndicate, and that makes any negotiated exit almost impossible. Which means, if this plan goes forward, it's going to be bloody, messy, and controversial from the start.Trump's Putin PlayTrump's continuing to signal he'll meet with Putin “very soon,” possibly in the UAE. Early talk was that Zelensky would be part of a three-way summit, but Trump has apparently dropped that stipulation. Predictably, the Kremlin is treating this like a win, while critics warn it could legitimize Russia's aggression and undermine NATO. That's the Beltway framing.From what I'm hearing, it's not that simple. Trump has actually been harder on Putin lately than some people realize — moving nuclear subs into range, green-lighting sanctions, and generally signaling that he's done being strung along. This isn't 2018 Helsinki. It might be Trump testing whether Putin will only make a deal after feeling genuine pressure.None of this means a breakthrough is coming. It probably isn't. But it does mean Trump wants to own the narrative — that he's the guy who ends wars through direct negotiation. And until Ukraine or Gaza is resolved, his foreign policy record will feel incomplete. I think he knows that, and I think that's why this meeting's on the table at all.FBI Assisting in Locating Texas DemsIn Texas, the Democratic walkout drama is back, with Senator John Cornyn confirming the FBI is helping locate them. Illinois Governor J.B. Pritzker is playing host, calling the state's collection of Democrats “refugees,” which is absurd. They're not refugees. They're political props in his own long-term campaign plans.Here's the thing — if you believe in what you're doing, you should want to get arrested. That would make this story bigger, not smaller. It's the most potent form of protest they've got. Instead, they're hiding out in hotels, funded by Beto O'Rourke's PAC, doing nothing to energize the very voters they're supposedly defending.They could be knocking on doors in the districts that are about to be carved up, rallying people who are about to lose representation. If they got dragged back to Austin by Texas Rangers in the middle of that, it'd be front-page news. Instead, we've got photo ops in Chicago. It's the same mistake they made in 2021 — swapping a real fight for a symbolic one, and then acting surprised when nothing changes.Chapters00:00:00 - Intro00:03:48 - Interview with Michael Cohen and Tom Merritt00:21:29 - Update00:21:57 - Gaza00:29:30 - Trump and Putin00:32:41 - Texas Dems00:36:07 - Interview with Michael Cohen and Tom Merritt (con't)01:01:12 - Wrap-up This is a public episode.

Tales of the Texas Rangers 50-09-16 (11) Candy Man

C-Lo is here for his first update of the day and starts with the Yankees beating the Rangers as David Bednar got a 5-out save. We also heard all the sounds of the Mets' loss to the Guardians again.

Boomer and Gio are headed to Pebble Beach for golf and hiking. The NFL preseason begins, and Boomer speculates on CBS's Week 1 announcing teams. C-Lo's final update covers the Mets nearly being no-hit (saved by Soto's homer), the Arizona Rattlers' arena football loss and post-game coach rant, and Donald Trump's mispronunciation of Tua Tagovailoa. Jerry Jones was again questioned about Micah Parsons by Jane Slater. Mike Vrabel was injured breaking up a fight at Patriots camp. The Moment of The Day features Boomer encountering "mutants" in Times Square, and a caller complains about Lindor's "My Girl" walk-up music given his strikeouts. The segment ends with a look ahead to the Mets and Yankees' standings next week.

Judge's elbow raises questions, while Stanton's bat is needed. Retired callers express uncertainty about their newfound free time. C-Lo provides an update, but first, former Yankee Roy White discusses the challenges of playing left field compared to easier center field. C-Lo then covers the Mets' near no-hitter and sweep by the Guardians, prompting Frank The Tank's outrage and prediction of another sweep in Milwaukee. George Kittle defends his position from aspiring newcomers. The hour concludes with Boomer guessing real vs. fake headlines from Jerry.

The hour began with a call suggesting Juan Soto is complacent. We then discussed the Jets and Giants, noting the Giants' stability with Daboll and Schoen versus the Jets' new coach and GM, predicting growing pains. The importance of preseason play for quarterbacks was highlighted. A caller expressed confidence in the Jets making the playoffs. C-Lo's update followed, preceded by Boomer's anecdote about seeing "mutants" outside the Aladdin theater. C-Lo reported the Yankees avoiding a sweep against the Rangers, David Bednar's 5-out save, Paul Goldschmidt's pinch-hit game-winning HR, and Juan Soto's ninth-inning homer for the Mets' only hit. Jane Slater and Jerry Jones debated the Micah Parsons situation. The hour concluded with a discussion about Eddie's retirement and Boomer's frequent inquiries about his own retirement.

With Gio out, Boomer & Jerry host. The Mets were swept by the Guardians, losing 1-0 on a solo Soto HR in the 9th, a game where Jerry criticized Soto's effort. Boomer is surprised by the home crowd booing the $400 million roster. C-Lo's first update covers the Yankees beating the Rangers and the Mets' loss. The hour concludes with Al bringing up a story already covered yesterday.

Hour 1 With Gio out, Boomer & Jerry discussed the Mets' one-hit loss and sweep by the Guardians, which Boomer found unbelievable given their $400 million roster. Jerry criticized Soto's effort. C-Lo updated on the Yankees' win and the Mets' loss. Al also brought up a story already covered yesterday. Hour 2 The hour began with a call discussing Juan Soto's perceived complacency. Attention then shifted to the Jets and Giants; the Giants have stability with Brian Daboll and Joe Schoen, while the Jets face "growing pains" with a new coach and GM. The importance of preseason play for quarterbacks was debated. A caller predicted the Jets would make the playoffs. C-Lo's update followed Boomer's anecdote about seeing "mutants" outside a Broadway show. C-Lo reported the Yankees avoided a sweep, David Bednar's 5-out save, Paul Goldschmidt's pinch-hit game-winning HR, and Juan Soto's ninth-inning homer, the Mets' only hit. Jane Slater and Jerry Jones discussed Micah Parsons. The final segment covered Eddie's retirement, with Al jokingly pretending to be retired and bored, and Boomer noting frequent inquiries about his own retirement. Hour 3 Discussion points included Aaron Judge's elbow, Giancarlo Stanton's return, and retired callers unsure how to spend their time. Former Yankee Roy White advised on playing left field. C-Lo covered the Mets' near no-hitter and sweep, and Frank The Tank's Mets predictions. George Kittle discussed his job security. The hour concluded with Boomer discerning real headlines from Jerry's creations. Hour 4 Boomer and Gio are headed to Pebble Beach for golf and hiking. The NFL preseason begins, and Boomer speculates on CBS's Week 1 announcing teams. C-Lo's final update covers the Mets nearly being no-hit (saved by Soto's homer), the Arizona Rattlers' arena football loss and post-game coach rant, and Donald Trump's mispronunciation of Tua Tagovailoa. Jerry Jones was again questioned about Micah Parsons by Jane Slater. Mike Vrabel was injured breaking up a fight at Patriots camp.

There's lots of talk about Aaron Boone losing his job and Gio doesn't see that happening in-season. Boomer said the Yankees are ‘cratering right now'. Gio said the kids say, ‘crashing out'. A caller wonders why Boone kept Devin Williams in there last night after he walked the bases loaded.

The hour concluded with preparations for a Pebble Beach trip and news of Rick Hartmann's passing.

Hour 1 The Yankees' losing streak and Devin Williams' poor performance have fueled speculation about Aaron Boone's job security.

A caller questions Devin Williams' continued presence after walking the bases loaded. C-Lo, heading to Nashville for Tommy Lugauer's 40th, gives his final update and previews Mets and Yankees pitching matchups. The Yankees' minor league system reportedly neglects fundamentals. Shaq bets he'll wear a dress if the Cowboys lose to the Eagles. Another dildo was thrown at a WNBA game. The Moment of The Day questions if Sal will challenge Carlos Mendoza. Gio believes Steve Cohen should address the Mets' situation on X, while a caller thinks Juan Soto is unmotivated.

C-Lo is in for Jerry today and is here for his first update of the day and starts with the sounds of the Yankees getting shutout and only getting 2 hits. Williams walked the bases loaded then gave up a 2-run single. The Mets lost to the Guardians again as Tyler Rogers gave up the game winning run.

Texas is right outside my window. I live just a short drive away from the statehouse, and yet, I'm physically closer to it than most of the Texas Democratic Party right now. Because while redistricting votes are going down, they've skipped town. Some are in Chicago, some in New York, some who-knows-where. They're avoiding quorum on a vote that could give Republicans five more congressional seats in the next midterms. That might sound dramatic, but the stakes are that high. This isn't about making a point. This is about shaping the entire balance of the House.Let's set aside the tired talking points about whether gerrymandering is good or bad, or whether California and Illinois are just as guilty. I don't want to have that conversation right now. I want to talk about the Democrats in this state — the ones who keep losing, keep retreating, and somehow keep thinking that symbolic resistance is a strategy. It's not. It's performance. And worse, it signals to Texas liberals that their party isn't willing to stand and fight. Not even in the state they claim to want to flip.Politics Politics Politics is a reader-supported publication. To receive new posts and support my work, consider becoming a free or paid subscriber.Texas doesn't see itself as part of a broader movement. It sees itself as Texas. It doesn't think of itself like the South, and it sure as hell doesn't take cues from New York or Illinois. If you want to win here, you have to respect that. You have to show up and deliver for voters — on Texas terms. And skipping town because you're mad about a vote doesn't read like courage. It reads like cowardice. It says you don't believe in the fight enough to have it on home turf.Democrats did the same thing back in 2021 over a voting rights bill. They went to D.C., got tons of national media, and nothing changed. In fact, they lost ground. Their already thin hold in the statehouse got thinner. Republicans strengthened their grip. So this idea that leaving the state is some kind of protest with teeth is pure fantasy. It's been tried. It failed. And now they're doing it again — not with new tactics, not with a new message, just the same tired escape hatch.What could they have done instead? I've got an idea. Take those same 50 Democrats and spend 72 hours barnstorming the neighborhoods that are about to be gerrymandered out of blue representation. Knock doors. Shake hands. Livestream the whole thing. Go to Frisco, Plano, East Houston, McAllen, Pflugerville, the Fifth Ward, and tell people what's happening. Tell them they're losing their voice in the Texas legislature. Register voters on the spot. Raise money. Make noise. Make it impossible to ignore you because you're in Texas, not because you fled it.You want a viral image? Try getting hauled back to the Capitol in a Texas Ranger squad car. That's real drama. That's a story that cuts through. And it puts a spotlight on the very system you're protesting. But instead, we get hotel bar selfies in Albany — and no movement on the map that's about to tilt the state even further red. The public doesn't want passive resistance. They want a fight. And Texas voters — especially liberals — want to believe that their side still knows how to throw a punch.It's not enough to blame the system. You have to build a response that feels real, rooted, and local. Texas is a massive media market. It's expensive to campaign here. But if you don't make Republicans spend, if you don't at least make it look like a fight, they'll never take you seriously, and they'll never pay the price. Right now, all the Democrats have shown is that they're not even willing to lose the right way.Chapters00:00:00 - Intro00:02:00 - Texas00:13:46 - Update00:14:29 - Treasury Secretary 00:19:36 - Gaza00:24:36 - Moon-based Nuclear Reactor00:26:31 - Interview with Kirk Bado01:23:11 - Wrap-up This is a public episode.

Jerry starts with the sounds of the Yankees losing in Texas. Devin Williams gave up a big HR in the ninth to Pederson that tied the game. Then Josh Young hit a walk-off 3-run HR. Max Fried's last few starts have not been great. Brett Baty had a bad throwing error on a bunt that gave the Guardians the lead. Aaron Glenn talked about getting ready for game week. Jerry has the original clip of Dan in Warwick asking if the NY Giants and San Francisco Giants get together. The Giants put out a video on social media showing Eli Manning having a meetup with the SF Giants and Mike Francesa walks in. Sal then had Dan in Warwick on and it was a dud.

Bear encounters in the woods were discussed, including calls from park rangers and a story about wiener dogs. Jerry shared bear attack sounds. The Yankees lost to the Rangers (Williams and Bird gave up homers) and the Mets to Cleveland (Baty's throwing error).
