#mlb #sports
Let the second victory come. I subscribed to Disney and will check to see if this game will be broadcast.
Watching it becomes easier and more exciting to follow the Mets.
I dont think it will be on Disney. That isnt a network that carries MLB let alone the Mets.

Steven Cohen, a billionaire investor and hedge fund manager, purchased the New York Mets in 2020. Here's an overview of the transaction:
In September 2020, the Mets' previous owner, Fred Wilpon, and his son Jeff Wilpon, agreed to sell the team to Steven A. Cohen for $2.4 billion. The sale marked one of the most valuable sports franchise transactions in history.
Cohen, who founded Point72 Asset Management and S.A.C. Capital Advisors, had a net worth estimated at around $14 billion at the time of the purchase. He became the seventh owner in the Mets' history and took over the team from the Wilpon family, who owned it since 1986.
The sale was approved by Major League Baseball (MLB) owners in November 2020, with a unanimous vote in favor of the transaction. The deal included not only the purchase of the team but also the lease to Citi Field, the Mets' home stadium, which runs through 2049.
Under Cohen's ownership, the Mets have made several key moves to improve the team on and off the field. These include hiring new front office personnel, signing free-agent players, and investing in player development.
Cohen has also been involved in various philanthropic efforts and initiatives aimed at supporting local communities and charitable organizations. He has pledged to build a state-of-the-art baseball academy in Queens, New York City, as part of his commitment to giving back to the community.
Overall, Steven Cohen's ownership of the New York Mets represents a new era for the franchise, with potential for significant growth and success both on and off the field.

Basically time to start a new month. We need to get 125K threads for the month of September. We were far below that in August. Time to kick it up a notch.
Also, the goal is to be at 8K shorts by the end of September.
We need 100 threads per day in here.
oI am game boss
Then thread away.
on it
Task, how are the shorts numbers?

That will be 3K for the month. That will be a decent amount to get us on the way to the goal.

For @coyotelation:
The Miami Marlins are a professional baseball team based in Miami, Florida. They compete in Major League Baseball (MLB) as a member club of the National League (NL) East division.
The franchise was established in 1993 and began play in 1993 as an expansion team. The team is owned by Bruce Sherman, who purchased the team from Jeffrey Loria for $1.2 billion in October 2017.
Wow! More than 1 billion dollars in an MLB team.
Astronomical values and that was almost 10 years ago.
That is a cheap team. I would say the NY Yankees would go for about $5 billion.
Today my wife complained about Venice.ai and said it was stupid. LOL
She was preparing some assessments and some things she asked the chatbot said something wrong.
I recommended Claude, but she didn't like him either. Chatbot for her has to be either a "complete" asset or she needs to pay for a Premium version.
The free version really leaves a few things to be desired.
Well they are not perfect, just like people arent perfect. If that is how she is judging it, she will be disappointed.
Of course, if she gets turned off of it for a few months, she will end up being further behind.
Throughout their history, the Marlins have experienced some successes, including winning two World Series titles: in 1997 against the Cleveland Indians and again in 2003 against the New York Yankees.
The team plays its home games at LoanDepot Park (formerly known as Marlins Park), which opened in 2012. The stadium is located in the Little Havana neighborhood of Miami and features a unique design, including a retractable roof and a pool beyond the right-field wall.
While the Marlins have not been consistent playoff contenders since their early years, they continue to develop young talent through their strong farm system and scouting department. Fans of the team hope for continued improvements on the field as the franchise looks to build a new era of success in Miami.
Here are the all-time pitching and hitting leaders for the Miami Marlins:

Mets vs White Sox, 7:10 PM
Saturday, August 31, 2024 • 7:10 PM
Guaranteed Rate Field • Chicago, IL
LHP Jose Quintana (6-9, 4.36) vs. RHP Davis Martin (0-2, 2.96)
WPIX
The Mets look to stretch their winning streak to three games tonight as they play game two against the White Sox in the Windy City. Friday night the Mets took the lead early and held on in a fairly uneventful game. Jesse Winker and J.D. Martinez stole the show, going a combined 5-for-8 next to each other in the lineup with three runs scored, a double, and a homer.
The Diamondbacks lost again, so the entire wild-card race collapsed a bit more, with only five games separating the Diamondbacks, Padres, Braves, and Mets. The Mets are still three games out of the playoffs as we close out play at the end of August.
Mets Lineup
Francisco Lindor – SS
Brandon Nimmo – CF
Mark Vientos – 3B
Pete Alonso – 1B
Jesse Winker – LF
J.D. Martinez – DH
Starling Marte – RF
Jeff McNeil– 2B
Francisco Alvarez -C
Jose Quintana has pitched 140 1/3 innings over 26 games with a 4.36 ERA, 5.09 FIP, 1.304 WHIP, and a 91 ERA+. August was dreadful for Quintana, allowing 19 runs over 20 2/3 innings over the first four games of the month. The Mets went 0-4 in those four games. He bounced back in a big way his last time out, holding the Padres to no runs, scattering four hits over 6 1/3 innings. Quintana will now look to make it two solid starts in a row against the club he made his major league debut for and was an All-Star for back in 2016. The White Sox have the following career numbers against Quintana:
Andrew Benintendi 0-3
Luis Robert Jr. – 1-3, K
Chuckie Robinson 0-2
Miguel Vargas 2-5, HR, K
Opposing Lineup
Corey Julks – RF
Luis Robert Jr. – CF
Andrew Benintendi – LF
Andrew Vaughn – 1B
Gavin Sheets – DH
Korey Lee – C
Lenyn Sosa – 2B
Miguel Vargas – 3B
Jacob Amaya – SS
Davis Martin has pitched 27 1/3 innings over six games this year with a 2.96 ERA, 3.76 FIP, 1.427 WHIP, and a 144 ERA+. Martin returned to the majors this year after Tommy John surgery and has been using a faster (high-80s) changeup with success. He’s still building up his pitch count and he hasn’t thrown more than 90 pitches this season. The goal for the Mets here is to get him to work deep into counts, walk batters, and then kick him out of the game early. He is walking batters at a 4.3 BB/9 clip. No one on the Mets roster has faced him in a major league game before.
Game Notes
Alex Young will be recalled as a September media, according to Carlos Mendoza. Young was claimed earlier in the season and pitched to a 1.29 ERA in 7 innings. The position player the Mets will call-up is TBD.
Francisco Lindor doubled on Friday in the ninth inning, extending his on-base streak to 27 games. John Olerud holds the Mets record with 47 consecutive games of reaching base.
Jose Quintana takes the bump for the Mets as the squad looks to take the series. In his last start, Quintana pitched 6 1/3 scoreless innings against the Padres in a 3-2 Mets loss.
Three Things To Watch For
Mets bullpen. The Mets had to use four relievers yesterday, including using Edwin Díaz for a third consecutive day. Huascar Brazobán and Danny Young are the most rested relievers for the Mets. Adam Ottavino tossed only three pitches Friday night and had two days off before that.
Jesse Winker. Winker has gone 5-for-8 over his last two games with two doubles. His bat is waking up for the Mets at the time when they need him most. From getting key hits to cheering on players in huge moments, it’s finally Winker’s Mets moment!
Power from the Mets big hitters. Homeruns from the big Mets hitters can give the Mets some breathing room tonight, especially when the bullpen has been used so much recently. Since August 19th J.D. Martinez has gone 10-for-39 with four homers (.590 SLG). Pete Alonso has hit two homers this week. (Not taking credit for it, but his last homer came on a day when we said, watch for an Alonso homer!).

Paralimpíadas
Brasil fatura mais dez medalhas, chega a 23 e fica em terceiro no quadro geral
Puxado pelo atletismo e pela natação, o Brasil conquistou mais dez medalhas neste sábado e chegou a um total de 23, fechando o terceiro dia de disputa das Paralimpíadas de Paris 2024 em terceiro lugar no quadro geral, atrás de China e Grã-Bretanha.
Os bons resultados na piscina, com dois ouros e uma prata, e na pista/campo, com cinco pódios, além de dois bronzes no tênis de mesa, mantêm o país nos trilhos rumo a um sonhado desempenho inédito.
#newsonleo #sports #paralympics #pt
Até hoje a melhor colocação do Brasil nas Paralimpíadas foi o sétimo lugar, posição alcançada em Londres 2012 e Tóquio 2020. A meta estabelecida pelo Comitê Paralímpico Brasileiro (CPB) é melhorar essa colocação, até mesmo saltando para o top 5 no quadro geral. A projeção da entidade é que o Brasil supere também os recordes de medalhas e ouros, que até Paris são de 72 pódios e 22 ouros.
Na piscina, o dia começou com o brilho de Maria Carolina Santiago, que se igualou à velocista Ádria dos Santos como a maior medalhista de ouro brasileira em Paralimpíadas ao vencer os 100m costas da classe S12, para pessoas com deficiência visual. Foi a quarta medalha dourada nos Jogos da carreira nadadora, que de quebra ainda bateu o recorde das Américas com 1min08s23.
Gabriel Araújo seguiu “amassando” e levou o segundo ouro em Paris ao vencer os 50m costas na classe S2, para atletas com deficiência físico-motor, com 50s93.
LOL this is funny.

The 1919 Black Sox scandal was a major controversy in Major League Baseball (MLB) that involved eight players from the Chicago White Sox, who were accused of deliberately losing the World Series to the Cincinnati Reds in exchange for money from gamblers.
Here are some key details about the scandal:
The Black Sox scandal remains one of the most infamous events in baseball history, tarnishing the reputation of the game during a time when it was already facing financial struggles. The consequences of the scandal reshaped professional baseball and led to greater scrutiny of gambling and sportsmanship within the sport.
#8 Penn State won 34-12 over West Virginia in the first game of the college football season for both teams.
