Swim! Swim faster Stitches!

“Oh the shark babe, has such teeth dear. And it shows them, pearly white”...

Mikey’s back in town! Fastest swimmer of all-time Michael Phelps will race a great white shark for Discovery Channel’s popular Shark Week in July. USA! USA! USA! Tough assignment for the greatest Olympian, but no more hazardous than splashing through the sewage in Brazil. Element of danger sure. This isn’t San Jose’s Joe Thornton. It’s the real deal, Chief Brody. “We’re gonna need a bigger dope.” Ryan Lochte was next in line, chief.

“Stitches sleeps with the fishes.” Not quite Tessio, but it’s been a tough week. Backing Jon Lester this evening as the Cubs host the Padres. Picked up his 150th career W last week at Citi Field. 20 units on Chicago as he picks up No. 151.

Why Yu little ... Darvish did what he does every time I support. Surrendered four runs in the opening frame and Mariners won 7-3. Royals’ Jason Vargas got off to a rough start as well, but settled down nicely and provided us with a much-needed win. Split but still lost ground. Down to 1,855 quints.
