Cleveland had the good fortune of benefitting from a very bad Jesse Chavez outing tonight—building a 7-0 lead during a second inning in which the Angels starter allowed two doubles, walked four and gave up two home runs, one of which was a grand slam.

Young Larry Nance Jr. Wrote These Nice Letters To A Soldier Overseas
If you are the right age, i.e. pretty much any age, the U.S. was at war when you were a kid, and maybe your class wrote supportive letters to troops stationed overseas.

Lonzo Ball Has Best Game Yet After Ditching Big Baller Brand Sneakers

Lonzo Ball Will Be Fine
Summer League action made Jan Vesely look like an actual basketball player for two years in a row, so probably you should be wary of setting much stock by it.
