When we are useful, we are useful, and when we are useless, we are, yes, class, go ahead. Fucking useless, that's right. We were brought to you today by the Let them Play, a parenting and coaching guide to youth sports book, as well as the foot reflexology board, the flippy chain that I happen to be donning right now. Now, this isn't the exact flippy that you'll get off the website. This is a more aggressive version that Sissy, small fry, got me for Father's Day. But if you like the double bird stick band, this is kind of like this. Hold on. It's smiling too, right? I mean, how can't you like it? I mean, it's not a fuck you to the world. It's basically a fuck you to all the naysayers, all the haters, all the detractors, anybody that plans on getting in our way as we chase our dreams and continue to follow everything that I don't follow, or our heart is probably the best way to put it. All right. In major league baseball, the one thing we have not talked about yet here on the daily hustle are the all star rosters. So here we go, the complete 2024 AL and AL, all star rosters won a field during the 2024 BuildSubmarines.com MLB all star selection show. I like it. But let's not forget our title sponsor and that is bet online. The number one online gambling destinations. It's got all the latest news, scores, odds, predictions, pro handicap, all the other ones. It's got all of the latest news, scores, odds, predictions, pro handicappers help giving you advice on all of it. There's numbers you could dive through to try to figure out if you should lay your action one way or another. Now, I do not believe there was a line on the truckie versus wash you literally game last night. There should have been. But again, I don't think there was. If there was, I would have imagined that truckie would have been massive underdogs. So truckie went two and three and pulled play and then they got in as the eight seed into bracket play. That's the last seed. Wash you literally was the number one seed. They scored 70 plus runs. They gave up like four or five. This clearly has been the best team in district one in Nevada. Well, last night the truckie boys went out there, battled their asses off and ended up winning the game five to two. Biscuit did a fantastic job on the bump and then after that Brady came in after Biscuit ran out of pitches, closed him out. No problem. I think you get the last four out. So it was a really fun game. It's great to see the mountain kids per severe. These guys will play a lot of baseball. There's no other way to put it. So truckie moves on into the winners bracket. They stay in the winners bracket and wash you ends up going down to the losers bracket. This is a team that I easily could see come back and win the whole thing. They're big. They look like a travel team. They look like a legit traveling. Maybe not a national travel team, but just size wise, they definitely look like they are one of the best, if not the best teams are. Now truckie on the other hand, just get the strap. You're going to have to keep going. You're going to have to keep charging and doing whatever they can do to number one, make a play. Number one, throw strikes. Number two, make plays. And number three, put the ball in play. Baseballs are really fucking easy sport. If you do those three things, that's it. You throw the ball, you catch the ball, and you hit the ball. So another game tonight. And thank you. Battle board Mike and his brother came out last night to the game. Hopefully we'll see them out there again tonight. Okay, back to the all-star selection. Now these are the ones that were voted by the fans. And by the way, the all-star game presented by MasterCard will be played at Arlington's Globe Light Field July 16th 8 p.m. So that is coming up here shortly. It is the ninth today at what we're looking at a week from today will be all the festivities. American League elected starters, catcher, Adley Rochman, first base, Vladimir Guerrero, second base, Jose Altuve, third base, Jose Ramirez, shortstop, Gunnar Henderson. Good for Gunnar Henderson. Wow. Outfield, and a judge, Stephen Kwan, and your Don Alvarez is your DH reserves. I don't know if these were elected or not or exactly how they come up with it. I know there's a player vote, there's a coach's vote, manager vote. There's all sorts of ways that eventually there's actually another one that's the commissioner's pick. So you can become a reserve on several different fronts here. Let's go through those right now. Catcher, Salvador Perez, infielders, Carlos Correa, Raphael, Devers, Josh Naylor, Isaac Paredes. Pleasure Tampa Bay, by the way, in case you didn't know. Marcus Simeon. Texas, Bobby Whit Jr., Kansas City, Jared Duran. Good for Duran. Having a fantastic year for the Boston Red Sox and well-deserved All-Star, Riley Greene Detroit, Kyle Tucker, Houston, and then David Frye will be your DH from Cleveland. Good for Cleveland, pitchers, Tyler Anderson from the Angels, Corbin Burns, Baltimore, Gary Crochet, the White Sox, Logan Gilbert Seattle, Tanner Hawk, Boston, Seth Lugo, for Lugo. I hope he's never been all-star has he? Kansas City, Cole Reagan's Kansas City, and then Tariq Skubel, the kid who struck out 13 in his last start. He's absolutely fucking nasty. He's got to be in contention for the Si Young award as well. The Relievers, Emmanuel Classe, Clay Holmes, Mason Miller, and Kirby Yates. Clay Holmes was a controversial pick because that was a commissioner pick and then everybody, of course, online said, well, what the fuck? It's a New York Yankee, another New York Yankee. I mean, I look, I don't know. Clay Holmes was terrific in the early part of the year. He struggled as of late. If it's a commissioner's pick, the commissioner, you're poo-hoo, every once and I doubt Rob Manfred was that dead set on door. I need to have Clay Holmes. I don't think he really gives a shit. I think they needed another pitcher in Clay Holmes was the guy that they thought was the most qualified. Okay. Elected starters for the, naturally, William Contreras, Bryce Harper, could tell Marte, Alec Baum, Trait Turner, Christian Yellich, Jurexson Profor, for Narrow Tati's Jr. and Showe Otani. Let's leave this for a second. Bryce Harper's Philly, Alec Baum Philly, Trait Turner Philly. I mean, this is a Philly San Diego lineup because then you got Jurexson Profor, well deserved by the way, and then Fernando Otati's Jr. Interesting because you only have one Dodger in the starting lineup and that's Showe Otani, although there are a lot more Dodgers in the reserves than with the Dodgers, because you have Will Smith, then you have Mookie Betts. How's he reserve? I know he's been hurt, but Freddy Freeman, Taylor's Hernandez, the entire bench is a Dodgers. All right. Well, let's not forget CJ Abrams from Washington. Good for him. Pete Alonzo, the polar bear, Luis Horizon all start. Again, this is his third year in a row of being all start with his third different team. That's right. It was the Marlins and it was Minnesota and now San Diego, good for Luis Arise. How about Ryan McMahon and Colorado? He is an all star. As is Jackson Merrill, the young stud 21 year old for the San Diego Padres and then Elliott Ramos, the guy they sent down in spring training, it seems like they have not wanted to give Ramos an opportunity to just go run with it. Well, you know what? He didn't give a shit because he went and grabbed that opportunity on his own and he is now an all star. Great job by Elliott Ramos. Brian Reynolds and all star again for the Pittsburgh Pirates and the Marcel as you know, has been fucking killing it for the Braves. Having a great year is another reserve in the national league. The pitchers is Tyler Glass down for the Dodgers. It showed up in what I got from the Chicago Cubs. Ronaldo Lopez from Atlanta, Chris Sallet, Atlanta, Paul Skeens, of course. The question is who's going to start this game? Ranger Suarez. It could be him from Philadelphia. Logan Webb, San Francisco and then Zach Wheeler, Philly. The game is played in Texas. So I'm not sure that makes a huge difference because even if you look at the pitchers in the American league, there's not one Texas Ranger pitcher. And I look, I'm not positive. I don't think dig through the numbers, but to reach scuba versus Paul Skeens, give me that matchup, right? Who doesn't want to see it? Two young fucking flamethrowers going at it in the mid-summer classic. Look, I don't care about service time. I don't care about, well, you didn't have this amount of starts. None of it matters. You know what I want to see? I would the best fucking matchup possible. What is that? It's to reach Google versus Paul Skeens. Period. Thought over. No more debate. No more conversation. Those should be your 2024 all-star game starters. All right. Now, here's a fun part with all this. It's the snubs. I've been this guy before. It sucked. Really does. A couple of years I didn't care at all. Hey, oh, 300 care. Oh, seven. I care. Oh, seven. I thought it was bullshit. I basically had all the numbers I needed to have. Should have been also, I mean, then, you know, once you, for an Arizona guy who went to fan mode, standing there possible. So that wasn't going to happen. But my feet rested in Tony LaRouche's hands too. Back then, it was the manager that's just picked to see him. Say, I'm gonna go with this guy, this guy, this guy, this guy, this guy. And that's it. Well, he left me off the team and next, you know, is in a kayak with my bulldog. It's a long fucking story. He jumps in the water, starts swimming towards the Golden Gate Bridge. Yeah. I'll wear an upward. All right. Here are your all-star game stubs. Now, this oracles are from a few days ago. So if something has changed, I apologize. Brett Rucker, Oakland Athletics. He was a low-key star for their of last year's mid-summer classic driving a run for the American League and eliciting a sell the team channel. From baseball fans on hand this year, he doubled down. It's worthy. This 18 home runs 54 RBIs at 890 OBS. Why the fuck is he not in the ulcer game? 8th in the nationally, not 8 buzz worthy as fireball enclosure Mason Miller. I get that. The A is a lone representative, but certainly more accomplished and likely a trade target which would have made for fun pregame chatter. He should be there. It's terrible. Absolutely terrible. That Brett Rucker is not there. Anthony Sand, Sand 10 there. The question is how many royals can you put on here. 23 home runs are the most of any AL player not on the squad. 804 OBS. Third among outfielders with 57 RBIs and ninth overall in the ALs. No doubt it should be. Renelle Blocko. How the fuck do you leave Renelle Blocko off? I mean, this guy is throwing a damn near perfect game every time he takes a bump. Seems like we want to GM more feel good stories or nifty narratives into this game. Hey, well, Blocko would certainly fit the belly through a no hitter and just his eighth career start at the ripe age of 30. And he was no, he was no one hit wonder. Blocko's 2.53 ERA ring sport in the AL and his whip of 1.01 is seventh. Certainly needs to be an all star. Grayson Rodriguez. They're just a game behind the Cleveland Guardians for the ALs best record and yet have two fewer all stars. Fan elected starters donor Henderson and Adley Ruchman and starter Corbin Burns. Not surprisingly, they might lead in snubs too with closure Craig Kimbrel and infielder Jordan Westbrook joining Santander and Rodriguez as deserving dude. Let's hone in on Rodriguez tied for the AL with 11 wins and sixth with 9.98 strikeouts per 9 innings. Look, the problem here and I agree with this is that the Baltimore Orioles could be the most entertaining team of baseball. So you take that into account. You're like, okay, well, this is a top three team of the year baseball. And one of the most entertaining teams ate one of the ALs last year. They're on top of the ALs again. And yet they get what three ulcers? Fuck that, man. Grayson Rodriguez should be there. Santander should be there. You make a case for Jordan Westbrook that he should be there. So yeah. All right. I look Kenley Janssen to the Boston Red Sox. At the end of the day, it's not much at the end of the day. It's not much difference if a veteran reliever has four or five all star selections to his credit, but Janssen 36 has been excellent. Cause you've heard at 17, 18 save chances at 94% conversion rate. That's by far the best. I'm on the top 10 and saves yet it's curious that MLB would opt for New York Yankees closer clay homes to fell at the roster. Janssen has a 1.09 whip and a 198 opponent batting average to homes is 1.31 and 271. The Yankees have converted 19 to 24 save chances. Okay. All right. Now I understand why everyone's so up in arms. This is terrible. I mean, I know it was a commissioner's office pick, but what the fuck? I mean, unless clay homes, his family is running the commissioner's office, don't you think that they would have some internal discussions there and say, let's celebrate Kenley Janssen a guy's been doing this for a fucking number of years too. Oh, wow. Yeah. Okay. Now I'm really understanding how white people would be so upset. Naturally. Christian Walker. Cheese. I want Chris Walker. I saw him play in Reno Summit three homers one night in Reno. It's fucking awesome. At least two. Felt like a three though. This guy's a dude. You think a last week push in which he laid the waist, laid waist to Dodger Stadium would have lifted the veteran to his first all star nod. A loss is 22 home runs and 853 OPS are the most of any N.O. player not in the roster. He ranks third and eighth in those categories respectively. That's just bullshit. Arizona guys get fucked. They just do and Oakland two teams I played for. So look, that's what we have flippy guys. Christian. Do me a favor. Give me an addy. You know, I'll send it to the ballpark leaving your locker for you. It's the smiling double bird band to say, keep doing what you're doing. Don't let the naysayers, the detractors, the people voting for the bullshit all star game that somehow keep leaving you fucking off. Yeah, we humbly and proudly salute you. I got you. All right, Christopher Sanchez Philadelphia Phillies. Yeah, the Phillies got four pitchers on the squad, but they absolutely deserve one. Or maybe two more. Sanchez is a mission to glaring. He ranks six in ERA and it's one of just a half a dozen N.O. pitchers to toss a shutout. The season Sanchez is only has also given up just two homers in 90 seventies. I have to I'm just ranking six in ERA doesn't tell me you're an all star. You're having a good year. Right? I mean, I didn't take in those numbers a little bit more Trevor McGill Milwaukee Brewers. A situation where not only is the player deserving, but a team that's posted the third best record of the NFL deserves more reps and fan elected starters Christian Yellich and Willie Patreras McGill has been nails saving 18 of 19 games with a 0.99 whip and then how about Mason win as an all star stuff always considered a glove. First guy win has been outstanding all around for the Cardinals. He has a 3.4 wins above replacement. Holy shit, that's gigantic. I mean, so I'm basically a seven win player. It's just nuts. That ranks eighth among N.O. position players only behind CJ Abrams among the healthy short stops. He has a 294, 343, 416 line. It pairs nicely with his defensive. Excellent. Then how about Jake Urban of the Washington Nationals? Tough to ignore Abrams as a nationals loan representative and tough to clamor for one more bid from a fourth place team, but Urban is a club's greatest success story this year. 2.80 ERA ranking fifth. He's got a 1.0 whip trailing only all stars. Chris sale Tyler Glass down exact wheeler. He's a 1.65 ERA in his last eight starts as Jake Urban of the Washington National. So there you go. There you have it. That is the all starts. We all know about the speed of sound, but have you ever thought about the sounds of speeding? If you drive over the speed limit, there are lots of different sounds you might hear. Drive too fast and you can hear the sound of your vehicle crashing. The sound of ambulances and first responders desperately trying to for you from the wreckage. You can hear the beats of a heart monitor. You can hear doctors and nurses in an emergency room as you're being treated for your injuries. You can hear the sound of your worried family members in the hospital waiting room hoping to hear that you're okay. You could even hear the sound of people crying at a funeral because if you drive over the speed limit, whether by a lot or by a little, you can do damage that's beyond repair. You could seriously injure yourself or worse. You could hurt and even kill someone else. When you speed, you put everyone on their own danger. One way or another, speeding catches up with you.

We're going to move forward here for a second. We're going to talk some Wimbledon only because I think this has a lot to do with a mentality that is the best, the best. You have to find motivation from certain places, no matter who you are, no matter what you do. If you want to stay fucking charging, whether you're Michael Jordan, whether you're Tom Brady, that's why all the deflate gate shit, all the chuck rule stuff, everything you could dream of with Brady, right? Going for the paths to tap at the end of his career, falling behind in a Super Bowl and then fucking marching back. Like whenever you doubted the guy, that's what you knew you were going to get his best. Well, Novak Dokovic, certainly one of the more controversial and one of the best of the best tennis player to ever live, basically chases the same shit. There's an article here, it says Dokovic serves up winning mentality in the face of hostile Wimbledon crowd. This is what I love about this article. The article is, yeah, they could talk about the way Dokovic Jack did, the shitty said, these are crybaby all the stuff, but they're like, look, this is the winning mentality that one must have. So basically, I'll give you some of the article that I'll explain to you. When Novak Dokovic stepped on the microphone to dissect his performance after the brilliant fourth round victory over Holdner Roon at Wimbledon, it became clear that he had a few things to get off his chest while on the court. Well, the Encore interview may have wanted to keep the vibes light and positive on Senator Court Dokovic was determined to make his disapproval of certain parts of the audience clear. After heaping praise on the many respectful fans, he did not mince words towards those who had been zealously chanting throughout the match, quote, I don't accept that he said. No, I know they were cheering for Roon, but that's an excuse to also boo. Listen, I've been on the tour for about 20 years, so trust me, I know all the tricks. I know how it works. It's fine. It's okay. Over the course of his long story career, hostile crowds have become a regular feature in the service matches, sometimes even a second opponent. He has been heckled. He has been insulted. He has had to find the strength to win when entire audiences are cheering against him and for his opponents. Despite his Encore brilliance, he has faced more negativity than his other legendary peers as he's upheld. What had initially seemed to be a two-way race for greatness, eventually forcing Roger Federer and Rafael Nadal to both CM as an equal. This week, though, the cheers from Center of Court Crowd were tamed as the US Open were, excuse me. This week, though, the cheers from the Center of Court Crowd were tamed at the US Open in 2021. Don't give his face. An 18-year-old who was born in the first round, as a match endured, became increasingly competitive, spectators committed to "bassy elongated" chants of "Rooooo!" which eventually encircled the Arthur Ashtonium by his audience at Willard Intrude from the same energy as the cheers became increasingly loud as they were usually followed by laughter. Okay, this is where I'm on the crowd side. Oh, in a one-sided match, that was moving to very predictable ending. The crowd seemed to be intent on having to laugh. It can sound irritating and some fans surely were rooting for Roon in order to root against his opponent, but that is the nature of the sport. They still provided a better soundtrack for the match than many Wimbledon audiences that have lost interest in the tennis on court, instead focusing their attention on popping champagne courts and chanting during points. Four years ago, Michael Jordan memes spread across the internet after his contributions to the last dance documentary, primarily amounted to how personally he took so many comments and opinions that were not even meant as a slight dance. He would constantly use all the positive things said about teammates and fans to as fuel to prove how much better he was than all of them. Don't give it his reaction to these chances. Perhaps another interesting insight into the mind of a champion who has mastered winning in so many different circumstances, regardless of whether he and his player box are the only people in the audience that actually want him to win. During his career, Don't give it just mastered using these instances as extra motivation to crush the opponent across the net. Back at Wimbledon in 2019 after recovering from match points down in the final to defeat Federer in front of a hostile London crowd, Dokovic famously outlined one way he can draw from the energy of those crowds. "It's just good. So if you're in a sports psychology and everything else, it's just fantastic. Don't give it just quote. I like to transmute it in a way. When the crowd is chanting, "Rajur, I hear no vac, no vac." It sounds silly, but it is like that. I try to convince myself that it's like that. That's an interesting way to take it. I loved, loved, didn't booed on the road. Loved it. Always felt like I stepped up my game, whether I was in Boston, New York, Chicago, didn't matter. When I got booed on the road, it was like, "Yeah, getting booed at home." Now, fucking, that is terrible. Aw, the worst. The worst of the worst of the worst of the worst. But getting booed on the road, that means you're somebody. So if you have that many people against you, if you're Dokovic, you know what that means? You're just that fucking good. And you have a chip on your shoulder and maybe a little bit of arrogance about you. But so what? Why? Because that makes you great. And then if you want to use their energy and transfer it into your own, absolutely. This superhero shit, right? You're using your opponent's energy and you're using the fan's energy to create energy for you. And so here's a guy that shit, man, he doesn't have a whole lot more to play for, right? I mean, this is, I think, whether he's an all-time grand slam champion or, look, I don't know exactly where he stands in the record most. I know it's at the top with those other guys, but it's hard to get motivated to go out there and fucking win. To do everything you have to do to prepare yourself to go kick ass on that core and then go out there with that killer savage fucking mentality. It's not easy. So if you're a dope bitch, be grateful that they're giving you this fuel and then just keep using it the same way Michael Jordan did the same way Tom Brady did. It's what the best of the best do. Love it. All right. Getting to a couple more things here and then we're gonna roll. Can not not mention Ben Rice. That's right. The Yankees have been sucking a little ass lately, New York's all over him, but Ben Rice has been absolutely fucking on fire. There's a cool story about Ben Rice and the fact that he grew up near Boston, but check this out. He was a Yankees fan. That's right. So he then goes to Dartmouth and there's already talks about Ben Rice becoming the greatest baseball player to ever go to Dartmouth. That's right. He's not gonna be the greatest Ivy League ever. If I'm not mistaken, it was Lou Gehrig that went to Yale. So I gotta check my research on that. Sometimes I spit shit out. I do like it. George Bush went to Yale. So all right, in Todd Sacramento, too, but he might hear where I live. Here's the article. Long before Ben Rice left his mark, one of the sports great rivalries becoming the first Yankees rookie to get three homers in a game. That's right. Three. He was part of a different tug of war between the bombers and their historic competitors growing up in the shoreside New England of co-hosted Massachusetts race was very much an enemy territory frequently wearing his beloved old school Yankees dugout jacket in an ocean of Red Sox paraphernalia. Now look, I don't really like the Yankees. I don't really like the Red Sox. I love their fan bases. I love the history. I love the tradition. I will tell you right now that I would fucking 1000% rock a New York Yankees starter jacket. I mean, that's why we have all these different jerseys here, right? It's not just like love the team. I'll fall in love with the guys on a team and I'll root for the story and I'll root for the fan bases because they're fun to get by. But a Yankee starter jacket. Yeah, man. That's enough to get me rooting for a team. Even a Red Sox one, the two socks on actually have one. I did not like the Red Sox when I was a kid, but I had a Red Sox starter jacket. I just like cool shit. I'm sorry. All right. It says not only did he once scroll a Yankees rule on the right field pesky pole at Fenway Park, but Rice's allegiance is would be put to test as a promising ball player at Dartmouth College when he fielded interest from both teams. He said, I had a chance to get drafted by them. Rice said this is actually true. It was either one of the Red Sox or the Yankees probably that picked me. Those were the teams that I knew like me most to Rice's delight. The Yankees beat Boston to the punch, selecting Rice in the 12th round of the 2021 MLB draft. Isn't that great? Just three short years later, Rice was rounding the bases for the third time against the Red Sox and the Bronx on Saturday afternoon joining Lou Gehrig as the only other Yankees rookie to drive in seven runs in a single game. So think about that. You got the two Ivy leaders. What are the odds? The only Yankees rookies to drive in seven runs in a single game went to Ivy League schools. Incredible. Rice is a rival and the Bronx came ahead of schedule summoned to replace the injured Anthony Rizzo on June 18th. The 25 year old looks like he's here to stay a converted catcher. Rice has gamely handled the challenges of playing first base on a regular basis and he has remained productive since being moved to the lead off spot as a replacement for the slumping Anthony Volpe. You see the Comet bats he takes. I mean, let that be a lesson, all the hitters, right? That's a great way. Just a V. Yes, yes, yes, no. Yes, yes, yes, no. Yes, yes, yes, yes. Comet bats. That is the absolute key. He understands the strike zone. He doesn't flinch a bunch easy takes. You see the pull side power that he has to. He combines controlling the strike zone with some barrel awareness and the ability to hit the ball in the air from both sides. I mean, if you're a hitter, that's basically what you want. Your manager described you as I'm not is. I mean, that's everything. Boone said that he locked in on Rice's spring when the prospect read number 12 in the situation held his own during his first experience in Big League camp. So Ben Rice, great story. He's going to be a guy that we want to keep paying attention to. All right, last one here. Now I got to roll. Check this out. Millions of dollars. Let's do it a little break. You know, breaking news. Millions of dollars of rare baseball cards, including a 1952 Mickey Mantle allegedly stolen in Dallas. That's right. A sports card dealer's alleging that a man stole approximately $2 million worth of rare baseball cards and inventory from a card show in Texas on Sunday in a coordinated group effort caught on video. A she's Jane, owner of Lazy Cards published security cameras footage on X and pictures of the card allegedly stolen from the Dallas car show at the Marriott Dallas Allen Hotel and Convention Center in Allen, Texas. The police report lists four unknown male suspects. It appears from surveillance video that a group of organized individuals came in while one was distracting the victim. The other one moved in and took the briefcase full cards and left before anyone realized what had happened. The Allen Police Department is on the scene though. The thieves made off with approximately 170 cards, according to a police report obtained by the athletic. Jane said on X that the briefcase contained some of the most valuable baseball cards on the market. It was the one with all the meat chain set. They knew exactly which one to take among the pieces in the case were six 1952 tops Mickey Mantle cards and two 1948 Leaf Jackie Robinson cards, according to collect the most valuable rookie cards as a PSA grade of six on the card condition grading skill out of ten and Jane was selling it four. This was one part right? Grade six Mickey Mantle 1952. It was for sale for 175 grit. The man's team taking the case from under the table in the middle of the square of the tables had been stacking chairs near the roof for over an hour. And we thought he worked there. Jane wrote on X. These guys had been scoping us all day after footage review and even went through a process of changing clothes. It was premeditated and targeted according to Ripomani investigators are using every available resource to track down the suspects, including fingerprints and facial recognition. See this is where the thieves are fucked these days. You go to an airport, now you give them your license and then you stand in front of that thing and they're going straight for your face, right? All right, this is actually you. I guess there's no more getting into bars before you're 21. I guess that's the only thing that sucks. But when it comes to something like this, facial technology, yeah. I mean catching crooks should never be easier. It says one more thing we learned with the trading car community is that it's very tight in a group and they all know each other pretty well because they all do shows together and they're on the lookout as well. Our officers interviewed anyone that was around who may have any information. So it becomes very well known throughout the car community that this incident occurred and they're all sticking together. It seems like in trying to help, which is certainly a great thing. While there have been minor incidents at the annual Dallas card show involving a missing card here or there, Ripamati said that there's never been a case of this magnitude. He said the police department plans on beefing up security measures to make sure it never happens again. On Monday, Jean offered a $70,000 award for information leading to the return of the case. Jane shared photos of the inventory allegedly taken with the case, including nearly 20 Willie Mays cards, Honus Wagner cards, and a PSA 10 Gem Mint Tom Siever Rookie valued at $90,000. Holy shit. Well, be on the lookout. First card thing's out there. All right. Everyone have a fantastic afternoon. No deuces wild tonight. The reasoning is that Will is in Eugene, Oregon. I believe he will be back next week. I'm off to Mississippi here shortly as the PGI is firing later this week around Major League Baseball full slate of games tonight. It will be Chicago, Baltimore, Cleveland and Detroit, Elliott, Philly. The Yankees are at Tampa, Rockies at Cincinnati, Washington at the Mets. The A's are in Boston. It's always a fun trip. Minnesota, Chicago, White Sox, Miami at Houston. Houston has been playing pretty well. They're above 500 again. Pittsburgh, I'm a walking Texas at Anaheim, Seattle at San Diego. The Braves are in Arizona. Toronto is in San Francisco and Kansas City is at St. Louis. So those are your games tonight and then just a brief rundown of the standingness he owes on top of the A.L. East, the Yankees, three games back. The Guardians on top of the central, the twins in second place, five games back. The Mariners on top of the West, the Astros just two games back now. The Phillies have a seven and a half game lead over the Braves and Ashley East, the Brewers, a four and a half game lead on the Cardinals and the N.L. Central and then the Dodgers, a seven and a half game lead over the Padres and wild card. If the season were to end today would be this. I mentioned the Orioles, Guardians, Mariners will all be in by winning the divisions and it would still be the Yankees. The twins and dot dot dot the fucking Red Sox. Hey, good on them. The Royals is a game and a half back of that one in the national league would be the Phillies, the Dodgers and the Brewers would be your division winners. And then the wild card right now would be the Braves, Cardinals and Padres with the Diamondbacks, Mets, two and a half games back in the Giants three and a half games back. A cool post on Instagram that will Clark. I'll say will Clark put up there. No filter network put up there. Oh, well Clark talking about the potential additions that the Giants have coming back that will help them tremendously down the stretch. So I still think that N.L. wild card is wide open up Pete. What's up, dude? And yes, Biggity Biscuit threw pretty well last night, man. He, uh, he looked good. They're going to, they're up against it. They're just, they're underdogs.
