Julian who? Assange, Mr. President. The Patriot? No that’s Edelman. … WikiLeaks’ Julian Assange was arrested in London after parking himself in an Ecuadoran Embassy for seven years. This just in. Chicago prosecutor Kim Foxx is heading to London to work a deal in which the charges will be dropped if Assange does 16 hours of community service and pays (or not) $130,000 for dragging the embassy through the mud. At that point he can resume his position in the WikiLeaks “Empire.”

Two starts, two no-decisions for the Nationals’ Patrick Corbin. Newest member of the rotation pitched well for six innings, twice against the Mets. Pirates visit D.C. this weekend. Trevor Williams (1-0, 2.25) after a pair of quality starts, goes for the Bucs. Good matchup but it’s the Nats who will break out the bats. 20 units on the Nationals.

Wild pitches, passed balls, fielding and throwing errors as well as a couple of Cards getting hit by pitches. Dodgers were a sloppy second, losing 11-7 in St. Louis. Walker Buehler and Michael Wacha were both shelled and removed after four innings or less. Loss leaves us at -89 hershisers.
