“Punk-ass b—-es from the right call me ‘Fredo.’ My name is Chris Cuomo. Fredo was from ‘The Godfather.’ He was a weak brother. It’s a f—ing insult to your people. It’s like the N-word for us.” This is CNN! TV “kiss of death” for Cuomo? Doubtful. Fact is he is now the favorite to grand marshal next year’s Columbus Day.

Rained out on Monday, the Astros and White Sox played two Tuesday evening. Tired teams will play their third game in 22 hours so the lineup cards may be altered. Surely Chicago’s Ross Detwiler wouldn’t mind if a couple of Houston’s big guns sat this one out. Ross has been stung by the long ball in back-to-back losses. Astros’ Wade Miley is now 11-4 after winning for us Friday. Stingy Miley has allowed a total of three runs over his last 16 ²/₃ innings. Playing with fire playing prohibitive faves, so don’t try this at home. 20 units on the Astros.

Wheels fell off the Mets bandwagon early and they played catch-up all night. Zack Wheeler was hit hard, allowing five runs over five innings and the Braves held on 5-3. Dodgers won 15-1 but sat Clayton Kershaw, wiping our win bet. Loss leaves us at -536 corleones.
