So what exactly was Sonny Gray laughing at? The Yankee, who has bombed as a Bomber, gave up seven runs in 2 ²/₃ innings to the lowly O’s on Wednesday and was serenaded with boos as he headed for the showers.

A few theories: 1) J.A. Happ has hand, foot and mouth disease and he doesn’t. 2) NYCHA residents are no longer allowed to smoke while the system burns. 3) “Roseanne” spinoff “The Conners” sans Roseanne. 4) Mayor de Blasio serving jury duty. (I think that’s the winner) or 5) Stitches’ record.

Pirates haven’t given up on their season. Picked up Chris Archer before the trade deadline and he will make his first appearance in Pirates colors Friday evening. Cardinals are perched in the Steel City this weekend. 20 units on Pittsburgh.

These guys are good. The Sox went down 4-0, but scored eight times in the fourth inning and beat the Yanks 15-7. Jonathan Holder was charged with seven runs while failing to record an out. Steve Pearce with six RBIs. Win has us at -722 petrocellis.
