Sen. Ted Cruz defeated ABC late-night comedy host Jimmy Kimmel in a game of one-on-one b-ball. Game was played for charity after Kimmel tweeted Cruz “looked like a blobfish” while attending the NBA Finals. Cruz won 11-9, and has moved up the Knicks’ draft board. Clyde Frazier, informed of Knicks’ intentions warned they were “cruzin for a bruzin.” Nice job by Kimmel covering the 3-point spread. … Kathy “Desperado” Griffin threw the F-bomb at Melania Trump in addition to labeling her a “feckless, complicit piece of s–t.” Last-ditch effort to save her career may work as she and Samantha Bee may play a little two-on-two against Melania and Ivanka. No line set yet on the Severed Bloody Head Classic.

Tigers sinker-baller Michael Fulmer is on top of his game. He has yielded one run in each of his past two starts. Detroit is in Cincinnati. 20 units on the Tigers.

“Did you win, Stitches?” Sure did, Paulina Gretzky. Cubs edged the Dodgers 2-1. Kris Bryant scoring in the 10th inning after lacing a triple. W has us at -963 monroes.
