Congressional Republicans work hard to help Trump usurp Congress’s Constitutional authority, centering all tax, spending, and war-making power in the White House, then wonder why the president isn’t doing anything to help them keep their seats in the midterms.

This seems like the most straightforward and also basically accurate message.
instead of saying this was good strategy, maybe senate dems should say: "the republicans were going to kill people by starving them to death, and because we aren't monsters, we decided to let this fight go. We'll keep fighting. Stop electing monsters."

Wild ride - series was lost in games 3 & 4, and again in game 6. Can’t take it to a game 7 in their home ballpark. Going to be a pivotal offseason, hard to imagine making this team better without spending lots of $$. #GoMs

Been having issues with tv audio- no dsp through my Yamaha receiver, center channel fading out, etc. Before springing for a new receiver, did some testing/messing around and it’s my FireTV stick. Tried another one and everything works!

Fox broadcaster mics keep cutting out. Anyone else, or are we just happy to not have to listen to Smoltz?

#Mariners - re: Woo - if it's 3-1 going into game 5, I might think about patching together an opener/going to Miller/etc and save Woo for World Series gm 1 - hard to gamble on taking it back to Toronto if you lose, but ... (of course just win gms 3 and 4 and then Woo is set up for WS gm 1!!!)

Is there any reason for the “ineligible man downfield” penalty? What harm does it cause the defense?

The Astros lost 5-1. They are 84-73.
The lineup managed three singles. Seattle's magic number to clinch the AL West is 1. Houston is a game back of the third AL Wild Card spot, but doesn't have the tiebreaker over Detroit or Cleveland.

Woohoo! Josh Naylor to the #Mariners for Brandyn Garcia and Ashton Izzi! This is my #1 trade hope (but hopefully there's 2 or 3 more to come!)

The Astros won 2-1. They are 5-6.
Victor Caratini's 12th-inning single chased home the winning run. Seattle went 1-for-19 with runners in scoring position and struck out 19 times against Astros pitching.
