Opening day at the U.S. Open. If you’re going to boo Naomi Osaka for winning, cheer Serena Williams for threatening the umps or are just cuckoo for Coco Gauff, be ready to pay. An 8-ounce water will run you about a dollar an ounce. Bottled, of course, in the great city of Newark, New Jersey.

Real uniforms, real names return. Black-and-white weekend is over and we can watch the Cards and Brewers in living color. Gio Gonzalez starts for the Brew Crew. Shoulder issues have limited his workload to 59 innings this year. Pitched well when healthy. Redbirds’ Adam Wainwright gets a shot at redemption. Brewers put four runs on the board facing Wainwright last week before the St. Louis faithful could find their seats. Cards are on a tear and bring a four-game win streak. Believe they’ll make it five. 10 units on the Cards.

With Bryce Harper on paternity leave, the Phillies managed four hits but were up 2-0. Aaron Nola, nickname “Nols” or “El Phlopo,” gave way and the Marlins won 3-2. Nats cut our losses. Beat the Cubs 7-5 in 11 innings. “Ant” Rendon went 4-for-5 with a homer. Account at -879 goolagongs.
