Hall of Fame quarterback Brett Favre on his weekly Sirius XM Radio show speculated that the benched Eli Manning hated Daniel Jones’ masterpiece. “You have to think deep down, a part of him, didn’t want to see Jones fail, but not play at the level he did.” And Favre, deep down, say about waist high, must have hated that masterpiece he threw to Jenn Sterger years ago.

Final weekend’s upon us. Rays have raised their game but are not “in” yet and will have to finish the job in Toronto. Tyler Glasnow has made three limited starts since returning from the injured list. Seems to have picked up where he left off before the injury. Shut out the Angels and Red Sox over a combined six innings in his last two starts, lowering his ERA on the year to 1.92. Jays are focused on next year and rookie T.J. Zeuch should be a part of the 2020 plan, but he surrendered nine runs over 17 ²/₃ innings in a year packed with growing pains. More to come. Tampa Bay needs the game. Play 20 units on the Rays.

Scalped! The Indians, in a game they needed to keep pace in the wild-card race, were beaten 8-0 by the White Sox. James McCann and Daniel Palka hit homers off Aaron Civale. Costly loss. Down -969 chiefwahoos.
