Here’s an idea. If the government is going to start up another subsidy program, they should consider the Uber Eats type businesses. This would probably keep more people at home and also attract more business for the restaurant industry.

I’m guessing we’ll be reading about this kid and his girlfriend again soon. Maybe something along the lines of “Baby dies in car while parents play pachinko.”

Ohtani may have just cracked the code for Japanese pitchers to succeed and have some longevity in the MLB. Put down the rosin bag and pick up the bat.
