Not Team USA losing to Germany at the FIBA World Championships...  

Just like in 2021 and 2022, the Braves winning the Division means that the Mets did something wrong. 

And Laura Siegemund - after all her drama in that match last week - just lost in the Women's Doubles Final and comes away with nothing.  

Yes; Congratulations to Coco on winning the US Open!

MADISON KEYS CHOKED!

Sabalenka prematurely celebrating winning the tiebreaker at 7-3 is exactly why I hate the 10-point tiebreaker...

Big ups to Ben Shelton, who just scored a big "W" over Alexei Popyrin.  A win in a hostile environment like that was going to be hard to come by, especially since Popyrin had become the Reznor of the fortress known as John Cain Arena.  

And now Shelton just knocked off Big Foe on Ashe.  

If you thought this atmosphere was electric, just wait until he faces Novak on Friday...  

I think Shelton can handle the pressure of the big stage.

Laslo Djere CHOKED LOLOLOL!   , he actually thought he could beat Novak.   #FOH

So, not only are we 23.5 games out of First Place and were sellers at the Trading Deadline, but we just got SWEPT by the first-place Braves in a doubleheader, with one of the games having a scoreline of 21-3.

 

Oh, and we're a half-game away from last place in the NL East.

 

I must be living in bizarro world right now.

Welcome to Bizarro World, everyone: The Mets are officially in last place.   

(Also, where did the original "fear" emoji go? )

Tickets to the first week of the US Open [the day sessions, at least] are so much more expensive than the first week of last year's tourney...

Welp...  Novak lost...

Another GS Final, another "L"...  #welp

I wasn't expecting Ons to lose today, but she just made way too many unforced errors and conceded too many break points...

The US Open is over a month away, but this frustration is going to make it feel like a long time. 

...and hopefully a new tour somewhere down the road 

Congratulations to Vlad Jr on getting his long-awaited HR Derby Title.  

I'm just glad that Julio Rodriguez didn't win.  Nothing against him; he defeated Pete Alonso fair-and-square (and I'm sure that J-Rod a class act), but the amount of fans who were over-the-moon to see Alonso fail, just simply rubbed me the wrong way.  #sour

Tomorrow would be Day 4 of Wimbledon. There are STILL several first-round matches that have yet to be played lol.  

Nakashima CHOKED! 

And Coco got prematurely eliminated by Kenin 

I'm happy for Mmoh, but I'm a little bit concerned for FAA; it just hasn't been his year... 

Ons Jabeur begins her quest to return to the Wimbledon Final tomorrow; hopefully she can lift the Trophy this time. 

Kyrgios just pulled out of Wimbledon
