Sports this 'n' that

 I'll let Brian Tyler Cohen paint the word picture for our first entry:

Donald Trump and that self-serving, shiznit eating grin had no business at MetLife Stadium other than to bigfoot the moment for Chelsea. He had to have a photo op. Wife Melania was likely waiting to go home, and Dumb Donald overstayed his welcome, not even taking the hint when he was booed out of the joint. I'll bet anything at all he never played soccer, and if he claims he did, he'd, of course, be lying, since he would amount to little more than a waterboy on the pitch in his youth, anyway.

The Boston Red Sox go into the All Star break on a 10 game winning streak, and suddenly, they're back in the thick of the AL East race.

But, that ain't all.

All Star Alex Bregman was a winner at the race track, too, on Sunday.

Bregman co-owns Governor Sam, who won the Quick Call stakes Sunday at Saratoga. We'll have more on this over at Tri-City SportsBeat. This marks the 2nd straight year a horse with ties to baseball has won at the Old Spa.

Injuries are a reality in pro wrestling, just like everything else. Saturday's smorgasbord of action ended with two top stars ending up on the shelf.

During AEW's All In event in Arlington, Texas, TNT champion Adam Cole (Austin Jenkins) vacated the title due to injury. It would later be reported that Cole has suffered his 2nd major concussion since signing with AEW a couple of years ago. The last one kept him out of the ring for nearly a year, and, aware that this might end his career, Cole told the crowd that he wasn't sure what the future would hold. Can't blame him. He's also had foot problems since coming from NXT.

Later Saturday, WWE's Saturday Night's Main Event saw men's Money in The Bank winner Seth Rollins (Colby Lopez) suffer a knee injury during his match vs LA Knight (Shaun Rickert). Knight, on an audible, won the match after Rollins consulted with manager Paul Heyman and ref Jessika Carr. 

Rollins has had a history of knee & back issues, and even worked with a torn meniscus in his left knee during last year's Wrestlemania. The worst case scenario is that Rollins may have torn the ACL in his right knee, and could be gone until next April. He stayed in Atlanta to support his wife, Becky Lynch (Rebecca Quin-Lopez) during Evolution last night, and is set to meet with doctors in Birmingham, Alabama today.

A 2nd WWE talent definitely has a torn ACL, and will be out until next year. Aria Bennett, currently assigned to the Evolve division, blew out her knee in training recently. Prayers for speedy recoveries for all concerned.

===========================================================

The starters for Tuesday's MLB All Star Game were announced Sunday. 

Detroit's Tarik Skubal, the reigning AL Cy Young Award winner, will oppose Pittsburgh's 2nd year phenom, Paul Skenes.

Predictably, some pitchers previously announced for the game have withdrawn due to having pitched on Saturday, including Jacob deGrom (Texas) and Max Fried (Yankees), the latter of whom left Saturday's game vs. the Cubs with a blister. Karma?
