“We love Joe!”

Late start for 81-year-old Joe Biden at the Democratic Convention on Monday night.

The president was penciled in to bat ninth.

Nancy Pelosi made out the lineup card, then held up the “We love Joe” cue card.

Forty-one-year-old Justin Verlander, truly loved by the Space City faithful, will make his return to the mound after missing more than two months with “neck discomfort.”

Pain in the neck Pelosi had nothing to do with it.

Verlander gave up eight runs in 10 innings prior to going on the IL.

The Red Sox are in Houston.

Cooper Criswell punch line, excuse me, pitching line, reads: eight runs, 12 hits, two K’s, four walks in his past four innings.

And yet … he’s 1-0 in those two outings.

Verlander has pitched 3,382 regular-season innings.

We hope he throws just three or four here.

Taking the Red Sox for $50.

I love Austin Gomber like Nancy Pelosi loves Joe Biden, but Gomber allowed one run over seven innings and the Rockies KO’d the Nats, 3-1.

Winner.
