August, the Boss Battle
The Friday newsletter faces down the Most Month with a stiff upper lip and a killer sandwich
New Action Cookbook Newsletter!
The whimsical part of summer is over, and we have reached August, the season's boss battle. It's hot, stinky and brutal--but it's also a terrific time for food and drink.
Y'know, like this Big Dumb Sandwich.

this is the second trade I've seen ESPN refer to as a "blockbuster" today (after Mason Miller) and I know you have to work with the news you have but no. Correa has a .700 OPS this year. This is not a blockbuster.
