Hondo likes the Nat attack

The Big Red Choking Machine put the finishing touches on its gag job yesterday, but the Tigers kept Hondo from getting swept last night when they spanked the A’s to put the deficit at 1,270 schultzes.

Tonight, Mr. Aitch will give the nod to CC & Co. – 10 units on the Yankees. Also, he will go to Gio over Wainwright – 10 units on the Nationals.

Hondo heard a lot of talk yesterday about pictures of Paul Ryan lifting a dumbbell and couldn’t figure why, on the day of the Vice-Presidential debate, he would be picking up Joe Biden . . . Mike Francesa, a man for all topics, spent 20 minutes of yesterday’s show talking to NBC White House Correspondent Chuck Todd, who earlier yesterday declared that Biden has “gravitas.” So, apparently, “gravitas” now means the propensity to stick one’s foot in one’s mouth with such regularity that one’s nickname becomes “The Gaffe Machine.”
