Quebec’s Charles Leblanc is settling in nicely in the MLB, impressing with his consistency since joining the big show 37 games ago.

On Monday night, Leblanc, who was batting second, hit his fourth long ball in the majors, along with a double, good for another huge performance .

In this matchup against the Chicago Cubs, he also produced two runs while playing at first base for a rare time in the MLB.

Leblanc always finds a way to stand out and stay in the lineup as he has a .285/.323/.778 slash line, four bombs, 35 hits, ten runs scored and four stolen bases.

By the way, the Marlins demolished the Cubs 10-3, as the two clubs meet again on Tuesday night starting at 6:40 pm.

A new Skims campaign celebrates breasts in all their forms!

50 women from all walks of life as well as celebrities participated in the campaign.

Skims, Kim Kardashian‘s underwear company, recently came up with a brand new campaign to celebrate the launch of a bra collection, and it looks great! A few celebrities participated in the campaign, such as actress Brooke Shields and singer Becky G, but what is more noticeable is the participation of 50 women from all walks of life and all ages.

Several videos have been shared on Skims’ Instagram account, and we can see the different participants confiding in each other about their relationship with their bodies and breasts. A nice diversity is present, and the cast even includes a woman who suffered from breast cancer.

Actress Chelsea Handler, one of the campaign’s headliners, explains that “it took her 40 years to really understand that [her] breasts are great.” And in a way, we understand that feeling! Breasts have multiple functions and can cause discomfort and even dysmorphia. Living with your breasts can be difficult at times, and it will be different for each person.

Of course, we don’t lose sight of the fact that this is a nice marketing stunt for Kim Kardashian’s company, but in today’s society, it’s still refreshing and inspiring to see women from different backgrounds and with unique bodies being put forward like this. It reminds us that all bodies are beautiful, no matter their shape or color.

Skims’ new line of bras will launch on September 27th with 15 different styles in a neutral color palette. In Canada, the Skims brand can be purchased online or in-store at Holt Renfrew.

“Just Like Taylor Swift”: Kanye West thinks something is very wrong

Kanye West is once again furious, as he regularly takes to his Instagram account to pour his bile on various people and companies (Adidas, for example).

The new victims, his own clan, would, according to West, try to sell his music catalog without his knowledge.

Once again, Kanye is not consulted in a case that directly concerns him, it seems.

According to reports, West’s representatives have met with potential buyers without informing the principal. They are exploring the prices they could get for the rapper’s discography and the price is around $175 million (US).

Capture

“Just like Taylor Swift. My edition is for sale without my knowledge. Not for sale,” he pushed on his Instagram story.

It should be noted that Swift saw her ex-manager Scooter Braun sell the masters of it without her knowledge to the Big Machine Label Group for $300 million.

Aaron Judge in Babe Ruth and Roger Maris’ company

Aaron Judge got his 60th homer Tuesday night against the Pittsburgh Pirates, making him the sixth player in MLB history to reach that insane plateau.

https://twitter.com/Yankees/status/1572413283843334146

The gentle giant wearing the number 99, a rare occurrence in Major League Baseball, allowed himself to get to Babe Ruth and Roger Maris, two of the greatest in MLB’s storied history.

Ruth, also with the New York Yankees in 1927, was the first to slam 60 bombs in the Majors, with much less “straight” bats than today.

As for Maris, he broke Babe’s record with a total of 61 home runs, slammed with the New York Yankees in 1962, taking first place (in the American League).

So Judge has time to outpace BIG Maris as the Yankees have 15 games left on the regular schedule. If the trend continues, Judge could become the most powerful hitter in American League history.

https://twitter.com/TalkinYanks/status/1572414048297418753

This is quite a feat, as Maris’ record is already 60 years old. Baseball fans are in for a great story as a piece of history is being made.

In the National League, Barry Bonds (73), Mark McGwire (70) and Sammy Sosa (66) are at the top of the list with arms the size of trees.

However, they were among the names in the Mitchell Report, which revealed the massive use of performance drugs in the MLB.

Adam Levine caught in a cheating scandal

Famous singer Adam Levine finds himself in the middle of a cheating scandal.

Young model and Instababe Sumner Stroh confessed on her TikTok on September 19 that she supposedly had a relationship with the Maroon 5 star some time ago.

Adam has obviously been in a relationship with his wife, model Behati Prinsloo, since 2014.

Behati had just made the announcement of their upcoming third child.

Sumner’ s reported reasons for now exposing this supposed old story stem from a close friend. He would have tried to sell message exchanges between her and Levine to American tabloids.

A romance that she kept secret until now.

Adam Levine would have himself put oil on the fire by contacting her again to ask her this:

“Ok serious question. I’m having a new baby and if it’s a boy I’d really like to name him Sumner. Are you ok with that? I’m dead serious.”

@sumnerstroh

embarrassed I was involved w a man with this utter lack of remorse and respect. #greenscreen

♬ original sound – Sumner Stroh

She also adds in another video that at the time, Adam would have taken advantage of the fact that she was new to Los Angeles to manipulate her.

@sumnerstroh

Replying to @alanasanders89 addressing a few things I wish I had said in the first video

♬ original sound – Sumner Stroh

Adam of course denied the facts of a former affair with the young woman.

Here’s what he had to say on the subject via an Instagram story:

Who is telling the truth? Was it just a virtual fling or did he actually jump the fence?

Let’s bet that in the end no baby will be named Sumner 😂!

Blue Jays: This sequence went viral

Sep 18, 2022; Toronto, Ontario, CAN; Toronto Blue Jays designated hitter George Springer (4) scores on a single hit by Toronto Blue Jays shortstop Bo Bichette (not pictured) against the Baltimore Orioles during the third inning at Rogers Centre. Mandatory Credit: John E. Sokolowski-USA TODAY Sports

George Springer turned a sequence that happens many times in a baseball game into a joke.

The outfielder was on first base when Vladimir Guerrero Jr. received a free pass to first base (four balls) and Springer did a little feint to lighten the mood.

It wasn’t a base steal per se as the pitch became ball four.

Here is the comical moment in question.

Just to be clear, Springer had second base automatically because of the walk awarded to Vlad, so even if he was tagged out, he would not have been out. He just used the moment to have some fun!

In the end, the Jays lost 5-4 to the Baltimore Orioles and will begin a series against the Philadelphia Phillies.
