Charles Leblanc is really coming into his own in the MLB

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.

Blue Jays: This sequence went viral

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.

Martin St-Louis is more popular than his players

Martin St-Louis has been a star, a hall of famer and the head coach of the Montreal Canadiens since he came in and took over a team that was flat and without identity.

Since his arrival, the former number 26 has established himself as the leader of the pack, the captain and the chief. In fact, his popularity is at a level never seen before in a Tricolore head coach. With Maurice Richard’s eyes, this man is more popular than his own players.

Like his players, he takes the necessary time with fans who want to get a picture or a signature from him.

By the way, some experts say that the TRUE captain of the blue-white-red boat is Martin St-Louis. At least, he is the perfect coach to guide Nick Suzuki in his development as captain of this mythical franchise.

A Michael Jordan jersey sold at a shocking price

An individual with very deep pockets has just purchased the jersey that Michel Jordan wore in a 1998 NBA Finals game for an eye watering sum of $10 million.

https://twitter.com/TMZ/status/1570496366962511874

The amount paid is precisely 10,000,091 dollars. A shocking price since experts had predicted that the jersey in question would sell for about… three million!

Of course, this price set many records, including the highest ever for an NBA jersey at auction. It is also the highest price for a Michael Jordan item.

Jordan wore this jersey against the Utah Jazz, in a game where he scored 33 points… and a few days later, won his 6th championship.

Anyway, for the moment, the identity of the buyer has not yet been revealed, which should be done within the next few hours.

Gisele Bündchen sent a clear message to Tom Brady

Tom Brady‘s wife,Gisele, was once again very clear about what to do next.

She firmly stated that it was HER turn to live her career to the fullest.

After spending her 30’s being a mother and wife, she now wants to re-launch her career as a supermodel.

Recently, through divorce rumors, she admitted her desire for Brady to be more present for her children and family.

After retiring for only 40 days, Brady reneged on his decision to play a 23rd campaign, angering Gisele, who wants to focus more on herself.

This widely publicized dispute could end in divorce since the couple’s recent trip to Costa Rica was by no means restorative, instead causing more friction between them, according to some sources in the Daily Mail.

The couple has been married since 2009 and has two children, Vivian Lake, nine, and Benjamin, 12.

Tom Brady did well in the turmoil

All eyes were on Tom Brady Sunday night as his team opened the 2022 campaign against the Dallas Cowboys.

How was the quarterback going to react after 40 days of retirement, 11 days of break and during a little couple bickering over his return to the game?

Well, he flat out tore up the Cowboys, showing that even with all that hullabaloo in mind and his age of 45, he was still in imperial form.

https://twitter.com/SportsCenter/status/1569138205550592006

Brady finished his night’s work with 212 passing yards, allowing his team to crush Dallas 19-3. He was able to maintain his perfect record against the Cowboys of seven wins.

In addition, he set another mark by becoming the oldest quarterback to start an NFL game.

He wasn’t ultra-dominant, but he showed that his “calculator” game was still on point and not too affected by the last few chaotic months.

Nick Suzuki becomes the 31st captain of the Montreal Canadiens

Nick Suzuki looks great with the new letter on his jersey.

Nick Suzuki became the 31st captain of the Montreal Canadiens, succeeding Shea Weber, who is “unofficially” retired, as his contract is now with the Vegas Golden Knights.

https://twitter.com/PFrioletRDS/status/1569310221062873089

Suzuki has the ability to play this role with rigor and seriousness. Especially since he is well respected in the dressing room by the young players as well as by veterans such as Joel Edmundson or Brendan Gallagher.

The announcement was made Monday morning by head coach Martin St-Louis as the Sainte-Flanelle held its annual golf tournament to kick off the 2022-23 campaign.

The number 14, who is only 23 years old, becomes the youngest captain in the history of the franchise, which is not an added pressure according to him.

True to form, Suz said it was an honour and a privilege to wear this letter of nobility with the Montreal Canadiens.

He is excited and ready to take on such a challenge with the Montreal Canadiens, and will be supported by two outstanding veterans in Gallagher and Edmundson.

UFC 279: Press conference canceled due to a general brawl

Dana White had to cancel the UFC 279 press conference in the middle of it due to a general brawl that broke out backstage!

https://twitter.com/LeParcours_off/status/1568132743279661058

The crowd sent up a ton of boos because of the sudden cut, but White couldn’t afford for it to get out of hand in order to keep everyone safe.

In the aftermath of the event, White clarified, without explaining in detail all the brouhaha, but by his account, it was VERY violent.

https://twitter.com/arielhelwani/status/1568035898423394304?s=20&t=AjmU9I0YmlgDsr9byoiwcg

White said four fighters were involved, including Kevin Holland and Khamzat Chimaev, who were the first to open that rumble with two other fighters.

The Diaz clan was also involved, as they showed up with 57 people…

This September 10 card is not in jeopardy at the moment, but that could quickly change if the guns aren’t put away.
