One day we'll have a reckoning on this. Bullpen games in the playoffs are dishonorable.

Holy Christ did I really spell "throw" like that. Lack of sleep is wrecking me.

Pitch count should matter less than pitch type. I through 60 straight fastballs and that's way more damaging than 90 change-ups.

Due to the environmental effects of LLM-use, I've begun sexting with real humans as a conservation effort. I believe that I am the first to ever do it.

Russell Wilson's entire post-Seahawks career (except Pittsburgh, I guess) has been him getting mercilessly booed by fans and coaches freaking out when he does something wrong.

How do I say this publicly...

I think the obvious goal is to... start something, to justify more usage of things, and potentially to "take care of" American citizens indiscriminantly.

Utterly insane that pedaling nonsense about the destruction of American cities could be easily debunked through the millions of street cameras and yet, here we are.

Sometimes I think about how John Rocker said this and got suspended 28 games (reduced to 14) by Bud Selig, but in today's world he'd quite conceivably be facing even less of a suspension and he'd have a wildly popular podcast.

In a story published in the December 27, 1999, issue of Sports Illustrated, Rocker made a number of allegations stemming from his experiences in New York City and answering a question about whether he would ever play for the New York Yankees or the New York Mets:

I'd retire first. It's the most hectic, nerve-wracking city. Imagine having to take the 7 Train to the ballpark looking like you're riding through Beirut next to some kid with purple hair, next to some queer with AIDS, right next to some dude who just got out of jail for the fourth time, right next to some 20-year-old mom with four kids. It's depressing... The biggest thing I don't like about New York are the foreigners. You can walk an entire block in Times Square and not hear anybody speaking English. Asians and Koreans and Vietnamese and Indians and Russians and Spanish people and everything up there. How the hell did they get in this country?

The only team with more multi-turnover games in the Mike Macdonald era are the Cleveland Browns.
