beyond ** everything else ** about that, gambling's rise will only continue and it's a little easier to maintain integrity, or "integrity," when they're in your employ and happily compensated.

Asked if Zohran Mamdani represents the soul of the Democratic Party, Hakeem Jeffries replies: "The Democratic Party is of course extremely diverse ... it's represented by people like Mikie Sherrill" and "Abigail Spanberger."

"I haven't spoken to Zohran since the shutdown started"

Gotta figure the average postseason start that year was 6-7 innings, and it’s probably like 4.5 this year.

Why would a billionaire want a functioning paper? Functioning papers cover shit like “did you know this billionaire makes his workers pee into bottles instead of taking a break” and “you pay way more tax than a guy with ten yachts”

Lmao WaPo has fewer than 100K circulation now. It turns out “alienate your liberal subscriber base” is not a good strategy when the Republicans also hate you. www.forbes.com/sites/andyme...

Carlos Vargas giving the #mariners an uneventful inning here is the kind of lower-level contribution championship teams need. We shall see!

People like this have two options:
1) Continue living happily in your nice home.
2) Sell your nice home and fuck off.

Either way you are welcome to shut the fuck up!

really wish the blue jays would wear their whites at home. the royal and aqua are really popping here, but feels a little Dunedin-Peoriaesque. The contrast with the whites would be clean.

If the #Orioles fancy Ryan Flaherty, you wonder if they suddenly have competition with the #Padres, where 'Flash' was bench coach from 2020-23. Either way, Flaherty is now get-able with the Cubs eliminated.

This should be an exciting NLCS but either way, it's certain to become one of the most politicized as baseball's labor holy war lumbers into view.

MLB's labor war is coming. The Brewers-Dodgers NLCS will be cannon fodder.

NLCS featuring Dodgers and Brewers could signal so much more than just a playoff series.
