I'd say if you are handed an opponent who killed 400,000 people, stole classified documents, was a convicted felon, a rapist, and fomented a coup to overturn his previous loss, then can't beat him because of your own fucking disorganization, quit.

You created the doorways to my favorite movies.

I cannot *personally* imagine this, but one of the things I love about baseball is that there are sickos who will do this.

Imagine making a career out of intentionally letting a 90+ mph projectile hit you.

If you'll excuse me, I need to go outside, swear about Dusty Baker, then go to bed and cry.

He got hit by a pitch in 7.8% of his plate appearances that year.

The league average walk rate that season was 8.2%

Absolute mad man.

Sometimes I wonder at how many Republican assholes realize -not would be surprised- how many people will celebrate when it happens for them, simply because they made their goal in life to make things more difficult for people.

Justice Thomas has been the leading voice against substantive due process for decades. So I am just shocked - shocked! - to find him joining a statement where parents have fundamental rights over their kids' identity in disregard of various customs, traditions, and history.

NEW: The Supreme Court will not hear a case over a Colorado school district’s alleged actions discouraging disclosure of students’ gender identity to the students’ parents.

The case was a bad vehicle for considering the issue, even Alito, Thomas, and Gorsuch note.

Same, but for Jed Hoyer.

Then today I read someone stupid enough to think the Cubs would sign Alex Bregman.

In any other profession a 10% or 20% success rate would end your career.

If you’re raising your kids out in the suburbs, one day they’re going to ask you while you’re out for a walk, why your neighbors all have empty, mildewed plastic boxes that say “The Washington Post” bolted to their mailbox posts.

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...

The Washington Post Is Running Out Of Readers Willing To Pay

Once a titan of American journalism, The Washington Post now struggles to reach even 100,000 print subscribers most days.

"The NBA sucks these days, all they do is shoot 3s!"

Ok unathletic asshole, you hurl a sphere from 24 feet at an 18 inch 10 foot high circle with someone flailing at you.

People have no idea how good these players are.

Jalen Pickett drains a tough, contested triple...

...then drives in for a reverse layup using some really crafty moves to use his body and the rim to prevent his shot from getting blocked with the 6'11" Yanic Niederhauser draped over his back

His bag ain't flashy, but he has it
