Brewers no match for these Dodgers. Not sure anybody is when they’re as full strength as they are now. Blowing away the competition even after banishing Conforto and Scott and their combined $33 million in salary. Most key guys for LA signed thru 2029, some even longer. Scary.

Quick, Yankees, get Doval up! 🥶🫣

Possibly, but I’m sure Bengie has given Yadi some thoughts on the merits of SF.

Hey, Giants, please don’t go backward in time and be bold. Here’s a name that needs to be on your list: Yadier Molina. Clean slate, bright future, hungry, friendship and kismet with Posey, a strong Hispanic presence for Devers, Adames and others, could take Bailey to new heights.

I wouldn’t feel too sorry for Bob Melvin. He’s getting a $5 million going-away package. But will he manage again? After five stops at age 63, it’s an interesting question. The A’s would likely take him back if Mark Kotsay left for some reason, but it’s hard to see that happening.

Just a few months after San Francisco shipped him up to Boston, Kyle Harrison has a chance to be the winning pitcher in a game at Fenway that sends the Red Sox to the postseason.

Here's @davidlaurila.bsky.social on the adjustments Harrison has made with his new team:

The erstwhile San Francisco southpaw has augmented his repertoire since switching coasts.

I don’t know about anybody else, but I’m getting damned sick and angry of being labeled a corrupt radical left Democrat, which Trump and Co. seems to want to apply to ALL Democrats. That’s going to backfire badly.

Carl Steward @stewardsfolly.bsky.social · 18d

Why doesn’t Trump just save time and ask the Supreme Court if he can get away with absolutely everything? This horrible kangaroo court is grossly complicit in destroying the Constitution and the legal foundations of our country. Scary.

Best case scenarios for MLB playoffs heading into final weekend based on payroll: Top 10 payrolls: 8 teams (6 already assured). Second 10: 4 possible, but more likely 2. Third 10: 3, but more likely 2. Salary cap anybody? NFL does not have this buy-your-way-in issue.

Me, too. No need to stay up past 11 if you only want to see Kimmel or Colbert monologues. On YouTube three hours earlier here.

Carl Steward @stewardsfolly.bsky.social · 20d

I get it that some urban markets don’t want to air Jimmy Kimmel but Seattle and Portland? I would expect more pushback to affiliates in those distinctly “blue,” freedom-conscious cities.

Agree on Plunkett as well, particularly after all the physical punishment through no fault of his own he had to take on crappy Patriots teams.

Nice to see Frank Gore up for the Pro Football Hall of Fame but if Gore gets in before Roger Craig, something’s wrong. It’s been wrong for years regarding Craig, as those who watched and chronicled him closely fully understand.

Horrible sports development: pro and college pre- and post-game panel shows trying to duplicate the irreverent vibe of Inside The NBA. Now you get no real information and lame attempts at humor. It’s like all the other insurance companies that that try to make a GEICO commercial.

This is great and hilarious. Such a fabulous comeback to censorship. youtu.be/HMGD1KCYFOw?...

So when is the FCC going to shut down Jesse Watters for his nightly load of bullshit?

The Great Waldo Pepper. Don’t go by the tepid reviews from 50 years ago. It was made in the 1970s when the competition was tough and lighter fare didn’t get its just due. Robert Redford at his most carefree. And the biplane aerial scenes are still dazzling.

Indeed. Tell it to JFK, RFK (Sr.), Martin Luther King, Medgar Evers, and just last month, these Minnesota Democratic leaders. Another Democratic couple were wounded.

Why do TV news shows give Apple so much publicity for its technology updates? It’s a ruse.

If this was a boxing match, they’d stop this Oregon-Oklahoma State game. 68-3 … and it’s still the third quarter after back-to-back pick sixes.

I wish I could claim it, but I saw it somewhere else: Christian McCaffinjury.

Djokovic starting to look slow. Didn’t think that would ever happen. The 16 years between his age and that of Carlos Alcaraz is becoming obvious.
