According to Star Trek canon, MLB folds in 2042. So let’s enjoy baseball while we can.
Really worried about Mr. Met. Looks like he’s just one more piece of bad news away from…well, you know.

I really thought Walters was going to be A Guy.
Instead, his biggest contribution to Washington Nationals canon ended up being this:

If I were Brandon Nimmo, I’d be *incredibly* pissed right now.
But also, if I were Brandon Nimmo, when the Mets informed me that they no longer wanted me on the team and would I mind terribly waiving my no-trade clause, I would have told David Stearns to go fuck himself.

The Mets lost their closer over $3 million and deferrals? What’s the point of being Steve Cohen if you’re not going to do Steve Cohen shit?
By comparison, he once paid over $140 million for this hideous statue. That’s two Edwin Diazes!

Dan Snyder Bobblehead Day?

I get that it’s Jim Bowden and so this is just baseball writer fan-fic. But the fact that he felt comfortable even suggesting that a plausible return for Gore would be SF’s #7 and #11 prospects, is annoying.
Luckily, the Ford trade shows that Toboni isn’t the pushover Bowden apparently envisions.

Potentially the most powerful technology ever created and this is mostly what it’s being used for.
Okay, the Danny Masterson thing made me laugh.

Being AJ Preller on a tight budget must really suck.
I’d say the Padres should keep their money and just trade for MacKenzie Gore. But…trade what?

Over the past 30 years, the only person I can remember having an issue with Quentin Tarantino is Spike Lee. So it’s weird that Tarantino decided to shit on some fairly popular actors this past week.
I mean, how do you not like Matthew Lillard? Do you realize how many shitty movies he’s made better?

The first TNG miniseries published by DC had a Christmas story. It was about as terrible as you might expect.

The former Washington MLB team just did the current one a huge solid.

I doubt the MLBPA will budge on their objection to a salary cap. And I don’t really blame them. But I wonder if they could weaponize the idea against the owners. Like “Sure, we’ll agree to a $250M cap. If the floor is $200M,” and then watch the Bob Nuttings of the league lose their shit.

It’s funny that the #RestoretheSnyderverse gang has been clinging to the—I’ll be generous here and say slim instead of nonexistent—chance that Netflix could make more Zack Snyder DC films, and literally just days before that path at least theoretically opened up, this happens.

Speaking of former Red Sox prospects who could have been Nationals, I really hope that Toboni is as big of a Blaze Jordan fan as I am.

Anyway, this is maybe my favorite example of why watching movies as a kid is better than watching movies as an adult.
As a kid, the reveal of the killer blew my little boy mind. If I was watching this for the first time now, I’d be like “It’s that guy” in the first ten minutes.

Somewhat crazy that it’s nearly 2026 and no one has come up with a better way to clean windows than this. We can equip a drone with rockets but not a squeegee?

Solid candy. As a nation, we’ve allowed Reese's, Snickers and M&Ms to dominate the discourse. When is the last time you heard anyone say “You know what I really appreciate? A good Kit Kat.”

Honestly, I’m with Nuzzi on this one. You can visit the baseball hall of fame. You can visit the football hall of fame. Why would you not be able to visit the WWE Hall of Fame? Jesus, put it in Orlando. It’d get a million paying visitors a year.
Someone get me a pitch meeting with Triple H.

Also, “a few years” is pretty bleak.
I don’t know if I agree with the premise, though. Rizzo and Davey were fired because their incompetence became impossible to ignore. A good return for Gore and/or Abrams, plus the Lerners honoring their promise to spend, could see a return to contention in 2027.

I’m not saying you deserve to be mugged if you show up in a foreign country wearing a $4,000 chain.
But I’m not not saying it, either.
