And in case you missed it late last night/early this morning, @jayjaffe.bsky.social offered his thoughts on Kyle Tucker's deal with the Dodgers:

Say it with me, we need more female voices in leading roles in commentary booths across every level of Baseball. Loved that last year's (very tentative, first steps) MLB games broadcast by the BBC had Melanie Newman in the leading seat for the UK.

here's the 60 minutes cecot video part 1 of 5 - recorded/uploaded by and all credit to @jasonparis.bsky.social I just reduced background noise, chopped the 14 minutes into 3 minute segments each compressed under 100 mb for bsky's limits, cropped and rotated a few degrees for easier viewing on here

Football is rigged. And rigged aggressively. Las Vegas has ruined this sport for me. I can no longer enjoy it in any capacity. Catches are subjective, penalties are only called if it keeps the spread on the table, and every official has some kind of agenda-based blindness. I hate the @NFL

I just can’t watch the NFL any more. Catches don’t make sense, penalties happen anytime the refs need to keep the spread close. At least wrestling is honest with its audience. I love the Packers, but I just cannot be convinced this sport isn’t rigged because ever time I watch it, it’s rigged.

@greenbaypackers.bsky.social please fire LaFleur. We are all sick of this crap week in and week out, season after season. He can’t win big games and he struggles to win easy games. Please fire him and put someone else in. And MAYBE this team can do something other than waste our time each week.

IYKYK…it’s almost time. #Princemas

Imagine dominating your opponents the first two weeks of the season…then looking at that and going, “That didn’t work, let’s play to not lose every week.” I usually don’t do this, but I think Matt LaFleuer should’ve fired. The @greenbaypackers.bsky.social are truly embarrassing right now.

@heavyjstudios.bsky.social (Ron Howard voiceover) But in fact, they were done.

You know what…bring on robo-umps. This Brewers v Cubs game is a joke. A very unfunny joke. Like a 12 year old telling The Aristocrats. Like a 5 year old telling you a knock knock joke they just made up.

Pulled out the acrylics for my daughter and she had a bunch of paint left over so I made a Satch portrait. #acrylicpainting #portrait #SatchelPaige #liquitex

Shame on me for believing in the Packers. I knew better, and I fell for it anyway. Two games to lure us in, and now a season of mediocrity and disappointment. Terrible coaching. Terrible QB play. They’re bad. And they should feel bad.

On this day in 1935, Mamie “Peanut” Johnson was born in Ridgeway, SC. The first woman to pitch in the Negro Leagues, she learned her curveball from Satchel Paige. Here’s a color study of her with the Indianapolis Clowns in 1954. Man, I wish there were more images of Mamie out there.

Authoritarians thrive on your silence — be loud — for America.

We were going to do another big marketing stunt for THE TOXIC AVENGER UNRATED. Instead, Toxie, whose life was upended by crushing medical bills, has joined forces with Undue Medical Debt to erase at least $5 million in un-payable medical debt for those who need it most. Learn more:

What a great time to remind everyone that @played41.bsky.social and I (with Artistic Integrity Records) have re-released her 1978 debut album "Nancy Faust At The Game" digitally and on CD! It's available here, either autographed or unsigned: artisticintegrityrecords.bandcamp.com/album/air-04...

Being a @milwaukeebrewers.bsky.social fan is pointless. A pointless excercise in futility. Can’t wait for that first round playoff exit…again… And for the 56th consecutive season, going home empty handed. I hate this organization. HATE. And I’ve loved them my whole life. But today, pure hatred.

Chuck Mangione and Dock Ellis celebrate opening Day at Yankee Stadium, 1977.

I love when my team is the best in baseball, won 11 in a row, but the MLB Network spends 15 minutes at the top telling me which Blue Jays players connect to Canadian cuisine. Baseball media is just troublesome for me…sorry to all of my friends who are apart of it, but Bo Bichette is not sushi pizza

This is gonna be SO rad. Stoked for everyone involved here, including Nancy, Dan and myself (because I get to own one). Pick one up, yo!!! artisticintegrityrecords.bandcamp.com/album/air-04...

My tribute to Dave Parker, an icon who had as much charisma and swagger as any player of his era, and who late in life while battling Parkinson’s frankly addressed the mistakes he made during his career. Sadly, he passed away less than a month before his induction into the Hall of Fame

Congrats to @heavyjstudios.bsky.social, winner of the 2025 Doug Pappas Award for the best oral research presentation at #SABR53. Watch our calendar for a chance to see “The ‘Savior’ Does Not Answer Letters: Dave Hoskins and the Uneven, Unheralded, and Unfinished Integration of the Texas League.”

Rest in Peace, Cobra. 🐍

King Kong, Redid one of the original movie posters to make the focus more about Fay Wray. She is THE star you associate with this film. Fun to remix Denzel Washington from Training Day. "King Kong ain't got shit on me!" with Game Weird but fun, but so am I, so I guess it's appropriate. #cardsky
