31 years later, still a banger.

The cool thing about John Kruk talking to a piece of felt wrapped around a human hand is that it is not immediately obvious which one is smarter.

As any casual observer could have predicted, Braden Shewmake just completely outpacing Chase Burns on the baseball diamond.

These Reds uniforms look like if you gave a six-year-old a box of crayons and told them to draw a team called "The Reds."

This was fun…so Vandy & Mizzou were playing in the fog & the umps really should have called it but Vandy hit what Trackman says was a home run & the umps ruled otherwise because reasons 🤷‍♂️…game suspended to this afternoon at 5E/4C. #NCAABaseball #baseball #SEC

Is anyone I know going to the Rangers/Astros game a week from today?

I know there are a lot of people who could use a hand right now, but Matt is doing everything he can to improve his life and keep a positive attitude after a wildfire wiped him out last year. Almost two months sober – that's gotta be worth ten bucks!

The thing that annoys me the most about AI "art" dweebs is the chronic lack of whimsy. Do you understand how funny it is to make a shitty meme with MS Paint or slapdash Photoshop skills? It's so much better than the finest quality that AI will ever manage to muster.

Death of the Equity Membership Candidacy program got me in the feels way more than Taft-Hartley ever could.

Timo thee Stalliomet.

You know what, actually, good looking out.

"Noted firearms enthusiast."

I have to admit, my former band reaching out to see if I'd like comps to their show at the Hollywood Bowl is a very impressive flex.

We gave you a Quantum Leap reboot and only seven of you watched it.

Anyway.

Ana Gasteyer and Rachel Dratch are both nominated for Tony awards and if they don't do some sort of nod to their seminal work, A Clusterfünke Christmas, it will be a real missed opportunity.

Beginning to look like "replace Framber Valdez with fifteen buckets of screws" was not the genius off-season plan it looked like at the time.

The only Met gala I recognize.

Flew out of St. Louis this morning with a parade of morose Dodgers fans and I wish I hadn't found so much joy in that.

Sean Burke is kind of annoying as a talent evaluator because you can't just be like, "Well all this guy needs to do is add a great fastball and he'll be a dude."

Currently taking a calculus class (don't ask) and annoying everyone around me by singing "concavity" to the tune of "Macavity: The Mystery Cat" at every opportunity.

Nice to see Reggie Dinkins getting a second season. It's so hard these days for comedies to get enough time to find their footing. IDK if the subject matter will sustain, but Tracy Morgan is a joy no matter the material.

Lance McCullers Jr. (HOU) struck out nine and walked four over six innings with three earned runs

I miss the good ol' days, when we used to call "Dustin Harris" "Cooper Hummel."

For those of you in jobs where coffee meetings are a thing: If someone says "we should grab coffee," what time of day do you imagine that happening? I think I'm way off consensus here.

Summer of George back on.

I know it's en vogue to dunk on the male loneliness epidemic but goddamn is it hard to make and keep friends as an adult man.

oh shit no it was this!!! omg i found it on my insta archive!!!!

Guy that thinks "hulking out" is a slang for masturbation: My wife has been missing for three days. I'm so worried about her. I filed a police report but haven't heard anything. (This would have been funnier if he was talking about masturbation but you happened to catch him at a really bad time)

The Stormers have won exactly one game, and it was their first game of the season. In five games since then, they've been outscored 63-12.

A friend and colleague just posted her wedding photos and the caption is like, "Thank you to everyone who let me have a few days off of work so I could enjoy wedding week," and I cannot express to you how much we should not have to identify ourselves through work in this way.

It has never once occurred to me to give a single fuck what "a bunch of people on Bluesky" think, or why they think it.

Choosing local when buying books is more than just where you shop: You’re protecting creativity. You’re defending the freedom to read. You’re uplifting diverse voices. You’re investing in neighbors. Today, and every day, we celebrate and support indie bookstores. Happy Independent Bookstore Day!

I appreciate the consistency of the pitching staff the Astros have assembled this season.

So, have a bit of a weird one I'm working on right now and am sending up a signal flare. Do I happen to have any baseball-loving followers who are psychologists, behavioral scientists, neurologists or those who work in brain imaging? If so, shoot me a note please!

Every time I get on the subway, I worry that the "What's your take" guy will ask me and I'll panic and say some shit like that when the bathroom has a long line, tall guys should spread their legs at the urinal so short guys can get in behind them and double up.

I'm sorry, but TB saying this after his Ducks debut, in which it took him 93 pitches to get through four innings, is pretty funny. I would wait until my Atlantic League ERA was under 4.50 or my WHIP under 2 to whine about not getting a chance to pitch in the majors, but that's just me.

The Mike Clevinger stuff has been such an open secret over the last five years that I genuinely didn't even know it wasn't public knowledge. Truly, fuck that guy right alongside his bestie Bauer.

Eaton Fire of Jan 2025 destroyed the Altadena community. Matt lost ~$100K to the fire. (Eff GFM's AI-step goals.) It took him a year just to replace his tools. Now he needs materials to rebuild his home/help his neighbors rebuild. Anything is good. Pls RS/QS. Pls do what you can. #HelpFolksLive2026

I see a lot of people asking "Who is Daniel Johnson" and not enough people asking "How can we get MLB to let Daniel Johnson wear his 2019 Futures Game uniform for every game?

As far as I'm concerned, this is the only proper use case for AI.

90% of "great catch" posts are either bad reads or slow first steps. This ball is played perfectly and then it just... decides to try and land somewhere else. Excellent play by Julio.

Not to brag, but I was something of a Hot Topper myself back in the day.

Unfortunately, Paul Skenes immediately told this kid he was a disgrace to the Team USA uniform by being gracious.

They say Austin Hedges, but this seemed pretty straightforward to me.

More like Dalton Rushing to conclusions.

Not sure Wilmy will ever throw enough strikes to be a competitive arm, but the NYY pitching lab could do wonders for him. Meanwhile, Shew is a lefty bench hitter who can play a true shortstop and probably should have broken camp with the Yanks. Fun, functional swap.
