I'm happy for the Blue Jays. I'm also starting to think the Soto contract was first and foremost just meant to be another addition to Cohen's art collection.

#NowPlaying One-Eyed Jacks (1961) Slim Pickens in the supporting cast - I'm eagerly awaiting him to ride into a scene with a “What in the wide, wide world of sports is a goin’ on here!?” Think I might be disappointed #FilmSky

#PowerPopFriday Today's selection: Blue's eponymous 1973 debut. A deep-cut obscure Beatlesque Scottish answer to Badfinger #VinylSky #NowPlaying #PowerPop

I for one would like Tyler Rogers back in the #Mets bullpen. Extreme ground-ball profile paired with Lindor and Semien up the middle makes great sense. #MetsSky

28/1001: The Incredible Jimmy Smith, Back at the Chicken Shack (1960) #1001Albums #VinylSky #NowPlaying Greasy B-3 night, huh? Most un–Blue Note Blue Note cover art ever

27/1001: The Everly Brothers, A Date With The Everly Brothers (1960) Whatcha catch, eh girls? "Oh, just a date with the Everly Brothers and three lawsuits and a publishing dispute before breakfast." Love hurts. #1001Albums #VinylSky #NowPlaying

You will be visited by three spirits #MetsSky (trying to stay positive here)

Replace Alonso’s WAR, not his profile, is what Stearns is thinking. With Vientos at 1B on Opening Day, add elite defensive CF to pair with Lindor and Semien up the middle, stacking the pen with high-leverage ground-ball pitching, upgrade the LF/corner bats, and add a DH who mashes 20+ homers. #Mets

I resolved to not look at Bluesky or any #HotStove news today. So of course my daughter immediately texts me anyhow as soon as the Alonso news breaks.... 🤷‍♂️ #Mets ##MetsSky

41 years ago today, the Montreal Expos traded Gary Carter to the New York Mets for Hubie Brooks, Mike Fitzgerald, Herm Winningham and Floyd Youmans. The trade inspired O-Pee-Chee to produce what I've heard Expos fans call "the saddest baseball card ever made."

Cold Stove Stearns

Edwin Orlando Díaz Laboy is a Los Angeles Dodger

OH F*CK No!! Diaz to the Dodgers!?!

Schwarber back with Philly 5 year + 150 MM Hot stove is starting to cook! #mlb

26/1001: Miriam Makeba (1960) #1001Albums #VinylSky #NowPlaying

Schwarber is DH-only negative WAR in the field. Alonso's not a great defender but can at least still fake 1B. I don't get this discussion at all. #MetsSky #HotStove

#NowPlaying Leoncavallo: Pagliacci Nello Santi, London Symphony Orchestra & John Alldis Choir Domingo (Canio) • Caballé (Nedda) • Milnes (Tonio) Recorded Aug 3–6, 1971, Walthamstow Assembly Hall, London, RCA Red Seal Clowns, infidelity, and a body count 🎭🩸 #OperaSky

25/1001: Elvis Is Back! (1960) #NowPlaying #1001Albums #VinylSky So instead of following this up with more good albums the Colonel Tom Parker Elvis Factory soon pivots to making cringe wacky movies and terrible soundtracks. In the sixties this was called, like now, a 'business strategy'

A bit anxious about the winter meetings this week ngl. This is still a formidable shopping list: - Edwin Díaz - frontline starter maybe two - everyday high-impact corner bat - additional bullpen pieces - Pete Alonso I guess #HotStove #Mets #MetSky

Ok buckle up everyone: Act IV and Shostakovich is about to throw hands with Mother Russia alla Scala… sequins flying everywhere ✨💀 #PrimaScala

If you see this, repost with your model of positive masculinity

To all who celebrate, Happy Prima della Scala, dahlings! 🇮🇹 Buona Prima della Scala, cari! 🎭✨ Che il dramma inizi! 💋🔥 #OperaSky

Now Playing: Breathless / À Bout de souffle (1960) Le ground zero esthétique de la Nouvelle Vague 🚬🎥💥 #Godard #FilmSky

You've just died. 6th picture in your gallery is what killed you. Legit

23/1001: The Dave Brubeck Quartet, Time Out (1959) #1001Albums #VinylSky #NowPlaying Nice little record. Very polite jazz. But, can all y'all stop asking the band, whoever they may be, to play 'Take Five'? It's the year 2025 and we're all sick to death of playing it.

22/1001: Marty Robbins, Gunfighter Ballads and Trail Songs (1959) #1001Albums #VinylSky #NowPlaying It's having quite a revival on TikTok apparently. Kids, if you love your close-harmony cowboy camp on socials just wait until you hear it on vinyl! 🤠🎶👢

If anyone knows plantar fasciitis, it’s Texans and their cowboy boots with poor arch support. Nimmo’s in good hands.

Buxton. Yes. Do that thing Stearns #LGM

Also, McNeil needs to go. Bye bye squirrel #LGM

I'm reserving judgement on the Nimmo-Semien trade until I see what the outfield will actually look like. #mets #MetSky

#NowPlaying Le Trou (1960) A very French prison-break. Freedom is a philosophical problem. #FilmSky #1001Movies

Callas and Gobbi Oh 🔥 My 🔥 God 🔥

#NowPlaying Puccini, Tosca | EMI (1953) Maria Callas · Giuseppe di Stefano · Tito Gobbi Conductor: Victor d Sabata EMI catches lightening in a bottle at La Scala in its full postwar renaissance. #OperaSky

A truly Dostoyevskian moment

Apparently the politically correct way to say "bribery" and "corruption" now is "leader-to-leader networking" and "personalist foreign policy". Update your lexicons everyone.

#NowPlaying Verdi, La traviata (EMI, 1982) Muti · Scotto · Kraus · Bruson — Philharmonia / Ambrosian Chorus. Recorded 5–15 July 1980, Kingsway Hall, London. Prime Scotto and patrician Kraus in one of Muti’s sleek early Verdi sets before taking the reins at La Scala. #OperaSky #Verdi

#NowPlaying Monteverdi, Il ritorno d’Ulisse in patria (Teldec / Das Alte Werk, 1971) Nikolaus Harnoncourt & Concentus Musicus Wien | Recorded in Vienna, 1971. One of the first historically informed Monteverdi operas on record, and quietly revolutionary #OperaSky #Monteverdi #Harnoncourt

Friday = Power Pop Day! Today's selection: Todd Rundgren, Something/Anything? (1972) Amazing pop craftsmanship by the mad-scientist, home studio hermit, power pop godfather #PowerPop #VinylSky #NowPlaying

TIL it was the Eye of Agamotto that the jewel thief was after

21/1001: Miles Davis, Kind of Blue (1959) #1001Albums #VinylSky #NowPlaying My high altar. My sacred blue.

Soviet republic of New York takes first key step towards total communism by publicly owning Andrew Cuomo

Watching Tatsuya Imai videos on YouTube for "no particular reason". Also, he's also unfortunately represented by Scott Boras

20/1001: Ray Charles, The Genius of Ray Charles (1959) #1001Albums #VinylSky #NowPlaying Side A: Quincy Jones big band arrangements = 🔥 Side B: Ralph Burns orchestral arrangements = 💔
