I wonder what Trump or his family personally got out of this.

The Dodgers have undoubtedly the greatest baseball player to ever live and a pitcher who has thrown two complete games in the playoffs and they’re about to lose to the Blue Jays. It’s really hard to fathom.

Stagflation The Fed Chair is describing stagflation but does not want to say the word.

The United States is denying ESTA Visas to European nationals at such a rate that I’m having to schedule meetings with colleagues at third party sites in Canada. These are mostly Austrian and German nationals. No reason is ever provided for the denials.

Those were some of the worst penalties I’ve ever seen the Sounders take. That was awful.

We’re going to need Billy Joel to do a complete re-write of “We Didn’t Start the Fire”.

A long time ago I was in Turkey during a period of “unrest” that included protests against the United States. At the request of my employer at the time, I put Canadian flag patches on my backpack and suitcase. It absolutely didn’t work — and ultimately it didn’t matter. I haven’t done that since.

The United States government is effectively a monarchy at the moment. It’s the best descriptor.

"If you want to make room for the white working class, you must make room for Nazism" is a truly depressing referendum on a lot of different things at once

Woo referring to the yell to start his answer says it all

George Springer somehow just hit a 3 run home run in the Seahawks game.

The Mariners were an incredible distraction from *everything* and I was really hoping it would last another couple weeks.

This really fucking sucks.

Devastating. Devastated. I won’t go so far as to say Wilson lost this series for them but he didn’t help. Ultimately, they had to score a lot more than 2 or 3 runs a game against the Blue Jays. That’s what it came down to. They just didn’t hit well enough with runners in scoring position.

The Mariners are on tilt all the sudden. I would’ve left Woo in to face Springer. I don’t like the matchup with Bazardo.

I truly don’t understand taking Kirby out right now. He was more or less cruising.

California Raleigh!

The Jays going to the pen in the 4th is very good.

I thought Guerrero would somehow hit a bases empty 7 run home run there.

Give me that Jays bullpen, please.

Cal Raleigh desperately needs to work the count more. He has no plan up there right now.

Not taking advantage of those opportunities is great way to lose baseball games. They simply can’t let that happen again. The Jays will score a minimum of 5 runs today.

I hope everyone enjoys their pre-game vomiting session. Go Mariners.

Tonight will be a dogfight. Also, there will be important sports games on TV.

Here's a gift link to the New York Times' coverage of the initial Tea Party rallies in April 2009 which inspired the media to treat it like a massive movement. Check out how tiny the crowds were: Philly: 200 DC: "several hundred" Boston: 500 Austin: 1,000 Houston: 2,000

best encapsulation of being an M's fan ever

The Mariners committing three errors that led to three runs is the story of this game.

If the Mariners don’t move on, Logan Gilbert won’t sleep the entire off-season.

Game 7 it is.

But Trump’s Nobel Prize is already in the mail.

Shohei Ohtani plays the greatest baseball game of all time: defector.com/shohei-ohtan...

The Dodgers will be *heavy* favorites against either the Mariners or Blue Jays. I think the M’s could beat them in 7, though. I hope they get the chance.

Shohei Ohtani just played maybe the best game of any player in Major League history tonight. Simply ridiculous.

I spent the last 2.5 days in Toronto and watched the Blue Jays thump the M’s in hostile territory. 20 minutes after I landed on American soil, Cal and Geno went yard. I’m canceling work trips until after the World Series.

“The Diplomat” might the only legitimately good thing Netflix has ever produced.

As someone else mentioned, it’s increasingly clear who bought the United States.

I just drove past an incident on the Gardiner Expressway in Toronto. A truck hauling port-a-potties lost its load. 8 to 10 port-a-potties are strewn across the freeway. This can only be a good omen for the Mariners.

Pretty bummed about the Mariners right now. They only need to win one of these three games at home to keep the advantage, though. Just one.

That’s just crazy enough to work.

Kirby needs to eat this one and stay out there as long as possible. Tomorrow will be another chance.

I’m confident in saying that this game will not end 5-2. There will be many more runs tonight. Hopefully for the good guys.

The Jays look too comfortable up there and Kirby is missing in the middle of the plate right now. Not a good combo. During the regular season, Kirby would sometimes struggle to recover from a bad inning. Fingers crossed he pulls it together here.

I just saw a recent picture of Landon Donovan. Has this been discussed already? Am I late to this?

I detest Elon Musk and I will not be handing it to him here. That said, free Starlink on United is truly a game changer.

I land in Toronto about 40 minutes before first pitch tonight. I will be going directly to a sports bar to watch the game among, presumably, Blue Jays fans. We’ll see how long I can stay incognito.

The best thing that could happen to LA is getting the Olympics pulled, fwiw.

I’ve been a Mariners fan since 1987. When the Mariners get good (which is obviously rare), it’s interesting to see which celebs identify as fans. This time around, my algo is feeding me influencer M’s fans who I’ve never heard of but have massive followings. It’s pretty weird.

It's somehow both wildly underreported and just out in the open that the vice president is either a neo-Nazi or, at a bare minimum, a neo-Nazi fellow traveler.
