Freddie Freeman after they tried to pick him off 😂

First day on the job and you want respect? Go right up to the most recognizable and respected guy in the newsroom and have him yell at you until you cry. Then it's time to send him a weepy email telling him how disappointed you were that he did all that. Shouldn't have any trouble after that.

After ICE deported Wendy Hernandez Reyes, it turned her 3-year-old son Orlin over to her sister’s estranged partner, who tortured Orlin and beat him to death. I can’t say what I think should happen to those responsible without violating this website’s TOS. www.washingtonpost.com/immigration/...

Can we get 10,000 RTs for this

In the mid-90s happened today there would be no reporting on the Shawn Michaels/Bret Hart backstage fights but there would be a lot of tweets saying that the WWF is impressed with Marc Mero's professionalism and there are plans to make plans for him.

If you do all this stuff against Liberty University it is actually constitutionally protected free speech in my opinion.

mase is def gonna take the throne from big. girls don't listen to jay-z, man.

5.34 ERA since he blew this kiss

NOBODY kisses the Orioles and goes on to have a successful career as a big closer

There was Jimmy and Tommy and me. And there was Anthony Stabile. Frankie Carbone. And then there was Mo Black's brother, Fat Andy and his guys, Frankie the Wop and Freddy No Nose. And then there was Pete the Killer, who was Sally Balls' brother. Then you had Nickey Eyes and

Missing player story time. I've recently been spending time on William "Blondie" Purcell, who is arguably the most prominent player to go missing. He played 1097 games in the bigs from 1879 to 1890. He came from Paterson, NJ and was pals with King Kelly, Jim McCormick and The Only Nolan.

Martina McBride just pulled out of Trump's partisan America 250 event. 5 of 9 artists have now pulled out.

the labour discourse around the new CBA is gonna kill me and it's only just started. if the players make less money YOU don't get that money! carrying water for owners is cop shit. thanks

Here's the serious bit for anyone who'd rather skip the 4000 words of jokes

In his keynote speech to Harvard graduates this week, @thedailyshow.com host Ronny Chieng said "Fuck AI!" Turns out you can talk about AI in a grad speech and not get booed. Watch our episode on these AI grad speeches: www.youtube.com/watch?v=VE0E...

Despite ample assertions on the web and in books, Nate Berkenstock, hero of the final game of the 1871 season--pulled from the stands to play right field after not having been active since 1867--was not Jewish.

It’s legal to say this again

Thought I'd share a Jack Remsen / Billy Geer story in light of yesterday's discovery. So Remsen and Geer were teammates in 1884 in Brooklyn. Geer had his best year in the big leagues leading the AA in a bunch of fielding categories at shortstop. The team stunk though and Geer and Remsen moved on.

if you’re like me and somehow never saw the JJ Putz thing, here you go. it is amazing.

Some fun news, was able to finally locate Jack Remsen, one of the more high profile missing players, who had a big league career that spanned from 1872 to 1884 and was a regular with Hartford in the inaugural season of the National League back in 1876. I'll break down how I found him in a thread.

ANDOR CHARACTERS AS DRIL TWEETS: KING BOOTLICKER HIMSELF SYRIL KARN

I've seen the David in Florence and stood before Guernica in Madrid. I caught Zero Mostel's Tevye and James Earl Jones in Fences. I've had the tasting menu at El Cellar, twice. But all of that was mere prelude to seeing Sonny Rollins close out jazzfest in New Orleans. God bless his immortal soul.

Really fine article, dealing with a player I was unfamiliar with. I spend so much of my time tracking down ballplayers who disappeared for invariably sketchy reasons (family abandonment, jail, alcohol), it's fascinating reading about some who disappeared as a war hero.

The Marketplace of Ideas people immediately forcefully shut down all dissent, bought all media, sued & fired all critics & arrested & caged journalists reporting on their heinousness as soon as they got control & all of this was entirely predictable & people who warned of it were called overreactors

one of the most amazing things about walking around manhattan is realizing that danny gladden might have once stood where you're standing. he played in the AL from 1987-1993, so he made quite a few trips here to play the yankees and likely stayed in a manhattan hotel. it's incredible to imagine

@zpetrillo.bsky.social did a great job on this bio of my fave 19th century player, Fred "Sure Shot" Dunlap. Thought I'd add a few things from my records since I have a lot on him from writing my Union Association book.

19th century getting some representation this week...late 1880s 2B Fred 'Sure Shot' Dunlap gets a #BioProject entry. sabr.org/bioproj/pers...

I have thoughts on Fred Dunlap. And now you can call me out as wrong on them because you, too, can now read his SABR bio.

one of the nice things about tim walz harping on how weird these guys are is that we're so used to right-wing media selling the obverse by going "look at this normal piece of shit at a playoff game for his favorite team" or "i bet this maniac thinks fucking his wife makes him heterosexual"

And there was nothing that we could do about it. Babu Frik was a made man, and Grogu wasn't. And we had to sit still and take it. It was among the Mandalorians. It was real greaseball shit. They even shot Grogu in the face so his mother couldn't give him an open coffin at the funeral.

It'd be even more 2026 Orioles vibes if tomorrow Cowser goes on the IL with a neck injury.
