Postal Service is wacky, man. We're out there breaking norms and whatnot, and they're still putting out things like this:

Mike Krukow is just the best. Duane Kuiper is just the best. Jon Miller is just the best. How did San Francisco get so much goodness?

The "center-left" is only uninspiring candidates. That's their whole thing. It's a bunch of Jared Polises. The way to gain entry into the center-left is to put on a thorough display of uninspiredness.

If Waffle House doesn’t make this their new slogan, then capitalism has failed

The good news is that Nate Bargatze couldn't care less if I never watch one of his specials again.

Yeah no, that’s nutty.

It’s June 10 and the only A.L. Central team with more runs scored than allowed is the one that lost 102 games last year.

The rankings are based on factors such as on-time performance, passenger experience, claims processing, and food and shops.

I don’t really miss doing what I used to do. But man, if I were doing it now I’d be so much better.

Hey everyone! Join me at the launch party for my new Cubs trivia book -- today at 5 pm at Almost Home Tavern & Grill, 3801 N. Clark St. in Chicago. Hope to see you there!

Every effort Bari Weiss has made to leave her bubble & affect the real world in some way -- her "university," CBS News, this race -- has completely blown up in her face.

awesome, we're doing premodern nostalgia but from the left again! this is all nonsense! do you think rats didn't exist before settled communities? slavery? the ability of people to live in a community, to create surpluses of food production so that people can do other things, is great actually!

because these bills are performative. Trans kids playing sports is a problem for nobody, not even Fifth Place Pick-Me. Totalitarian leaders (and would-be ones) rile up their base by identifying an out group to vilify. Cf Hannah Arendt's The Origins of Totalitarianism.

“The Ballpark and Beyond,” at the Barnes and Noble in Center City, Philadelphia. Father’s Day is a couple of weeks away and my unbiased take is that this would make the perfect gift for the dads in your life. Available wherever books are sold.

Agreed but also it wound up being (I assume) a tremendous investment!

I somehow just discovered that Paul McCartney's son has made (and is still making) some pretty great music, power-poppy stuff.

Today was the kid's last day of elementary school. I thought it would be tough on me, but... Actually it was tough! First time I really wished she had a younger sibling. 😭

Here’s a fun one. In real life it was an Eddie Robinson HR that went well over Mantle’s glove.

I can't really blame the 60 Minutes people for not quitting, but I also know from my own experience exactly where they are on the continuum of Realizing That This Isn't Going To Work. These just aren't people you can work with, and it's closer to the end than they think.

I don't understand how I've never read a story about a photographer in that era being grievously injured.

Truly one of the stupidest and also best jokes in sitcom history

Seconded! Really enjoyed this!

”not like back in my day when we actually just paid for play directly but you didn’t know it”

Cristopher Sánchez now holds the record for the longest scoreless streak by a left-handed pitcher in MLB history! 45⅔ straight scoreless innings and counting! 🔥🔥🔥

Last week I wrote a piece where I said that batteries were a gas power assassin. @robshum.bsky.social pointed out that the correct word to describe batteries is "gassassin." Either way, there is a killing going on down under.

Inject stories like this directly into my veins, please.

FIVE SEASONS covers the baseball seasons from 1972 through 1976, described as the “most significant half decade in the history of the game.” It presented one of the best World Series of all time, including still the greatest World Series game ever played. Get 40% off: bit.ly/BaseballSale26

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.

This is the “Baseball is the Best” t-shirt I wore on the livestream in honor of @slangsonsports.bsky.social. Proceeds from sales of these shirts go to Project ALS. It’s really soft and well-made & I plan to wear it all the time! I’m wearing a size small. Order here: rotowear.com/products/bas...

Good morning. I wrote about Tanner Bibee, who has gone winless in 13 starts, despite being very much Tanner Bibee over the course of 13 starts. Also, I wrote a paean to one of my favorite "useless" stats, our old friend Game Score.

Hummingbirds can pollinate up to 2,000 flowers a day & usually live around 4 years. she likely visited around 3 million plants before floating away on one she helped bloom

Ironically, Young Jr is the oldest Young in this photo.

I've not seen a single story or essay explaining why a group of people would bend over backwards to have significantly LESS information about important things. I mean, the answer is (I think) obvious. But I don't see anyone saying it aloud.

Esteury Ruiz's page is a trip, man:

Vox has a new look. Our homepage brings together the reporting, explainers, videos, and analysis that help make sense of the news, plus a new “Start Here” tab designed to answer a simple question: What do I need to know today? www.vox.com

Need someone who knows (WCWS) ball to explain why Texas Tech is employing a modified Waxahachie Swap tonight.

This is the closest they’ve come to admitting that Nancy isn’t wearing clothes, that’s her actual skin

Excited to start the new book from @toddradom.bsky.social today!

I get most of my history from small big-game museums/antique malls…

New on the blog! @heavyjstudios.bsky.social nominates the 1975 Topps Frank Robinson as our Hobby's most overlooked (or underpriced) card, with plenty of VG-EX examples out there in the $2 range. Curious which cards or players the rest of you would nominate. sabrbaseballcards.blog/2026/05/20/t...

Nearly a third into the season and the White Sox have won more games than the Mariners. Baseball, man.

A Sandhill Crane colt is small and defenseless, but luckily they have large parents that will resolve any issues that pop up.

SABR has chosen a 19th-century team. I once wrote: “To know that Albert Pujols and Derek Jeter are part of a seamless web with Roger Connor and John Ward makes the experience of today’s games richer than merely to compare our stars with those since 1901.” sabr.org/all-time-era...
