My God! That poor woman!

Makes me nostalgic for The Museum of Questionable Medical Devices in Minneapolis.

This must have been such a fucked up marriage (I assume she wised up and divorced the dad’s ass).

I feel heard and validated.

The 1996 Twins went into the season expecting to feature Kirby Puckett, Chuck Knoblauch, Paul Molitor, Marty Cordova, Rick Aguilera (as a starter) and absolutely no one else of any note at the time. I'm getting very similar vibes.

Fingers crossed.

Hooray for holding onto three guys who I love to watch play baseball. Boo for letting the rest of the roster sit fallow.

The Twins are 1 for 2 in terms of getting good value for an excellent starting pitcher from the Mets. I don't love those odds.

This is a good read. My opinion on Mattingly is the same as it was for Garvey and Hodges and others: If you've been rejected 15+ times by multiple voting sets, you're not a HOF'er. Vets Cmttes should be for guys who barely got a chance in the first place. Like: Lou Whitaker.

Oh god, this is bad enough to almost tarnish Zevon's legacy.

Based on a sample size of two, this seems to encapsulate the feeling women have of being married to me.

I remain convinced that a good number of baseball's problems could be solved by deadening the balls. A lot of our society's problems could be solved that way too.

Yeah, I'd want to be anonymous too for this. That said, at least he didn't vote for Vizquel.

Man, I remember when Cities97 was essential listening and where you'd go to find new and indy artists. How sad.

So, Omar Vizquel is out there stumping for himself to get into the HOF. Dude, just go the fuck away.

Really felt like he was sleeping through the first half of last season. Just think what he could do this year if Finnegan's awake!

I call my fists Mauer and Morneau, because they both hit left-handed. I'm the victim of a botched arm transplant.

How’s your Thanksgiving going? My in-laws showed up an hour early!

Dear @billtwibh.bsky.social, I’m sorry I haven’t started editing yet. I’m singing karaoke in a bar.

Let’s give it up for the tail gunners!

This is going to get very bad

For most guys, I'd say to bilk them for as much as they'll give you. But it's probably worth a good bit to Rendon not to play baseball, considering he never really liked it anyway.

What petty, shitty little people this country has chosen to rule it.

Christmas came early! Can’t wait to read these for the The Sporting News-SABR Baseball Research Awards!

I bet the SecDef gets hard just thinking of "attacking boy-friendly spaces." Fucking creep.

Oh boy! Get ready for more rolled up shirtsleeves and pickup trucks.

This year? Mashed cauliflower.

My sister-in-law, God love her, just texted that she's "Thinking of you all right now <heart emoji>," presumably thinking Charlie's birthday is today when it was yesterday. We're going to file that under Hey, At Least You Tried!

This motherfucker was straight up fired by the White Sox for sexually harassing a kid with autism and paid the family to hush it up, and was credibly accused of strangling his wife at his in-laws' house, but, sure, talk about "murky domestic violence allegations." Fuck, I hate this so fucking much.

Charlie Bates should have turned 19 today. He'd either be finishing up his first semester of college or gigging his way across the Midwest in a van with his bandmates after dropping out in late September. Either would have been preferable to where we are today, but life can be a real son of a bitch.

What monsters weren't already thanking the flight crews on their way off of planes?

Just fucking shoot me in the head now and get it over with. I can't watch Trevor Larnach's meh-ness for another year.

Trevor Larnach being tendered a contract, things of that nature

A small bit of welcome news, as it looks like I won't have to shell out a bunch of extra dough if I want to watch the Twins in 2026. Now...do I want to watch the Twins in 2026? Time will tell.

If Joe Ryan and Byron Buxton need a place to stay, they're welcome to my guest room.

I have no meaningful analysis, I just want to share how much I'm enjoying everyone's jokes about the Angels and Orioles. Great work, team!

This seems bad for many reasons. All I can say is that, if the overall price rises significantly over what I paid this year to watch the Twins play like dogshit, I won't be ponying up to watch them play like dogshit in 2026.

I, a man who once accidentally got caught intentionally spitting on a Cybertruck, relate to this.

Please do not embarrass our guest by mentioning the people whose murders he's ordered or the slaves he keeps to improve profitability.

Good news for the Senator that he has insurance and can afford his healthcare!

Oh fuck yeah!

Gonna be deported to that prison in El Salvador.

Someone please get Scott Boras to stop. End. Desist, even.

My cult is going to be so mad I didn't predict this Aurora and they're totally going to pick a new leader.

Had never seen an Aurora in all of my 47 years and almost missed tonight’s because I was at a choir concert. Got home in time to get this though.

I guess this is probably as good as MLB can do in this case. I don't blame the league for the fact that sports betting is allowed, or for not anticipating this specific problem. I do blame them for turning so many broadcasts and ballpark experiences into obnoxious extended ads for gambling.

I think I have to revamp my feed on this thing. I miss people talking about baseball.

God, throwing you whole lucrative career away for a five grand! All thoughtful commentary about gambling and baseball aside, what fucking morons.

Another victory for those of us who do stupid and incomprehensible things for the sake of freedom.
