if you asked #Dodgers fans you can have Kyle Tucker but it would mean renaming the place after Uniqlo, a large majority would say no thanks. Of course that's not how it works but you know.

oh mariners over phillies btw 'lmao'

At least this year, Kyle Tucker did not dislodge Juan Soto as the highest-paid player in #MLB, per the league's calculations. A look at the 76 players making at least $20 million - and did Anthony Rendon land in the top 5? www.usatoday.com/story/sports...

It's challenging to feel like your consumer habits make a difference in any tangible way (Amazon seems to be doing just fine without my business), yet one thing that feels like a real impact is subscribing to a publication after clicking on a specific story. The pubs love those #metrics

When you’ve seen so many creepy ballpark renderings that Real Life starts looking like AI.

John Travolta got $20 million for Pelham 123.

They been paying Dwayne Johnson north of $20M to be the same person in different movies. They can pay $18M for a Oscar winner who played different people in one movie. Cut the check.

The #MNTwins have released infielder Gio Urshela and reliever Andrew Chafin.

ozzie is a man of his word :’)

the homogenized hardwood remains the most enshittified thing about modern march madness.

perhaps the ultimate 'we don't know anything about the rest of the country nor do we particularly care'

to have a house party... one must first have a house

Rob Manfred says MLB's alliance with Polymarket "creates clear boundaries with the goal of mitigating risk while providing fan engagement opportunities” Such as Manfred's promised lockout: Polymarket says 49% chance of a new CBA by Dec. 1. Welcome to the Wild West www.usatoday.com/story/sports...

This medal presentation is giving somewhere between The Naked Gun and Sound of Music/Von Trapp Nazi Misdirection vibes.

Manfred delivering 25-second soliloquies to each guy and Bruce Meyer's like, 'We'll talk later.'

No way the Iranian soccer team is missing the World Cup now

i believe bryce harper is the first dude to break the fourth wall between a player and the dude with the minicam running right up his ass around the bases.

the Showcase Ponies are running out of outs...

it is not easy to pitch on back-to-back nights in mid-March but Eduard Bazardo did a lovely job of it right there.

for chrissakes this first pitch will be later than almost any world series game because of the pomp and circumstance. uhhh it's still a mid-March game with pitch limits.

this montage is screaming, 'Yeah, we couldn't get Bad Bunny for this..."

when news organizations are passing on a "March Madness snubs" file for "you know what, pretty much everyone got in that was deserving," it's more evidence than needed that expanding this thing is a sad money grab.

Today’s AM newsletter - which used to be authored by a real human - had zero offerings from the Oscars, March Madnesses or the World Baseball Classic. Excellent business plan!

one thing they never prepare you for is someday embedding a social media post from atGarrettWhitlockEnjoyer

if you time-traveled from the '80s and saw a Mason Miller v Oneil Cruz at-bat you'd wonder where the hell you just landed.

Michael B Jordan proving he can win without Scottie B Pippen.

ketel marte simply loves the troops more.

this is remarkably hi level base ball.

A-Rod interviewing Skenes might be peak vapidity.

Kids, the sports/entertainment calendar has shifted. Back in '82, the Oscars lined up with the national championship game. Toggling between Patrick Ewing swatting shit into the Superdome rafters and On Golden Pond propaganda. Jordan hitting that jumper just as Chariots of Fire triumphed. Wild.

Wondering if Brandon Scott will wager Maryland crabs and Muriel Bowser kickbacks from developers in that UMBC-Howard First Four tussle.

Ah heck they’re robbing the world of a “Will Julio Rodriguez attempt to dap?” moment.

A small crew in Greenfield CA is pruning grapevines. This field is almost done and they only have the last two rows left to finish, which is why they're all standing so close together. #WeFeedYou

Ohtani is a lot of fun to watch with his Japanese teammates. Seems very comfortable in his dudeliness, which is funny given he’s the baddest dude to grace that MLB ever.

I'm as pro-ump as they come but Carlos Torres is having a terrible game behind the plate for #PuertoRico and #Italy.

Dan Plesac keeps saying Vinnie Pasquantino hit three home runs against Team USA. He hit zero home runs against USA, but three against Mexico. Which helped the USA. Hell we all get confused.

I haven't seen any snow this winter, but I've have seen lots of these snowbirds. (dark-eyed junco) #birds #nature #wildlife

Guessing there will be a few “yassssss Chotiner slayyyyy” folks who will quietly sit this one out.

The Team USA hardo handshake policy is even richer when you watch the body language of dudes not in the game in the ninth inning of a 5-3 knockout situation - laughing and shrugging and looking hella detached. Like mid-March in Clearwater. So which is it?

were The Women Of The Bible the original Wine Moms?

Have a night, Carlos Febles.

So much of (cis, straight) white American “culture” is just not thinking about your own identity and conforming to expectations to preserve the white supremacist patriarchy, and that’s how Morgan Wallen, Vineyard Vines, etc. have a market.

This guy has turned off replies, most likely on account of he is full of shit.

iran and the wbc simultaneously in the news cycle got me wanting to call it the Strait of Hernaiz.

Manny Machado is the lone hitter among the first seven in the Dominican Republic's lineup without a four-digit OPS this WBC. And he's at .988.

Tubi is fumbling its moment. As good as a (geriatric) Tyson bout.
