I literally just filed a book manuscript that references the Orioles/Rangers 30-3 game. If they make me update it, I will reverse-pope them do not test me

Luis Arraez winning the Platinum Glove will be one of my favorite baseball stories in a long time.

wishing all of my many bluesky followers a happy friday and a merry weekend

lmao mr. met doesn't give a fuck about your manager happy pride

Can managers still confiscate one bat per game to see if it's corked? That's 162 bats that they're just leaving on the table. Holiday gifts, decorations for your post-retirement tavern, supplemental income, you name it. Go after it, fellas.

actual lol on this one

NEW — The sentencing of the Prairieland demonstrators shows the brutality of Trump's war on dissent, but it's not without precedent, @kimkelly.bsky.social writes. History shows us the government has always punished anti-fascism. But this time we can change the narrative in real time. Read here:

becoming a millionaire by bottling and selling main character juice (opens the pores). filing bankruptcy after buying exactly one million copies of Whipped Cream & Other Delights (for a project)

i mean, this kinda reads like he's saying he'd smack him one real good, and if a very specific someone else takes it that way, it might bother him so much for so long that it happens

do you think the pope read this article about the white sox getting no-hit and winning www.sbnation.com/2015/7/1/884...

Circling back on this to appreciate Rodger's photography. Perfectly gets the quizzical eyes of hope in the tan dachsy, along with the beady "I will fucking end you" eyes of the brown dachsy.

The Giants’ bullpen are a bunch of Johnny Applewheeeeeees, traveling across the country and planting wheeeeeeees wherever they go. At least they’re normal in every other respect.

Source from Yahoo! Sports is reporting that President Xi will be playing for the United States in the World Cup. Working to confirm.

This feels like one of those stats where Jonah Cox is going to do the same thing next week.

If my calculations are correct, if Victor Bericoto has an outfield assist and a 445-foot home run in every game, he will be worth positive WAR.

that's awesome. i wish my grandmother was like that. actually i wish she actually WAS a revolver. a big ol' gun with eyes that floated on top like Clippy. grandma gun we'd call her. grandma gun can you make us pb&js w/the crusts cut off? "no shut the fuck up or i'll shoot your face off," she'd say

probably fine

that ball was hit hard

It is 100 percent the stick. I am FIRMLY anti-lollipop. You can't have something sticking out of your mouth. You'll poke someone's eye out. Also you'll fiddle with the lollipop. There is only one fiddling exception: putting foodstuffs into the mouth. Adding a stick is a slippery slope. And another t

Incredibly funny to shame the fans of a team that constantly refuses to pay their best players for not noticing that someone broke a record held by the legendary Ricky Nolasco

oracle park is haunted, have to build a new one

the 2026 Giants highlight reel is wild

The second-truest thing he's ever said, folks. (No. 1 was "Candlestick Park is the finest stadium in the land")

Posey really nails what you're supposed to do in crisis-management situations. 1. issue an in-person statement, then refuse to take questions 2. quietly repeat the same phrase over and over 3. look at the ground a lot

closed a couple dozen tabs that have built up at work over the last two weeks. some real dumb shit in there. some real dumb shit.

"Sure, we had a few words. He called me a dumbass, and I said 'well, double dumbass to you', and we had a good laugh about that."

A normal end to a minor flap is, like, the best development for the Giants all season.

man, i didn't even think about AI in the context of a place like FanGraphs. they just want to exist, man.

That was the statement of a cooked president of baseball operations on behalf of a cooked front office about a cooked team with a cooked manager. Everyone is cooked, a slow braise that's been smelling the house up all Sunday afternoon (it smells awful in there).

some serious Jeb! energy coming out of all this

Tesla Launches New Model Of Explosions

I stand in the middle of the reflecting pool with a giant knife. I plunge it into the concrete (?) and then run more than a football field (??), laughing the entire time. The police watch from outside the reflecting pool. "We can't get to him. There's water," they say.

This is a good thread, but it still ignores that I’ll never have the artistic talent to draw something as photorealistic as XKCD.

tucker straight up for devers, let's get silly

the giants should trade for anthony rendon, mix things up a bit

If you were on Sports Twitter in the halcyon days, you know Bradford’s work. If you weren’t, let me vouch for it now. He’s going to write the stories we need that no one else will, or can.

This whole thread is a good takedown of the laundering of bad-faith quotes. Is Vance actually concerned with the plight of the worker? No. Obviously not. Emphatically not. The author of an article that suggests otherwise is the stupid pit boss in Casino. Too dumb or in on it.

This one thing could have ended literally any other administration, but in this timeline it's covered by a sports-forward website with "still killing" necessary in the headline.
