I am extremely proud of this birthday card I had made for @jackbaer.bsky.social.

This reads like the world's most fucked-up arbitration hearing. www.nytimes.com/athletic/688...

I already had very low expectations when I saw Starz was developing an Ippei-Ohtani series, and then I saw the synopsis says Ippei "finds himself tangled in a gambling scandal that rocked the sports world.” That's certainly one way to describe his role in the scandal!

HAZEL IS BACK HOME!!! A construction worker at a site just around the corner from us managed to get ahold of her and made a makeshift leash with some rope. She's gotten water, food and is currently decompressing in her crate. Seems mostly okay physically, maybe a couple of scrapes--vet later.

Hazel’s expanded her zone a bit, having been seen yesterday afternoon at Century and Aviation. Once again asking this be shared with folks in L.A., especially in Westchester, Inglewood and surrounding neighborhoods. Shareable Instagram post: www.instagram.com/reel/DQpBhSu...

Los Angeles/westside folks: Our foster dog, Hazel, got out tonight around 8:08 p.m., and we have not been able to locate her. Please keep an eye out--and if you see her, DO NOT CHASE. She is very timid and will not come to someone she doesn't know. PLEASE CALL/TEXT THE NUMBERS ON THE FLYER.

I have covered three games this postseason and am currently watching my 34th inning of baseball.

These are going to be the most booed leadoff hitters in the history of the World Series.

Meh.

They. Just. Can’t. Be. Stopped 😤

Incredibly excited to learn that Jhostynxon “The Password” Garcia has a younger brother whose nickname is “The Username.” www.mlb.com/news/red-sox...

Dodgers bullpen still undefeated in the postseason baby!

Today’s lineup 1. One of MLB’s best young players 2. Former MVP on a nine-figure deal 3. Two-time All-Star 4. Platinum Glove winner 5. No. 3 overall pick 6. Former top 100 prospect 7. Return for a star closer 8. Yeah fair 9. Former top 100 prospect With a guy who throws 104 in the bullpen

Went on the Motern Media Infomercial Podcast to talk about this story, baseball and more with Matt Farley himself! My segment starts about 25 minutes in. tmmip.libsyn.com/sarah-wexler...

This is probably the silliest story I will ever write for MLB dot com, and I had so much fun with it. Find out how baseball shaped the career of Matt Farley, writer of over 26,000 songs and counting! www.mlb.com/news/musicia...

Fairly certain the majority of people complaining about Toby Huss as Dale don't realize Johnny Hardwick did like the first six episodes. We've now watched a couple Huss episodes and he's been great imo.

I cannot tell you how weird it is to find out the Padres gave up De Vries from your own article (the magic of prewrites).

Can't help but feel like this picture is going to hurt Gilbert Arenas' claim that he wasn't hosting an illegal poker game at his house.

Rich Hill striking out an All-Star in an MLB game in the year 2025. Good things still happen in this world.

Was there an NBA Finals game tonight? Elsewhere at Yahoo Sports, we were watching Shohei Ohtani's return to the pitching mound ⚾

“Yeah I’m wearing a rainbow but CHRISTIANLY” is one of the weakest displays I’ve seen from a pro athlete in recent memory.

Yahoo Sports was all over the most important sidebar story coming out of Pope Leo XIV's election today. @jackbaer.bsky.social doin' the work.

Finished Yellowjackets S3 and while I understand the criticisms against it, I'm still on board for the entertainment of watching The Most Psychotic Character in the History of Prestige Television.

Technically I am a failing senior editor at Yahoo.

Tried to write a breakdown of every way the Dodgers and MLB have compromised their claim as champions of Jackie Robinson's legacy in the past month. sports.yahoo.com/mlb/article/...

Two players, two approaches—one explicitly laying out the political/personal motivations behind his decision, one simply stating he’d be elsewhere that day. Both totally valid as far as I’m concerned. Both men whose actions demonstrated greater moral fortitude than anyone on the Dodgers did today.

Will always remember the day the Los Angeles Dodgers removed the last shred of doubt that Jackie Robinson is a marketing asset and nothing else to them.

I asked Dave Roberts his thoughts on the Jackie Robinson DoD article removal on Sunday. He said he didn't know what happened, but he "should study up on it." "What I do know is he served our country ... I was there, I went to the base." After the news of the WH visit today, I followed up.

Genuinely astonished by how much I'm enjoying the Indiana Jones game.

The Dodgers are giving away bobbleheads for: Shohei Ohtani Freddie Freeman Dave Roberts Mookie Betts Shohei Ohtani again Vin Scully Will Smith Tommy Edman Blake Snell Ice Cube Yoshinobu Yamamoto Joe Davis Ron Cey Fernando Valenzuela Teoscar Hernandez Roki Sasaki Kobe Bryant

The state of the Los Angeles Dodgers is they just DFA’d a guy with a 1.89 ERA in two seasons with them because he is their sixth-best right-handed reliever when everyone’s healthy.

Hey! Here's a big slice of the Yahoo Sports roster, to enhance your feed... go.bsky.app/7E2aKyp

important revelation from Passan: Decoy was part of the Sasaki meeting

I think a lot of the initial skepticism on Ohtani was based around the fact that if it was true Ippei was one of the dumbest criminals of all time and it turns out that Ippei was one of the dumbest criminals of all time

Pugsley is home with us! You can follow his journey on Instagram: www.instagram.com/pugsley.nota...

We're taking in a foster dog tomorrow. His name is Pugsley Adams [sic] and the shelter lists his breed as pug. I'm not sure the folks at North Central have ever seen a pug before.

Celebrating the air quality here going down to "Unhealthy" like the Bluths when their stock became a "Don't Buy"

Fun morning: got woken up by @jackbaer.bsky.social calling to say he’d come across a German shepherd while walking Boomer. Before I was half awake, I was out wrangling a loose dog. Fortunately he’s very sweet and friendly, and we easily got him to our house safely. According to his chip, this is Bo

She’s still got her fastball, folks (though I do think her act works better in half-hour increments)

So far my main contribution to Sarah's Chanukah family dinner is putting a car chase on the big TV.

I would simply tackle Lamar Jackson before he could hurt my team.

I dare the Hornets to be in the News for a good reason

I’m going to guess Belichick started taking the idea of a college job seriously the moment he found out Deion Sanders straight up doesn’t do recruit home visits.

Simpsons MNF game looks like a video game from 2009 (25% compliment, 75% insult)

A while ago, I made reference to filing the most Jewish thing I've ever written. This is that piece. sabr.org/journal/arti...

Just realized it's now possible to Rashomon the Wizard of Oz with the original, Wicked and that weird James Franco movie.

The funny part is the Dodgers could sign Snell, Sasaki, Hernández and Buehler and still keep all their draft picks (not that you let that get in the way of Soto, Adames, etc).

Per our apps, he has already eaten a half-full tub of butter and broken through a small barricade into our backyard.

I feel like one of Ohtani's biggest achievements is convincing everyone the Dodgers are a super-team when in reality they very possibly don't make the playoffs without him.

Heartbreaking when your alma mater plays Jack Del Rio games and wins Jack Del Rio prizes. www.nytimes.com/athletic/591...
