For Sandy Koufax's birthday, I present to you the modern day Sandy Koufax, who did not even get 5% to remain his one and only season on the HOF ballot. Led their respective league: Johan 3x WAR, 3x Ks, 3x ERA, 3x ERA+, 4x WHIP, 2x IP Sandy 2x WAR, 4x Ks, 5x ERA, 2x ERA+ 4x WHIP, 2x IP

It felt like Abreu was losing ground, but I hadn't realized how low he started. I'm excited for Felix. But, when he reaches the Eras Committee Johan Santana better get 100% of the vote the first time.

Dems need to speak in more plain language. "Trump is STEALING from Minnesota!" This will connect more than - long game and defund programs. He's stealing. Minnesotans are paying taxes and he's stealing money that is intended for them.

Besides the outright racism of this conspiracy theory in action... The guy on the left is like the squeezed at the chest version of the guy on there right if they were rubber air-filled toys.

If you could pick your own obituary, but it has to be a real one about another person, this would be the headline to choose.

"Chase Utley wasn't seen a HoFamer during his playing career" is not an indictment of Utley, it's an indictment of the media of the time.

This is true and I was the only one on set excited about it (and playing the song on my phone to blank stares)

Pulling out Trumpism root and branch is a very literal promise Democrats should make

Saw Evander Holyfield at the Homewood Suites, sitting in the lounge for the free wine happy hour. He was just hanging out with some people. Was walking to dinner in DC around 8pm. A few guys were driving RC cars on the sidewalk. One was wearing baggy camos. As I got closer I noticed it was DMX.

Seemingly honest report: “substantial evidence...Gaetz...violated House Rules, state & federal laws...prohibiting prostitution, statutory rape, illicit drug use, acceptance of impermissible gifts, the provision of special favors & privileges & obstruction of Congress.” www.cnbc.com/2024/12/23/m...

The first US automobile was "inspired" by someone who saw a Benz at a state fare. Carl Benz built the first internal combustion engine powered car.

This is the Reagan Revolution. Everyone else thought their taxes were going down with each successive cut, but the only ones who had their taxes cut were the highest earners & those who make their money through capital gains & dividends. It began with a racist speech at the Neshoba County Fair 1/

These parents killed their child and we need to say it

Remember: When Tylenol was poisoned *by an outsider* and killed people, the company recalled all their products & redesigned them. When Intel’s Pentium had a bug so obscure it affected 1 in _9 billion_ long division calculations, they recalled their chips. ChatGPT was made deadly *by its team*.

He was either bit by a spider and has necrosis or the repeated use of an IV in that hand has caused the veins to collapse and now they are using the other hadn't, thus the second bruising.

The saddest part is the victims are not the people who are undermining measles prevention, or even the ones falling for the anti-science. It's their kids and the people who have weakened immune systems who cannot be vaccinated or for whom vaccines are less effective.

...to devote her life to the welfare of animals and bigotry, has died at 91. FTFY

It’s amazing how Felix is gaining so much considering that Johan couldn’t even stay on the ballot. Bad timing for Johan, I guess. I hope it’s remedied as soon as he’s eligible for an Eras Committee.

Love the ballots that vote for starting pitchers.

The prompt should have been "Post a perfect album from the 90s performed by white artists popular with college audiences" b/c that's all I'm seeing on my timeline. Here are some different choices:

It appears that 60% of women have been liberated from their need to marry by age 30. The remaining 32% are choosing to do so of their own volition, rather than financial necessity. Whenever it comes down to a woman's freedom to choose, they want to take it away.

In college, I told a group of friend that I was leaving b/c I was working that night. I was DJ at parties and a bar. One girl, who had a prominent nose, said she needed a ride and asked if I could teach her how to mix. Another friend said, "check out the hook while my DJ revolves it."

What these people are doing to the power of calling out real antisemitism, in an incredibly dangerous time of surging global antisemitism….man, it is just so worrisome

I don’t know how this is being left out of like half of the reportage, but Nicki Minaj is clearly trying to kiss Trump‘s ass enough to let her child-raping brother off with a pardon. She hasn’t just like, gone insane or anything. www.bbc.com/news/newsbea...

I hope California declares eminent domain over their properties and turns them into homeless shelters.

I hope this dog's name is Raekwon because he's only built 4 Cuban linx.

Can someone please respond to Stephen Miller with this message from Frank Sinatra?

#NewYorkCity wait for it…😏🤪

happy the establishment clause was merely a suggestion day

Merrick Garland hid this from us for 4 YEARS, and allowed this disgusting monster to be reelected

Who would have predicted a woke king?

Extremely funny to call the pope “holier-than-thou”

If you put the three left handers in a hat and asked me to say who had the better career between Buehrle, Hamels, and Pettitte, I would be hard pressed to choose. Hamels was qualitatively better, but didn't pitch nearly as much as the other two, who were nearly identical.

The Times repeatedly calls this a farm, but it's really a pig growing factory. Those pigs never exit those aluminum buildings except to go to slaughter.

Raping a minor isn't exactly the same as a political affiliation or belief system protected in the first amendment.

Christ on a bike, this is brilliant. And disgustingly historically accurate. 10/10

Someone must have mentioned the myth that Havoc used the clicking sound from a stove in Shook Ones Part II. It was really a sample of a high hat, with the tone down. www.youtube.com/watch?v=yoYZ...

The funny thing is 60 Minutes used to be the only thing I'd watch on CBS. I stopped my DVR from recording it weekly for the first time in decades after they agreed to pay off Trump. I don't watch Paramount+, but I do watch Showtime. What else do they own?

I read this case for the first time a few months before it turned 20. It seemed ancient to me then. Now, it doesn't. The strange thing about perspective is that it varies.

Bradford, once again getting a big story ahead of the sanctioned and affiliated media (b/c he's doing the hard work). In this one, it sounds as if MLB wants to be the brand, rather than 30 different brands. MLB wants to be McDonalds. All the franchises are the same. Same food. Same expected 1/

I've represented employees for almost 25 years, including in discipline and termination cases. WTF is "reckless disregard of leadership?"

23.8% of voters can distinguish between Pettitte and Burhlre without factoring in PEDs as a negative. A similar percentage believes Vizquel's defense was so significantly better than it really was that it warrants overlooking both domestic violence and abusing a disabled clubhouse attendant.

At this stage of life, why would anyone ADD Omar Vizquel. Did he take Graham to a fancy lunch or something?
