Interesting choice to put this up on the scoreboard for eight seconds while the stadium is full of reporters

need you all to see this deeply indescribable cooking video

would a salary cap have prevented Argentina from winning

In 2019, an MLB exec told Rawlings the league wanted its baseball to perform to what he called a ‘target leaguewide home run rate’ The next year, MLB started making and using two baseballs in at least three consecutive seasons. What could this mean for the 2026 rocket ball? issa new [eyeblack]

tomorrow on [eyeblack], a never before seen memo and what it means for Juiced Ball 2.0. plug in now: readeyeblack.com

I went through and provided context to an MLB dot com article on the recent CBA proposal that seemed to leave a lot of it out. I've made that article completely free to read for anyone who wants to:

if you have your own physical media collection, you can do your own version of the Criterion Closet where you stand in your basement by yourself and saying "oh wow, In the Mood for Love, what a film" to absolutely no one

The White Sox are celebrating the 1983 team today The graphics match the era! Love things like this

SAMI FUCKING ZAYN WWE CHAMPION

y'know actually for a storied rivalry like the Los Angeles Dodgers and the San Francisco Giants, it makes sense that each team's retired future HOF star have seemed to be trying to one up each other on being absolute morons about pride night

There is a *lot* happening in this headline www.theguardian.com/sport/2026/j...

WELL LETS TALK ABOUT THE GREATEST COMEBACK IN FINALS HISTORY youtube.com/live/qGZyH8F...

"Tupac's estate" is not run by his family. It's run by some greedy corporate demon who seized it after his mother's death. In fact, his sister, who SHOULD be the owner/executor/etc of the estate, has apparently been trying to sue him for embezzlement. So "approved by his estate" is just PR bullshit

happy 82nd D-day anniversary to antifa

"The name of the game is the pursuit of more pretend money, and it isn't any more dignified or reasonable than it sounds."

the MLBPA has released a statement from interim director Bruce Meyer in response to MLB's proposal

if members of the MLB fan council have stated that they care more about their team's owners not spending money, fans might be smarter than MLB thinks.

for whatever it's worth, I have talked to members of the fan council (story coming out ... eventually) who have said they care more about their team's owners not spending money than they care about a salary cap.

Caplin’s quote reflects a sinister, subtle change in MLB’s approach. He’s not saying there is a competitive balance problem — there is not by any measure — but that, gosh, fans believe there is one. Well, fans believe this because MLB, team owners, and affiliated media have lied to them forever.

Knicks are the first team in NBA history to have three 20+ point series clinching wins in a single playoff run. 51-point win in Game 6 vs the Hawks 30-point win in Game 4 vs the 76ers 37-point win in Game 4 vs the Cavs

Double or Nothing show of the year so far. Hell yeah

The number one song in the New York Giants locker room this season:

RT @whitesox: Mune 🤝 Ichiro

wheeeeee!

I love how much wemby hates chet. HATES HIM.

aaaaaand scene

Anthony Edwards reflecting back on the season: "You're supposed to build championship habits or playoff habits during the regular season." When asked if the Wolves did that: "No, we didn't build the habits during the regular season."

Dozens of empty Waymos invaded an Atlanta neighborhood and circled a cul-de-sac for hours with no passengers www.wsbtv.com/news/local/a...

"Get that f*cking sh*t outta here"

Olivia Miles (21 points, 8 assists) became the 5th player to record 20+ points and 5+ assists in their WNBA debut, joining Candace Parker, Tonya Edwards, Dawn Staley and Cynthia Cooper

I'm so sick of these stories where a grown adult steals a foul ball from a child on camera & then the stadium gives the kid all kinds of free shit. The real happy ending is giving the kid the ball back, then dragging the adult to the pitching mound and beating them mercilessly in front of 30k people

Ted Turner fired Bobby Cox and immediately afterwards was like "We need someone like Bobby Cox around here." Well, he got his wish. What a week

jfc man

Wut

Oh my god. Indycar what are you doing

dying at this page of baseball quotes from the latest print edition of @theonion.com

Vinnie Pasquantino told me that there is, indeed, an espresso machine in the Royals clubhouse in Kansas City now. it's a De'Longhi and it has its own locker

BRO NARUTO RAN THROUGH SECURITY IM LOSING MY FUCKING MIND

It’s finally happened. After 18 months. Finally, a media merger you can root for.

I sincerely hope he's okay. also there's nothing to damage in there anyway

Also it is wholly different to say the Pope is wrong about something vs wrong about theology where he is the Vicar of Christ and infallible in the Catholic teaching.

Yes I know the Catholic Church doesn't excommunicate anyone IRL. But remember all of those who wanted to deny communion to people like Pelosi and Biden?
