This is one that always gets people as someone who (a) grew up in Youngstown, (b) had actually family members named in mafia books and (c) has his great-grandfather's pardon papers from his time in Sing Sing - I've never seen a single episode of The Sopranos in its entirerty.

The bug on my windshield put up more of a fight this weekend.

I can't believe the plan to sit two of their best hitters isn't working out for Boone and the Yankees. Good thing there's Plan B of going to the bullpen with Fried at 102 and the bottom of the order up

Can both be true that ND's defense has been crap and maybe, just maybe, they aren't as good as we thought they would be - but that also they've lost 2 games to 2 now Top-10 teams by a total of 4 points in the final minute each time and that being ranked 21/24 despite being 0-2 is kinda too low?

I can't believe how much better this offense is when they get the ball to J. Love. Who would have thought?

Never schedule a game in this God forsaken stadium ever again. Unless it's against James Franklin.

Joey Scarbury was a 26 year-old backup singer for Loretta Lynn — with no record label — when he was picked to sing the theme for “The Greatest American Hero (Believe It Or Not)”. “I thought it was a really cool song. I had no idea it was going to become iconic.” Peaks at #2 today in 1981.

Here on the North Coast we could easily chuck a lot of walleye, but for culinary enjoyment maximization I'd go with the Slumberjack or Mac & Sheesh from Fire! Chicken, though for convenience, the Large Marge from White Turkey in Conneaut makes a suitable grenade size projectile for rapid deployment.

I'm not superstitious (maybe a little stituous) but the Yankees won 4 straight games and scored a buttload of runs with Dominguez batting leadoff then took him out of that spot and have gone 3-6 (about to be 3-7) since, with one of those 3 wins a game with Jasson hitting #1. I dunno, seems to work?

This all-star game answers the question "what if you turned into the game only for announcers talking and the playing was just kind of there to provide color and atmosphere"

Dominguez in the leadoff spot resulted in 4 straight games with 10, 8, 6 and 11 runs. Not in lineup yesterday: 2 runs (in a desperate 9th garbage time fake rally). Today's lineup: 6th. MAKE IT MAKE SENSE #yankees

Sitting in a meeting today discussing what a pain in the butt SB1 is for us here in Ohio, abd I had what I thought- for me anyway- was a profound thought. Inclusion is the unsafe space for those whose safe space is exclusion. I feel like I need that on one of those b/w slides with my picture on it

So they're doing that thing where they play shorthanded for 3-4 days and don't put a guy on the IL only to play him and then he ends up needing an IL stint anyway after with not one but two guys now? Cool. Cool.

Yankees don't do something dumb on the bases challenge. Level: impossible

If my math is correct the Yankees have scored a total of 5 runs since the start of the 8th inning on Wednesday night. It's the 6th inning on Tuesday. That's 54 innings later. Ugh.

What ridiculous thing haven't the Yankees managed to do on the bases these last 4 days? Even when they aren't trying to, something stupid happens.

A day full of carnage all over a course that resembled a demolition derby and then THAT PUTT?!?!?!?!? Amazing.

The inability to get the guys at the bottom of the order out is easily the most confounding thing about this Yankee season. I think the 8-9 hitters are batting .647 so far.

Tonight's game is where not having Oswaldo Cabrera healthy really hurts.

We're approaching 18 years of marriage and every single time my wife changes the TP roll, I have to switch it and correct it. She either doesn't notice, knows it bothers me and I'll switch it so does it to annoy me or is just oblivious to the whole situation and at this point I'm too afraid to ask.

Prob no easy way to tabulate this, but the amount of "fall behind early, make it close against crappy middle relievers only to go down haplessly in the 9th" losses by the Yankees under Boone is probably staggering. Call it a Wi_s, pronounced whizz, close to a win but did enough to piss it away.

Devin Williams being terrible wasn't one of the things I thought was going to annoy me about the Yankees' season when I thought about those things before the season.

4 pitches. Down a run in the 9th and they saw 4 pitches.

With a RHP on the mound and the LH hitting catcher JC Escarra due up, Boone pinch hit RH hitting Pablo Torres so next inning he'll have to replace that spot with catcher Austin Wells, a LH hitter. What?!?!?! He makes my head hurt. #Yankees #Booned

Every time I see one of my local elected officials post something on social media

All offseason. All spring training. 4 innings in - pitchers still can't properly cover first base. Mid-season form already!

Random thoughts that keep me awake at night: Did Tommy's union strike down at the docks ever get settled?

Don’t just say DEI as if it’s a bad word. Spell it out. Say diversity, which is the lifeblood of American society & culture & innovation. Say equity, which a just society should pursue. Say inclusion, because decent people believe in increasing belonging, not isolating people who are different.

No one has ever satisfactorily explained to me why the Washington Sentinels needed replacement cheerleaders.

I need to know what we did to Bulgaria that resulted in them unleashing split squats upon the rest of the world. And yes, I will complain about doing them every time I do them.

This is the GOP’s long con on full display.

one thing i’m stuck on is this idea that “masculine” energy means license to act like a chud in public, as opposed to more traditional notions of public masculinity, such as those that put a premium on the performance of integrity, honesty, honor and generosity.
