I think a lot, too much really, about the guy in the hair supplement commercial who says he stopped hanging out with his boys bc of the razzing about his hairline

NEW WHEELYSPORTS: @flyersgoalscoredby.bsky.social asked if farting makes riders go faster. I answered.

Woke Nuremberg is coming

What a treasure trove of Guys to remember. Kyle Sleeth!

God bless the Rockies, they are nothing if not creative

Guys I need help. I'm obliged to write a cycling newsletter for this week (not really, I guess, nobody's forcing or paying me to do it) and I don't have any ideas. Is there anything you want to know about bike racing?

Condé Nast's actions are in direct violation of our contracts and of labor law. Solidarity with our unjustly fired colleagues across the company. This is not over.

A pitcher as manager!

The U.S. imprisons so many children we'd have no problem jailing an Infantino

This is a harder job than it looks. Roberts was near-faultless managing his offense and the all-starter pitching staff, talented as it was, is quite unwieldy. That said, he made some insane pitcher use decisions late in the World Series and was lucky to get away with it.

One interesting effect of Tuesday's blue wave is I'm now aware of Marietta, Georgia, mayor Steve "Thunder" Tumlin. Northeastern liberals should not sneer at the South when we're lagging so far behind in mayor naming technology

This is my old neighborhood. The gays there don't scare easy.

After Houston removed an LGBTQ+ Pride crosswalk in Montrose, residents responded in color. “It’s something that people out there need,” artist Nicky Davis said. “They need to know that the community of Houston accepts everyone.” ✍🏻 Gwen Howerton bit.ly/43Nw7JX

Volunteering for Dave Roberts the year he had no relievers as my first managerial report card may have been a mistake

Our free agent rankings are up. One of many things I'm proud that our site does but delighted that @benclemens.bsky.social has to do all the heavy lifting for, and not me

I was just reheating leftovers for lunch and when I got cheese out of the fridge my cat meowed the whistle blast at the beginning of "Morris Brown" by Outkast, tuned down a minor third

"I reached out to a White House spokesperson for comment. They said 'the pope doesn't know what he’s talking about.'" is such an incredible fourth panel for a Doonesbury strip

A lot of people probably won't get how finely crafted this joke is and how many layers it has, applause to Jane

Anyone who takes them up on this is gonna find a city that's much less white than New York, with left-liberal local government. I know NYPD overtime graft is big, but can these cops afford to live in The Woodlands?

I'm so blown away by Middlesex County's 17-point blue shift I am willing to say "Central Jersey" exactly once

This is the worst drawing of New Jersey that I've ever seen and a guy in my college house had a tattoo of it on his ass

i don’t like him, but, man, turning down $10M in favor of haterdom is an all-time, world-class, heavyweight champion hater move

OK *this* is the most shocking option news of the week

I'll go ahead and say it. Texas book banners got their butts kicked in tonight's school board elections. Again.

Capitalism is now illegal

This election has me considering a theory where all white gentile New Jerseyans exist on a grid where the four corners are Mikie Sherrill, Jack Ciattarelli, Martin Truex Jr. and Brian Fallon

I'm libbing out so much I'm willing to admit I think calling the mayor "Hizzoner" is charming

Scott Patterson is from New Jersey, he could run for governor

Also Jim McGreevey is running for mayor of Jersey City? The same Jim McGreevey from before!

Blah blah blah men…Young women are ready to set the country on fire

There’s vomit on his sweater already, Ciattarelli.

Ok apparently I've been pissing myself for the past five months for no reason, that's a pleasant surprise

The great obituarist for figures of grotesque American political evil. May he have many more opportunities to showcase this gift.

No stickers at my polling place! I'm bereft! How can I be expected to do my civic duty under these conditions?

Rico Dowdle can't help that he's too sexy, just look at where he played his college ball

Glad I got Instagram back on my phone because now I know Enrique Hernández has posted a tattooed buttocks

My eyes linger on the glossy photo on the table. It's the Crusher from Primo Hoagies, seeded bread, add mayo. We were close once. The acid scent from the pepper shooters fills my nostrils, as if more than a memory. "Counselor," I say. "I'd know that sandwich anywhere."

I found myself genuinely sad that we don't get to watch this Blue Jays team anymore, so I wrote about a guy whose impact this postseason will probably be forgotten before too long

I was so confused by the Cubs cutting Shota loose I went to MLBTR to remind myself of option decisions that made sense, just as a grounding exercise. Like clutching a rosary

I don't think we should depend on the afterlife to punish those currently in power

It's not in this article but the government asserts that the sandwich was thrown at "point blank range", which implies subway sandwiches have defined effective weapon ranges of varying lethality, and I would like to see the government's chart of these ranges.

Somebody asked the group chat who the most Braves-coded manager was and well there he is.

It’s truly scary how few mainstream publications are willing to publish working class voices and perspectives (let alone leftist ones), and every one we lose is yet another blow to the fragile hope for a better world

“It’s just disappointing that the world has gotten in the way of honoring a good man we all knew.” awfulannouncing.com/nfl/terez-pa...

An insight I had two days too late: The Blue Jays are bouba. The Dodgers are kiki.

Ben Lindbergh and I have been in the same room once, ever. I had come to Brooklyn FROM MY HOME IN TEXAS, and only after a full day of cajoling and negotiation did he agree to cross the river for dinner

When I log on and my mentions are in a state that makes me want to close the Arby's drive thru window, it's nice that I can usually tell which one of my moots did the RT that's to blame
