Mets lead MLB in runs scored in August and went 11-17. Nightmare fuel.
They’ve been the best team in baseball with RISP since August 1st. The fact that they’re still losing is 100% inconceivably bad pitching and more recently, shoddy defense.
Manaea absolute trash.
What does it mean to live a finite, fragile life in an infinite, eternal universe?
I fucking hate the Marlins
JUAN SOTO TIES IT UP!
Soto!!!!!!!

This interview, which is also available to listen to as a podcast, provides a useful overview of some of the dangerous trends we’ve been seeing in recent months regarding federalization and militarization of state and local police functions.

Dejected Phillies Threads is my guilty pleasure.
Put it in the books!
I’m convinced Helsley is tipping his pitches.
I would choose Raley.
More McClean! More McClean!
McLean is a stud.
53% of Republicans want Trump to run again in 2028 yet 52% of Republicans say that Presidents should only be able to serve two terms.
Shoot Helsley into the fucking sun
Swaggy V! He’s really back!
Let’s fucking go!!! #LGM
Did he put his pinky to his mouth when he said this?
Have you seen the current polling on Trump and the economy? That feeling hasn't gone anywhere.
You certainly won't ever get an 18. Wtf is going on in Cleveland?
I hope so, but my head tells me that the Mets are more or less punting this game against Sanchez by starting Senga on regular rest instead of the one extra day they usually give him.
A mother cries out for her son who is in school while ICE arrests her outside of an immigration court after attending her hearing in San Antonio, Texas. Her only concern for for her child. This is happening all over America. This is not what safety or justice looks like.
Not only is all of this true, but the West's reaction to Russia's invasion fits perfectly with the sound geopolitical strategy he called "Bloodletting" in Tragedy. Now it seems like he thinks the West should practice appeasement, which he clearly states is a terrible strategy in the same book.
Can we get a faithful Final Fantasy VI remake?
“If only I had kept Phil Maton…”
Right now.
DFA Stanek immediately.
The only solace right now is that Trump is a coward, and this national guard patrol shit is mostly theatrical for the time being.
I can't wait to remember how much Congress is supposed to matter and then have 0 power to do shit about it in my newly uncompetitive, gerrymandered district.

Where's GZA when you need him?
I have. September of 2007.
The Mets are so fucking bad.

I have to assume this is his last AA start. Shouldn't the AAA roster have an opening in the wake of trading Tidwell?
... The employment sub-index dropped to a contractionary 46.4, a multi-year low; and The prices paid sub-index rose to 69.19, a multi-year high. #economy #markets #growth #inflation
Fucking disaster.
This fucking team.
When is it time to worry about Senga?
I want you to stop talking about people who are looking for answers in the wrong places as if they are irredeemable pieces of shit instead of currently misguided individuals who might be convinced otherwise by sincere attempts at persuasion.
I’m not even saying that. I’m saying that the left is wildly ineffective!
Do you not see how saying that you don’t give a fuck about these people’s problems makes it certain that they in turn won’t give a fuck about anything you have to say?
Lol, yep. If this is how you talk to someone who actually agrees with your viewpoint, I can only imagine how you talk to someone who may not. Have fun convincing people that you outwardly disdain to ally with your worldview. It would be funny if it wasn’t simultaneously so damn destructive.
I would prefer to tell him something that might actually have a higher than 0% chance of working. When you refuse to meet people at their level, they just ignore you. That’s the actual advantage the right has over the left in more than just this topic.
A lot of comments around this post make it sound like the left hasn’t been losing this messaging war badly in recent years.
They are also NOT the target audience dude. Like I said in a reply to someone else, I highly suspect that the young men that fall prey to Tate-style messaging are the young men who don’t have someone in their life to talk to or be mentored by. Others don’t need this because they have it already.
I'm almost 40 years old and I'm married with two kids. I'm not part of the audience these messages need to reach.
That is the best thing possible on the individual level, so it's very important. I suspect that a huge majority of the young men who fall into the Tate-type messaging trap don't have someone like that in their lives. There's only so much impact one person can have without mass media skills, though.
If women could do this successfully, then of course not. Unfortunately, however, I have serious doubts about women successfully doing this, just because of who the target audience is here. Think about who the target audience is here and how receptive you think they'd be to women giving this message.
What are you not getting here? If you completely cede this topic to the worst men around, then guess what? A large portion of those interested in that topic (yes, it's preteens and teens) do grow up, just in very negative ways that also negatively impact society as a whole.
I’m not the target audience for this kind of thing. If there are widely prominent guys out there successfully doing this, then great.
You are likely correct for the ones who are already down that dark path. The goal here would be to compete with that kind of programming for young men just entering that stage of life.
You say that as if it’s not blatantly obvious that millions of them need that.
No one is asking for politicians to do this. They're asking for someone who isn't Andrew Tate to do this at the bare minimum.
Why on Earth would you do that?
Lol, added context for Mets fans here: Spencer Jones would rank #7 in the Mets farm system if they had him, according to Fan Graphs. And yes, that's after the trades the Mets made yesterday.
Now this Ryan Helsley for Jesus Baez, Frank Elissalt and Nate Dohm deal is unquestionably a great deal for the Mets.
Also, let’s be real. Holmes looks cooked as a starter for the rest of this season.
Neither do I. I have no problem dealing any of the guys that we did but I hate getting a reliever in return for 2 months no matter how good he is. They couldn’t use some or all of these pieces for center field help or a starting pitcher?
I love getting Rogers but the price was completely insane. I have no problem dealing any of the players they did but for a 2 month rental of a middle reliever? I would literally have preferred them just trying to convert Tidwell into a reliever.
This sounds a lot like Democrats talking about Trump in 2016.
It doesn't matter how you do it. There's a 99% probability that your explanation will end with, "...you just had to be there".
I love when Diaz says, “Ok. I’m going to play for real now”.
Has Mauricio arrived?
Soto!!! Let’s fucking go!!!
Mauricio!!!! Monster power!
The White Sox would be lucky to even get Blade Tidwell for Robert and even that is probably too much. Take Jack Wenninger and a guy like Chris Suero or and consider yourselves blessed.
I can’t believe the Mets won that game. The Giants may have just suffered the unluckiest loss I have seen in years. Nice to be on the right side of something like that for once!
I didn’t do any of that but the “oo, look what you made me do” shit is also pathetic.
Sure buddy. Whatever. There are ethical ways to deport people that here illegally that are both far more effective and don’t thrash the foundations of a free society and it’s literally the Obama deportation policies.
And you’re just like the German “centrist” in the 1930s willing to look the other way or condone creeping abominations because it’s “them” that is being affected by all this.
You’re a delusional, smug clown just because you’re not the current target of this bullshit. Masked thugs throwing people who fit a certain profile into unmarked cars and driving off is the hallmark of freedom though so continue on in your certainty that you will never fit a targeted profile.
There is absolutely nothing stopping these guys from disappearing you. There’s also very little to stop some other guys pretending to be these guys from kidnapping you since scenes like these are now a normal occurrence.
I think they're mostly desperate to shore up their defensive issues at this point.
Okay. Who's up for a nice Jack Wenninger for Luis Robert swap now?
Nice acquisition by the Mets here. Lefties are hitting just .138/.271/.276 against Gregory Soto this season.
Dome football is an abomination.
Is there any buzz on Robert?
And it's pretty likely that 0 of those pitchers will be pitching in the Major Leagues in 3 years when Juan Soto is still in the middle of his prime. Look, there was 0 excuse for the Mets to not retain Wheeler but that was under Wilpon and...yeah. Not much more needs to be said.
Soooo... does a 3 win season get the Jets the #1 pick next year?
Lol

He's not going to do that. This is all bluster, and Powell is safe for now.
The Mets playing October baseball, and the coming crackup of the MAGA political coalition.
“…they can’t imagine what it’s like to be someone else—that’s why they’re racist or cruel or so certain…But you can! And this demands that you understand why they are acting this way, that you understand that even though the belief or the action might not be acceptable, it comes from a human place.”
Manaea is fucking back. Even if they shit the bed offensively and lose, huge day for them overall.
Excellent call.
What’s up with Vientos today? Even though he only has a single on the day, I haven’t seen him look this good at the plate since last October. If he keeps this up, the results will come.
This is because the EU will just get the higher tariffs without the courtesy of a "letter" in advance.
Alonsoooo!! Let’s go!!
Nimmo SZN!!! #Mets
Montas szn? #LGM
