🎶 Adrian is through Ooh, ooh ooh Shams said, ‘Whew’
My cool wife teaches 9th grade English in Baltimore. Because of budget cuts in an already impoverished area she has spent over $400 on classroom shit the school should be supplying. Please consider helping or sharing this Wishlist of supplies/treats for her kids www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/...
The paisan came nowhere near on that shank!
if vibes were a consideration they'd just wave the guardians into the playoffs and dismiss the astros.
"good lookin' out"
@ericstephen.bsky.social “icymi” -
with gratuitous Dominique reference, to boot!
““The game’s going to tell you what to do. It always tells you.” Aaron Judge explains his latest superpower - situational awareness and the ability to respond - as he closes in on perhaps his most unlikely feat: Leading the major leagues in batting. www.usatoday.com/story/sports...
THIS IS IMPORTANT Louisville gave Pudge his own locker for game day 😭😭😭
Jazz Chisholm has a 30-homer season, the sort of accomplishment that tends to immunize one against attacks on footwear or style.
and hoooo boy was that deal baaad.
Max Fried has the good stuff tonight.
You did a really nice job formatting those standings and I’m gonna sit with that for a while.
Justin Verlander's ERA is now 3.75. Twenty starting pitchers have ERAs between 3.75 and 4.50 (a quality start). 3 have 12 to 14 wins 3 have 11 wins 4 have 10 wins 5 have 9 wins 4 have 5 to 8 wins. Verlander has three wins, hovering at 265 for his career at age 42. Cruel game!
It's Southern Millionaires University, not Sufficiently Manly University.
just a really good little pop song.
Carpenter also covered 30 more innings than Clemens, a significant boon to the total staff, with a similar WHIP and Ks per nine.
journalism was never cool. *Robert Redford and Hoffman* were cool b/c the only way to make a Watergate movie was to have it star these two extremely cool/sexy people! Reporters and good reporting are vital to a functioning democracy but it's a job for fucking dorks! It's a dorky profession! JFC!
I have been practicing my speech for weeks if I get door-knocked by certain candidates.
man, you really are a double-barreled paisana!
I like your odds!
As Spencer Strider throws fewer and fewer fastballs, his results get better and better. Unthinkable for the MLB's king of the K just two years ago - yet he's proving adept at evolving after a second Tommy John surgery. #Braves www.usatoday.com/story/sports...
same playlist?
Oh for real? Jesus hell.
CBS just getting warmed up. Jesus.
I chuckle morbidly in realizing all the most network- and league-friendly matchups will occur in the … wild card round!
I do believe it is reserved for winners and nominees...
Since the literal circular firing squad is going so well for the other side, he’s giving it a whirl.
SISKEL & EBERT, which premiered #OTD in 1986, had a master class of an opening sequence. Thirty-five seconds, 21 shots, and a flawless establishment of the professional rivalry of two Chicago newspapermen who inspired a generation of film buffs. #FilmSky #TVSky
Can provide the latter.
My god did someone just go voice-to-text and not check!
can somebody make this shit stop
Second!
Did not realize The White Shadow went on to helm SAG/AFTRA. The legacy grows.
This will be cast as “the woke mob with their pitchforks” but the vast majority of quotes and replies have been overwhelmingly explanatory and didactic. Some blended with righteous anger. Once again, someone’s arrived at the intersection of Growth and Grievance; we know which way they usually turn.
how are the corner infielders holding up?
Guess the dad with the gray shirt with the black American flag wasn’t there.
…..
Try to find something that matches your range; no absurdly high notes if that’s not in your bag. Choose a song that’s closer to esoteric than rote that the crowd will enjoy.
So sorry to hear that. She looks so loving and doting in the best way.
This is a great thread for those who aren’t Terminally Online like the rest of us
News alert with same headline also sent widely.
My dad first signed up for Twitter to follow live sports and he’s a freak about U of I. One day he said to me “Twitter is abuzz about Illini golf,” and I was like dude you only follow Illini sports accounts. And that’s how every reporter feels Charlie Kirk was the most important person in the world.
“Did we just have this conversation? No we didn’t”
This is also why the centrists can’t get all “but what about the red state crime rates??” when they occupy a DC or Chicago.
not a terrible loss. short week really seemed a factor; they were a step slow on both sides of the ball. but to stop it from snowballing and make it a one-score game late, not bad.
anecdata, but I've found Nick in the modern arena to be a real dick name.

Amazing. You caught it.
What do you figure the odds are at this point that dude was ex-military?
Those fuckers.

Have seen this reposted a few times and the explicit framing of Gen Z doing all this remains amusing. “Couldn’t be me burning down the parliament!” “Bestie, you ate with that! Finance minister has no rizz!”

This is such an important interview about an important front line in the fight against fascist and authoritarian consolidation. "By every moral or ethical standard it is the duty of soldiers to refuse orders to “defend” the US from migrants. History will look kindly upon those who do."
Strong suspicion that “moderate” = “tired of getting typecast because of Him so I’ll slide a column over.”
Looks like the cat is saying, “The more you live the faster you will die.”
Josh Harrison used a similar tune as his walkup song and all I could ever see was soulless John Legend.
In the last week of the 1936 campaign, FDR reminded a massive crowd in Madison Square Garden that "organized money" was "unanimous in their hate for me--and I welcome their hatred!" And then the country rewarded him with a 523-8 landslide in the electoral college. This is, in fact, good politics.

Love this for you
They’re scary, ngl

they really screwed Lamar out of that mvp
Clayton Kershaw just induced a groundout on a 59 mph curveball. Must have learned that from Greinke.
Shohei Ohtani has two home runs and it is the third inning and perhaps something is developing. Forty-eight homers.
Maryland Gov. Wes Moore and #Dodgers manager Dave Roberts exchange pleasantries on a Sunday morning.
(adjusts glasses)
Only Tanner "Baseball Hates Me" Scott can save them. Delicious-ass theatre tonight.
The #Dodgers are a blooper away from one of the worst losses in franchise history*. * - give or take
"I was thinking, Yamamo-whoa"
Yoshinobu Yamamoto is through seven innings and no hits, on 95 pitches against the #Orioles. His #Dodgers high pitch count is 110, while he once threw 138 pitches in a Japan Series game in 2023.
'leave the f---- luxury boxes alone....'
oh wow Caitlin Clark is in the house, wearing an old school #Orioles cap, along with Fever teammate Lexie Hull.
Yoshinobu Yamamoto's no-hit bid picking up some steam. Just 12 pitches needed in the fifth and sixth innings and he's at 84 through six. #Dodgers #Orioles
Shulman made it feel ok for a while and now it's more painful than anything.
Among the celebs offering video tribute to Cal Ripken Jr. for his streak-busting anniversary (Joan Jett, Adam Jones, Chris Berman, etc.) the biggest cheers reserved, of course, for Local Luminary Lamar Jackson.
But his memes
we have rejected him as a #FullertonMan
As the #Orioles celebrate 30 years since Cal Ripken Jr. passed Lou Gehrig, labor storm clouds again loom on the horizon. And baseball would be wise to note that this time, Cal won't be around to "save" it. www.usatoday.com/story/sports...
Tanner Scott aptly describing his woes and also the #Dodgers - "Baseball hates me right now.
to paraphrase charles barkley, same old sorry ass chargers
AJ Ellis never more than a phone call away...
Dalton Rushing just smoked himself in the right leg with a foul ball and was carried off the field. Looks like it got some meat just below his knee but who knows. He's leaving the game and the #Dodgers, already down Will Smith tonight, will be left with Ben Rortvedt behind the plate.
Always a great day at the ballpark when Jane Leavy is there and better still when she has copies of her latest, greatest book: Make Me Commissioner: I Know What's Wrong with Baseball and How to Fix It. #legend
Shohei Ohtani is starting tonight for the #Dodgers because Tyler Glasnow has back stiffness, manager Dave Roberts said. A mild illness pushed Ohtani to Monday but at 2 pm, he met with Mark Prior and said he was up for facing the #Orioles. Roberts hopes it buoys the club, swept out of Pittsburgh.
It's really easy to mentally or otherwise come up with a "no-fly list," and adhere to it. Cuz there's a lot of stories out there!
A big part of my summer was spent writing Blue Ribbon previews --- 74 teams total. All 365 D-I teams are included in the (roughly) 900,000-word annual edition. @blueribbonyearbook.bsky.social is the best way to get ready for college hoops season. blueribbonyearbook.com/collections/...
