As long as we donāt play the Mets in NY we golden.
NEW: A week or so ago, one federal agent kept popping up in videos from Trump's violent DC crackdownāso @jsweetli.bsky.social and I investigated. Turns out he's a 26-year-old US Parks Police officer, a lesser known law enforcement unit currently championed by Interior Sec. Doug Burnum. Our report:
Not real but still fun to watch.
B of course. Get outta here people saying A trying to look smart.
Itās beautiful #RingTheBell

People call him Wee Willie Lampkin, right? I mean they have to right?
I guess we can surmise that Andrew Makuba is healthy and therefore starting
Everything was going so well and you had to mess with the dang spider.
Can they get a giant Duran-tula to crawl around in the corn while it is on fire when Jhoan closes out the game?
Are you an AI?
Every night, I say a little prayer before I fall asleep.
ICE is now saving us from those infamously dangerousā¦ violinists.ššš
Rap: Teams are reaching out to try and trade for EDGEs Micah Parsons, Trey Hendrickson.
Kenyon Green reportedly waived. Eagles 'cut down to 53' tracker updated... www.phillyvoice.com/eagles-cut-d...
Y'all The ICE building in Portland is painting a line in front of their building But they don't even know how to spell government

Eagles fullback Ben VanSumeren with a first down reception. He's looked comfortable as both a ball carrier and pass-catcher despite previously playing on defense.
Been a very quiet summer for Antwaun Powell-Ryland Jr., so, nice to see the rookie finally make a play with a forced fumble against the Jets. He had 9 FFs in college.
Fly, last episode of the Bootleg Summer Series, fly: youtu.be/l4EgxT16itw?...
Alvarado getting suspended forced the Phillies to go out and finally get a real closer in Duran who will be the piece that finally put them over the top so good job, JosƩ!
āIts worth noting that when A.J. Brown and DeVonta Smith both play in games, the Eagles are 41-10ā
25 Eagles training camp questions ā, answered āļø www.phillyvoice.com/25-eagles-tr...
The Eagles have an .800 winning percentage when AJ Brown and Davonta Smith both play - itās pretty much all anyone needs to know about the Eagles.
Why?
G-Love and All the Sauces
Be considered āoldā when youāre only 29.
Every time I read an article this summer about how the Eagles were so stocked on the secondary now I thought, somehow, some way, probably not.
Vic Fangio said Cooper DeJean will get reps at outside corner today. (We havenāt yet seen that this summer.)
Who wouldāve thought weād go from best rotation in baseball to: Ace on 15 day DL #2 looking awfully cooked #3 looking like a 3 now more than the ace he use to resemble #4 looking like he would be better off in the BP # 5 looking like best game 1 option if playoffs started today Long man as #2?!?!?
āPhillies finish with a winning 6-4 road trip!ā Man, it definitely did not feel like that lol. What a week.
Bye Bye Big Bird š¢ No more #npr
Wait till they wake up tomorrow and find out he gave them to Alaska.
Walking around and discovering new things!
One thing I know for sure is that if *I* called the cops and said āsome guy just threw a sandwich at meā they would consider me to be a huge baby and think I was wasting their time.
Going on Good Morning America this morning to talk the 20th anniversary of The Lightning Thief publication and the forthcoming Court of the Dead!
The President cannot commandeer any local law enforcement. The President does not run the Smithsonian. The monthly BLS jobs report is required by law. Release the Epstein files. Thank you for your attention to this matter.
Just not Bernie or AOC lol
holy shit this is a helluva ad from the Democrat running against Joni Ernst in Iowa. worth every second
The thing with categorizations is no one answers whats a 2 or a 1 or an ace the same, which is why I asked what you think. If you are calling him a 2 then I would think that means any team you put him on he would be the 2nd best and capable of carrying the team in the 1ās absense. He aint that.
Having a good year sure. Second best pitcher on any team you put him on? Heās not even the second best pitcher on the Phillies. Let me ask you this - do you believe every single team has a number one or āaceā pitcher?
Great column from Britt!
We have had a lot of fun at Taijuan Walker's expense in his time here, but the guy could have taken his money and just packed it in, and instead turned himself into a fine fifth starter and the lose of Nola and Painter not being ready hasn't hurt them. The Mets would give their left nut for him.
Not sure about your definition of a number two. Last year he was pitching like a number two all right but not the one youāre talking about. This year - solid five.
Thinking about Jared McCain relocation 3s
I mean, they SENT Maxwell to Texas.
"We're all throwing dildos at women athletes to promote our memecoin" really puts a fine point on not just how sexist, mean and stupid so much of right now is, but also the grim degree to which we're just inundated with Stuff a 15-Year-Old Dipshit Would Think is Cool. A confederacy of Beavises.
Super Bowl on NFLN right now. The opening drive OPI on A.J. Brown was laughable.
"Bluesky is dying" Oh yeah? Then explain why this GIF always does numbers.
Philadelphia Eagles star running back Saquon Barkley said he was surprised to learn he had been named to the Presidentās Council on Sports, Fitness and Nutrition because he had turned down the opportunity earlier this year.
Philadelphia Eagles Star Declines Invite To Join Trumpās Sports Council https://twp.ai/4iouyQ
The Philadelphia Eagles play* a football game* today.
An offer you cannot refuse: Philadelphia Eagles superstar Saquon Barkley says he declined a spot on the presidential fitness council. Donald Trump appointed him anyway.
This is my thought on the industry news: did you know I got a photo of the Penny jacket with both Eagles Super Bowl trophies?
From @theathletic.com: Philadelphia Eagles star running back Saquon Barkley told reporters he declined an invitation to serve on President Trumpās Council on Sports, Fitness, and Nutrition.
Run this by Micahās agent please.
Jessica: I also heard no complaints when Mike Johnson decided to abdicate his job to say actually congress isn't in session anymore because I don't want to have to vote on turning over the Epstein filesā¦. so be equal opportunity in your complaints about fleeing your job
Eh
Unfortunately, this is where we are headed... shameful...š„ŗ
No where to go butā¦
Look no further than the guy who started and pitched so well for them today, Taijuan Walker. Imagine where they would be if they got rid of Walker the moment we traded for Luzardo. You just never know. Now, if you told me they were getting rid Kepler to call up Crawfordā¦
Eagles cause they look like theyāre about to eat all the rest of dem weak birds.
People keep pointing to āthe marketā or his position and I counter, what would this team look like without him? Pay the man whatever it takes to keep him.
So many questionsā¦
This whole story is insane. Tesla apparently did everything it could to avoid providing the data it had about its Autopilot crash. This is just a snippet and there's a lot more. electrek.co/2025/08/04/t...
49? Oof. That seems like a āIām probably not going to playā number. I wonder whatās really going on with this move, has Booker seemed like a solid depth piece and they would appear to have had lots of corner options. Is it due to the MacWilliams injury?
Meet Darny Krukendyksling
Bryce Harper in 27 games since returning from the injured list on 6/30: .294/.390/.647 1.037 OPS 8 HR 14 RBI
Tongue and cheekā¦ I was reading thatās what they want to do to the Linc.
Tear it down and put up a dome. š
I posted the other day that, not to diminish CC, why is he an easy Hall if Fame pick while Jimmy is considered a longshot?
Jimmy Rollins has 4 gold gloves and a better fielding % than any shortstop already in the Hall of Fame.
I hear this from teams often and wonder is there some defensive coach out there who says donāt worry about forcing fumbles?
Either way, go birds.
Hays was also oft injured before the trade, and ended up with less total ABs combined between Philly and the Oās then Bader has already. Its not a serious comparison when seriously examined.
I am sensing your futureā¦
I will take the Meh I havenāt seen over the Meh I already know. Plus, Bader does have so many better proven qualities over the the Meh he will replace.
The Twins must have missed it or else the would have jacked up the price!
I wish the prospects the best!
Phillies have made the trade official. Jhoan DurƔn is a Phillie.
Loving the trade
Roy Oswald
Crazy - Lee and Osborn Mundane that paid off - Blanton, Stairs, Moyer Seemed crazy but ended up mundane - Pence Mundane - everything since 2010
Phillies reportedly 'prominently in' on Jhoan DurƔn, who could be traded today onpattison.com/news/2025/ju...
What the hell is wrong with our civilization?
āThereās no mention [in the media] of what we find in the desert, which is like bibles, and love notes, and keychains with pictures of little kids, and all these clothes." Instead, what Americans hear is āall this āinvasionā bullshit."
You may need to consider revising your total.
Why is CC an easy pick and Jimmy Rollins is questionable?
The world will indeed celebrate. However, it doesnāt change swamp that is social media that gives rise to people like him.
