Juan Frias on X: "Por esto fue que a Giménez lo golpearon con la pelota en el siguiente lanzamiento. Porque sacó la mano buscando ser golpeado de manera intencional.

Yes but hitters are intentionally putting their hands in the path of the pitch to get a free base.

Trump is literally taking toys from kids!

KING5 reached out to the EPA & asked why they terminated the grant for the [Tacoma] schoolyard project.
An EPA spokesman said:
“Maybe the Biden-Harris admin. shouldn't have forced their radical agenda of wasteful DEI programs and 'environmental justice'..."

I'll drink your health
Share your wealth
Run your life
Steal your wife
Wave that flag
Wave it wide and high

Happy 4th of July from Trump's America.
Still grateful though 💀⚡

Civale traded to ChiSox after bullpen pushback The Brewers have traded Aaron Civale, who resisted Milwaukee's attempt to move him to the bullpen, to the White Sox for first baseman Andrew Vaughn.

What a move by the Brewers... "you don't want to go to the bullpen? Fine, go to the White Sox."

Trump cancels landmark Columbia River agreement with tribes, WA, OR The Biden administration brokered the deal in 2023 that provided a pathway to dam removal on the Snake River.

Can Trump call it the 'green agenda' if this is an assist to renewable energy sources?

How Seattle's love affair with Starbucks has soured Market research data shows Starbucks' popularity has taken a bigger hit in Seattle in recent years than in any other large metro area, writes FYI Guy.

Can't believe San Jose, home of the excellent Philz Coffee, is still the #1 market for Starbucks.

Dodgers release veteran Taylor, activate Edman The Dodgers have released utilityman Chris Taylor, a postseason hero who has been with the team since 2016, and activated Tommy Edman.

Taylor instead of Conforto is baffling to me

Cory Booker’s historic speech energizes a discouraged Democratic base | CNN Politics As Democratic Sen. Cory Booker neared Strom Thurmond’s record for the longest speech in Senate history Tuesday night, the typically sparsely filled viewing galleries above the Senate floor grew packed...

I think we're probably overstating the impact a bit but hey at least the Senate filibuster record is no longer a speech supporting segregation

Is planting trees 'DEI'? Trump administration cuts nationwide tree-planting effort The Trump administration's efforts to end DEI programs is hitting some unexpected targets, including a nationwide effort planting shade trees in neighborhoods to reduce extreme heat.

Could it benefit districts that may not have voted red? Cut it.
Could it benefit the greater, collective good? Cut it.
Does it benefit white, Christian, upper middle class people? Double down.

Disappointing.

I didn't expect this level of buyer's remorse on the part of Anaheim. In 2020, I would have welcomed Rendon as a Dodger (except of course he wasn't into the "Hollywood lifestyle")

"In a letter to Costco CEO Ron Vachris, 18 state AGs demanded that within 30 days, it repeal its DEI policies or explain why it hasn't."
...
Costco, a publicly traded company, put the question to its shareholders.
98% voted in support of the policy.

You know this is what I'm rooting for!
