This guy just saying any tough quotes he can remember. “Remember the Alamo.” You have to try to match the quote to reality so it doesn’t sound stupid man

The Country That Starts the War Is Wrong That's us.

"We are wrong because we started the war" should be the anchor point for all coverage of what's happening and it's remarkable how quickly that tends to get obscured.

Hey everyone! I'm joining the @thebaltimorebanner.com as a sports enterprise & features reporter. I’ll also help out w/the Banner's Nats/O's coverage.

Growing up in Baltimore County, it's a privilege to write about the intersection of Baltimore community, culture and sports.

The Dirty Inning: Going Dutch at the World Baseball Classic | Hittin' Season Get more from Hittin' Season on Patreon

Dirty innings recognize no international boundaries.

There are barely any Phillies in our World Baseball Classic episode, which is of course about two Netherlands-Dominican Republic games from 2009.

I also still have copies I’m selling, if you’re looking for one! (Buying books from the author lets the author keep the profit)

One of the kind of fucked up parts of the ICE occupation here is that a lot of folks want to believe it’s over, and the media seems to tell us it’s over, but folks on the ground are still seeing tons of activity and vulnerable people are still (rightfully) terrified to go outside. We can’t stop yet.

What you idiot commies don’t understand is that if we tax rich people they will JUST LEAVE, depriving our nation of tax cheats, political bribery, and national acts of perversion

I was interviewed on "Book Talk" with @franzkela.bsky.social and @ahpod.bsky.social. It was a thought-provoking exchange in which we dared to answer the question: What is a book, if not a conversation with your own mind? Mmm.

The Birdcage: How an MLB owner could earn from Trump's mass deportation plan eyeblack identified an LLC, created by Orioles boss David Rubenstein’s private equity firm that sold a warehouse DHS is converting into a migrant jail.

NEW: Trump's Department of Homeland Security bought an Atlanta-area warehouse it's converting into a migrant jail.

I found the LLC selling the warehouse shares a DC address with The Carlyle Group, the Baltimore Orioles new owner's private equity firm.

All the pieces matter. issa new [eyeblack]:

An all-new Dirty Inning tells the tale of Steve Susdorf, who played outfield or third base or something. And back in 2013, he wasn't doing great!

Well, well, well! If it isn't the perfect Valentine's Day reading...

I heard tell that the author will be signing copies while tailgating on Opening Day.

Maybe a personal failing of mine but I would get sooooo annoyed by a teammate yelling "curl! curl! curl!" at me while I was actively curling
