The Guardians continue to be a case study in how much overachievement you can squeeze out of a ~.500-quality roster via the vibes being immaculate.

That Torkelson HBP *sounded* like it hit the bat (even though it didn’t) - which I think means it must have hurt like hell.

Next move from OMB - canceling $8 billion in clean energy funds. You will note, all of the projects are in states led by Democrats

This popup ad on the MLB app today sure makes an interesting player choice for Cleveland.

Good morning.

The government is shut down because Trump wants to act like a king and steal from you.

Democrats have no obligation to support a budget that funds the destruction of our democracy - and DOUBLES health premiums to fund a tax cut for billionaires.

This is objectively Biden-July-debate bad, but you’re right: our collective media entities refuse to see or cover him in that light.

The flew the entire military leadership in so they could see for themselves that the Secretary of Defense is a mouthbreathing dipshit and the Commander in Chief is a senile, weak old man who might keel over at any moment.

the daily caller published a call to violence of the left yesterday, a news organization that has connections to the heritage foundation

Noel just can’t possibly be on the team again next year.

It’s difficult to imagine a communicator less equipped for the current moment than Jeffries. Just awful.

holy crap

everybody hates these guys, their ideas are stupid, and you do not have to fall into the trap of assuming trump’s win says anything meaningful about what americans actually want. for instance, americans actually don’t want to ban vaccines. they want this guy banished to a desert island

I'm reading the shooter had tattoos that said "ANTIFA 4 LIFE" and "Ridin' with Biden 2028"

The Guardians were as many as 15.5 games behind in the division in early July

This is the largest deficit overcome to tie or take the lead in a division (1969-on) or league (1900-‘68)

Their 11-game Sept deficit is the largest Sept deficit overcome to tie/lead

9-0 SCOTUS ruling from last year:
“Government officials cannot attempt to coerce private parties in order to punish or suppress views that the government disfavors.”

There’s a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for people to build on the rubble of what’s being destroyed before our eyes. Private corporations bending over to forcefeed everyone government-approved speech is evil and amoral, but more than anything this creates boring, inauthentic, unwatchable shit.

A future administration should seize and disband Sinclair.

Sinclair is demanding that Kimmel apologize to the family (?) and also "make a meaningful personal donation to the Kirk Family and Turning Point USA"

Are you fucking kidding me? It's not enough they got him fired, they want him to grovel and send money to these anti-free speech grifters?

Shohei Ohtani, career:

Andrew Miller, career as RP:
504 IP, 35-28, 2.95 ERA, 2.90 xFIP, 1.10 WHIP, 12.93 K/9, 3.59 BB/9, 10.2 fWAR

Hall of Fame bat whose casual side hustle matches Andrew Miller's relief career 😂

Black graphic reading in small text "Our government answers to us, whether they like it or not". In larger text underneath it reads "Join us on October 18 at a protest near you". Underneath the text, there are collaged photos of protests.

When President Trump tries to silence dissent, we just get louder.

In the last three days the largest cable news network in the country has advocated for outright killing both mentally ill and homeless people and this will not even warrant a single news article

Melissa Hortman practiced politics the right way.

Good lord the video of the Kirk shooting is terrifying.

Epstein Birthday Letter With Trump’s Signature Revealed Lawyers for Epstein’s estate have given Congress a copy of the 2003 birthday book.

Exclusive: Jeffrey Epstein’s estate has given Congress a copy of the 2003 birthday book, including the letter with Trump’s signature that he has said doesn’t exist.

Comparing across roughly the same career PAs:

Kyle Schwarber (5,275 PA):
333 HR, .231/.346/.501, 126 wRC+, .269 ISO, 14.1 BB%, 28.3 K%

Adam Dunn (first 5,273 career PA, through 8/24/2009):
311 HR, .251/.385/.524, 132 wRC+, .274 ISO, 16.9 BB%, 26.4 K%

Very similar hitters on paper.

when he does finally go i will demand not just the death certificate but the long form death certificate

I, for one, believe the convicted sex offender who said this to the President's personal criminal-defense lawyer while trying to obtain a pardon. Totally credible, case closed. Definitely don't need to release Epstein's accounts to see if there are any transfers of funds from Trump.

Spencer Strider's xwOBA allowed on his last 50 plate appearances faced is .497 😶
