They‘ve given MLB only one recourse and it’s a harsh one: the McCourts are back in as majority owners immediately.

They’re not the heroes we deserve, but they’re the ones we need right now.

I was told our organizational processes were elite and our front office decision-makers were smart now.

How are we ranking this nadir next to July 2023, September 2021, or 2018, or 2011…?

So, um, how are we feeling about the probability of a WS in one fan’s lifetime at the moment?
(For no reason, let’s say, mid to late 30s, male, non-smoker, if BP’s got the good actuarial tables)

Perhaps learning to play SS is easier than learning how to avoid acting like an asshole.

I can’t wait for the minds over at Quant-6 Computing to unveil their MLB model.
Sure, it will use up most of Earth’s electricity and submerge the once-great city of Amsterdam, but I kinda wanna know if the Pirates are “Stink, but Skenes!”

I instead choose to crash out because the SP the Mets targeted two off seasons ago took less money from the Dodgers to annoy me for a decade.

My sympathies to the biggest Philadelphia Phillies fans I know: Joe Biden, Samuel Alito, and Benjamin Netanyahu. I’ll see you in Valhalla.

Big Umper.

This is some north-of-the-border-Rich-Staff posting.

An ‘Ichi Lager’ can with Ichiro on it.

I’m not going to take credit for the M’s first home win since ’01, but I’m just saying I grabbed one of these from the fridge just before the bottom of the 8th.

Let me check.
Huh, the updated rules say yes, but only for the Dodgers and Yankees, somehow.

I guess the worm never actually turned.

Ask your doctor about ”Less Absurd Tactical Managing” (TM)

To be clear, I don’t think that “Meg lives inside computer and makes these numbers up,” but I am trying to reconcile the idea that the Mets could somehow win the WS without making the playoffs first. Is it the WS that takes place in my heart? Or some kind of “the Cubs got the measles” situation

@megrowler.fangraphs.com Wait, so the projection is that the Reds are twice as likely as the Mets to play October baseball (makes sense) but the Mets are almost 3x as likely to win the WS anyway? Is math broken? Or should I have failed AP stats back in high school?

This one just kind of flowed out of me. Good to learn that my subconscious is just always assembling an aggressively 2005 lineup card.

Declare it for yourself at 18, with your voter registration.

I see we moved on to understanding the Spanish mind.

You should know better than to risk the ire of listeners with opinions on things like, "Which vegetable would field first base like Keith Hernandez?"

This year's #1 overall pick in the "Holiday Gifs" draft

I expect better from "America's #1 Sports Podcast" (TM)

To be fair, I guess you never said *which* Monday.

I'm ready.

The first thing that popped into my head seeing this list was, "Where's Bautista?" but of course, he falls short of 150 IP

I trust that @sepinwall.bsky.social drafted well within both the letter and spirit of the rules.

I'm holding out for when they auction off the first base bag that Cole neglected to cover

Fuckers in black turtlenecks have just been tinkering around the margins with hot honey and acting like they're innovating.

Juan and Francisco Lindor are about to play the sickest game of Ping Pong right next to the kombucha.
