Don't Buy Starbucks! At any location, today and beyond, while workers are on ULP strike!

As of this morning, Starbucks workers across the country are officially ON STRIKE. And we're prepared for this to become the biggest and longest ULP strike in Starbucks history.

Say #NoContractNoCoffee with us: DON'T BUY STARBUCKS for the duration of our open-ended ULP strike! $SBUX

I would like for Cleveland to acquire Addison Barger.

The Guards, specifically, are fun as hell, and presumably will be increasing so. Many familiar frustrations appeared, but they sure find a way to make you forget about the deficiencies for a while and stick around. My days of hyper-analyzing ball are over, but I enjoy/missed the e-social component.

What a healing season. Baseball, especially in these days of accelerating fascism, is of little significance. Additionally, personal priorities have changed in recent years, and I had largely lost touch with the game. I found my way back this spring, and it remains a strong redirection of attention.

Have not been to a postseason game in quite a while. That ruled.

Sitting near Ryan Garko, who is now the Tigers’ assistant general manager.

Best lineup of the year.

Weaponize the ~Rookies 2025.

Well, holy shit.

The ebbs and flows, as every game is happening simultaneously, are incredible. Guards go down; Tigers go up. Guards chip away; Red Sox tie.

This is the happiest I've ever seen a guy who just got hit by 95 mph.

Hell yeah, 28.

George Valera's first home run at Progressive Field. What a moment.

They never made me stop believing in you, George.

Go crazy, Bo.

Hellllll yeah.

Bibee acing up down the stretch after being rather pedestrian most of the season sure is a relief.

Maybe the 10-game losing streak ultimately becomes too much for the Guardians’ record to overcome, but what a special immediate response. 19-7 since, despite losing two key pitchers to the most controversial topic in baseball and nearly trading their second-best player in the meantime.

Going to need Bibee to wake up at some point this season.

Hellllll yeah.

There was also an “I want to be here for a long time” during the postgame spot with Andre.

I would simply not platoon my second-to-third-best hitter.

Unsurprisingly, Kwan stays. Thrilled about Khal Stephen. Sewald is no real loss. Get Kayfus and DeLauter up shortly, and try to make a run. I think they will.

He is probably their fourth-best hitter (hysterical), but I feel like Cleveland could move Schneemann for a return of note. He will be 29 in January and I am not compelled by him.

Potentially no contender wanting Santana bums me out in a way.

(With the caveat that they are always going to listen to offers, as they should.)

If Cleveland is willing to trade Kwan, they might as well be willing to trade José. I am not buying it.

Tyler Freeman gets on base more frequently than anyone on Cleveland? Okay.
