Allison 🧬⚾️

I understand why he chose the number. I’m just kidding around. Single digit numbers for pitchers is weird! Also Díaz isn’t really Stearns’ fault. He chose LA, which is his right.

Also want to be clear that I saw this image while scrolling/in group chats. I'm going to say to my fellow Mets fans that there is no reason for any of you to be watching the Díaz or Alonso introductory pressers (nor any reason for the Mets beat to be covering them tbh).

The image of Edwin Díaz in a No. 3 jersey just dealt me unexpected psychic damage. That's not a closer's number. Unnatural and evil.

“I miss blockbuster video” the library has every dvd totally untouched and I never see you there

I see the concerns people have with this policy and I agree it would have been better if they had just raised the cap across the board. But I was expecting nothing so compared to nothing, I’m calling this a win.

LET’S GOOOOOOOOO

After the past few days as a Mets fan, this is a W I so desperately needed.

Someone needs to do a faceapp merge of Shawn Green and Omar Minaya STAT

“Shawn Minaya” is absolutely taking me out I can’t stop laughing

felt like I haven’t had my best writing fastball for a minute. It’s back. On Pete Alonso for @baseballprospectus.com www.baseballprospectus.com/news/article...

love how the league and board of governors are acting like they had no idea rodman’s contract ended this offseason, all this really could’ve been resolved months ago yet now they’re scrambling to find some random half-assed solution instead of using the time to figure out how to raise the cap

Book 24 of 2025: I read my first book by Murakami—one of my husband’s favorite authors—last year (Norwegian Wood). This year, I am dipping my toes into the pool of his more surrealist work.

Congrats!!!

Yes this is how I feel too. I understand the business decision and even agree with it to an extent, but that doesn’t mean I don’t feel bummed out.

I don't think the Orioles have any interest in taking on those guys lol.

Maybe! I could see it I guess.

I am going to miss Pete a lot, but if the Mets were letting him walk, the Orioles was the best outcome I could have hoped for. Pete Alonso and the Bird Bath is a match made in heaven. I think Baltimore will be good to him. Please treat him well, O's fans. He's our large home run hitting goober. 🧡

Disclaimer: we recorded this last night before ✨today’s events✨ but I just forgot to post it on socials until now.

Diamond Baseball Holdings is now up to 48 teams

The Eagles literally just won the Super Bowl I do not think you can convince me Eagles fans are suffering all that much lol.

Okay now I'm actually upset.

A tweet from Ken Rosenthal: Edwin Diaz's deal with the Dodgers is for three years, sources tell me and Will Sammon.

Ohhhhhh this makes it so much worse omg

Also I tried to tell you guys that when the Mets signed Williams that meant Díaz was gone and you didn't want to believe me lol.

A screen shot of two tweets back-to-back my newsfeed. The first is from Will Sammon: "Edwin Diaz and the Los Angeles Dodgers are in agreement on a deal, league source tells The Athletic." The second is from Jeff Passan: "News: Kyle Schwarber is coming back to Philadelphia, agreeing to a five-year, $150 million contract that gives the Phillies a much-needed power boost and should pave the way for more free agent signings in the coming weeks."

Really not a fun pair of posts to see in the ole feed back-to-back.

That would be news to me if this was reported a few weeks ago, but maybe I missed it then.

I had begun to make peace with him potentially leaving, but the idea of Narco playing in Dodger Stadium is harshing that vibe quite a bit.

Senkowski said when he pressed the league office about the veto, NWSL representatives said the contract didn’t contradict any CBA clauses but that it violated the spirit of the rules.

"Oh my god, he admit it!"
