Exactly. That was an otherworldly performance.

I like Ohtani so much that I can't be upset. And watching Yamamoto pitch is like art.

Wasn't the best email ever, was it?

Vin is an amazing person. I've been lucky enough to be his friend for 20+ years. Dunno anyone who will be able to sell St. Louis to potential players like he did.

I really hope someone *cough* @hornekerjustin.bsky.social *cough* asks the team about this.

This is so true. Check out the latest episode where one of us goes searching for ways to insult someone from Argentina...

So obvious...

Wasn't the new sporting director supposed to be making these decisions?

Who looks at this and says "yeah, that looks great for a DP"?

A $1 million raise is completely bonkers. Although once you're over the threshold then you're just playing with the owner's money.

ChatGPT prompt - "who are guys that at some point crossed paths with John Hackworth in the US Soccer youth program?" Then offer them all 1 year plus 2 option years. I'll take my paycheck now.

Yeah, I screwed up my counting. Whoops!

Oh, right. Thanks for that catch.

That’s correct. Huge @hornekerjustin.bsky.social fan.

1. No he is not.

2. Maybe, but it isn't trivial to get there. You either have to find someone willing to take JGR now, or you release Sangbin, which maybe is fine, but then why did you waste $1 million dollars?

It makes zero sense. If his salary is able to be bought down, that means it is less than max TAM. If that is the case, why would you make him a DP? The only reason to make him a DP is because his salary is over max TAM.

Man, and I really like Justin too...

Who is reporting that? I want to know who has bad sources.

Because Burkis new salary is too high to buy down.

Burki just signed a new DP contract. And you'd have to drop a current U22 player to switch.

No DP spots left...

Exactly. Welcome Bill Kristol with open arms, for example.

That’s really incredible! Nice work!!

Burki looks like a dude who got his fat contract and doesn’t care and Fall continues to look like a guy who discovered the sport of soccer 4 months ago.

The field in this Colombia vs Mexico game is embarrassing. This can’t be the plan for the World Cup, right?

The most fundamental political debate of our time: You are integrated into and have responsibility for our complex, imperfect society vs. Nuh-uh.

I feel like I read that was also the key to his standout year at St. Pauli - finally being freed to do what he does best.

A lot of people are gonna take this to mean City screwed up firing him. I’d ask those people to maybe consider that Carnell learned from his failures here and grew. (Or coaches don’t matter.)

I cancelled YouTube premium yesterday. Paramount+ last month. It’s small, but meaningful to me.

Thats a really good time for your first one ever! Keep at it!
