I love baseball, particularly the Cubs, and pickleball. Luckily, I have a wonderful wife who understands my obsessions. My three kids are great, too.

Can I crash out for two minutes, and then reset?

They snowed in the documentary.

When he dressed up as mime, and just started talking. Genius.

13/14. I got the Tom part but forgot Mees.

Boy, you truly have become the The Region’s Mr. Olympics [complimentary].

I did not know that Dane sounds like Wendell Pierce.

Named the third major leaguer in that lineup.

He shocked me with his solid performance as a Cub. Took a little sting out of the Andrew Vaughn bullshit with an emphasis on the word "little".

They do the same about Chicago. Dumb and shameful.

Dylan Moore won a GG despite rating low?

It’s at least admirable that he was willing to admit it publicly.

Bad

He’s going to hit at least 7 dongs against Cubs with 3 of them being against Shota. He’s not too far away from Mike Schmidt level of Cubs killing. He’s not nearing Willie Mays level of Cubs killing. That’s another stratosphere.

Yeah, I just saw that. Two Rubes, damn it. I live in Kankakee, IL where Rube lived in an institution after the gas leak incident.

@adarowski.bsky.social I understand that Rube didn’t play in the NML. Why is he an available player if he can’t be used? I haven’t seen an opportunity to use him. I must be missing something. It’s a bit confusing. He’s an available player on my Negro Leagues strat-o-matic. Thanks for listening.

I watched Best in Show for the first time. Of course, she and Levy played it perfectly.

Maybe he can do a reverse Fassero.

Statement from Michael and Susan Pretti
Parents of Alex Jeffrey Pretti

β€œWe are heartbroken but also very angry.

Alex was a kindhearted soul who cared deeply for his family and friends and also the American veterans whom he cared for as an ICU nurse at the Minneapolis VA hospital. Alex wanted to make a difference in this world. Unfortunately, he will not be with us to see his impact.

I do not throw around the β€˜hero’ term lightly. However, his last thought and act was to protect a woman. The sickening lies told about our son by the administration are reprehensible and disgusting. Alex is clearly not holding a gun when attacked by Trump’s murdering and cowardly ICE thugs. He had his phone in his right hand and his empty left hand is raised above his head while trying to protect the woman ICE just pushed down, all while being pepper sprayed. 

Please get the truth out about our son. He was a good man. Thank you.

In November 2024, I bought an Xbox so I could play EA Sports as a distraction. I’m 55 years old.

Isn’t Drake LaRoche supposed to be in mlb by now? That’s what I was told.

I disagree. I listen to him on MLBN and as a guest on podcasts. His takes are nowhere near the harmful and idiotic takes from Smoltz.

He knows exactly what he’s doing with that hairstyle.

Probably the likely outcome after he was fired before he got to manage the Mets.
