Earlier this month, the Rangers installed a statue in their concourse that had previously been removed from public display over concerns about the racism. @davyandrewsdavy.bsky.social on the statue's history, the Ranger whose likeness it bears, and the team's decision not to grapple with either.

WELL NOW, would you look at that?

A massive, 4-YEAR-LONG study of NEARLY 30 MILLION people in France found that individuals who received a COVID-19 mRNA vaccine had a 74% LOWER risk of death from severe COVID-19 compared to unvaccinated individuals and ZERO increased risk of all-cause mortality.

eh, MLB has bat flips and fist pumps galore now as well as far more fraternization around the game. To suddenly dial back 50 years just for this and represent themselves as sour hardos looks goddamn ridiculous in that light.

at the insistence of my (now ex-)brother in law, who briefly worked for the Brewers, we did 2006 Pool 2 in Puerto Rico. The PR-DR game was a gas, but the real draw was seeing the Cubans when they were still mysterious. Yuli Gurriel was 22 Alexei Ramirez 24, both near the height of ther game.

Proud moment: while cooking fried rice for dinner, I responded to a question from my daughter (now 9 1/2) about what I was making with “Mmmm, unexplained bacon.”

Without missing a beat she replied, “Mmmm, floor pie.”

We understand each other.
