Channeling my inner @mayorofoakland.bsky.social with this haul for a Tahoe trip of sports enjoyment

Your in with him is to learn everything there is to know about caring for the dog and then slide in the DMs with helpful tips.

The Hebrew Hammer?

I had a fried chicken torta this summer that I still think about from time to time. I know this wades into the one-off territory but I don't know where I was going with this. I want that torta again.

Thank you again to @felina510.bsky.social for getting me up to speed with the latest comings and goings in MLB. Another dynamite piece, this time involving the cast and characters of Canadaball, the Trolleydodgers and plenty of pop culture that doesn't dive into the Chuck Klosterman deep end.

Today's Kindergarten fun run playlist included club remixes of:
T-Pain
Empire of the Sun
Rick Ross
Bastille

However, there was a glaring omission during the walking laps where the MC was telling the kids to walk it out but did not play DJ Unk (RIP).

Perhaps this then?

Twinz got the sound that goes round and round

I’m so excited to finally share this: I’m writing a book! It’s about Oakland—its rise as a great American sports town, its fall to the billionaires who abandoned it, and, most of all, the fans and activists and founders who fought to hold onto this aspect of the city’s identity and soul.

A close friend of mine got my a cameo from Fabo and he was so kind and genuine. An incredible gift.

The glass is half full approach to this dilemma is that you and Ken Griffey Jr. are one in the same.

I'm certain that's a young Garrett Morris

I'm surprised they still have all of theirs the way the hurl toys at each other like its a game of small dense object dodgeball

Made it to the end of the week of solo parenting

I can't find the Oakland Athletics, the Atlanta Thrashers or the Pac-12. Does this mean I'm exempt from misery? Did I break the game?

What I think? I think this is incredible!

I had a chicken burrito for dinner last week that I knew ahead of time was too large to eat in one sitting. I had been to the establishment before. I had ordered the same thing before. Just like the scorpion and the frog however, 20 minutes later I had nothing but an empty foil wrapper.

That's better than 4 years of league minimum salary. Honestly, more than I would have predicted for his career. Kudos to him and any other journeymen ballplayers who can get a bag.

Oh, I vividly remember his brief time with the A's and Klay recording himself getting fired up watching his brother making a great catch in the outfield.

That's Klay's alter ego, Tray.

Reading about Service Time Manipulation is sexy. You're welcome.

Is it pro-labor and long-winded? Yes. Do I rightfully argue on behalf of Elvis Andrus? Yes. Do I sound washed for a lot of it? Probably. Enjoy, mes élèves.

Guilty! Don't want to bail on made plans again so I want to hold myself accountable.

Possibly! I might be in Atlanta that weekend. I should know if that's happening or not within the next few weeks.

Gotta give a shoutout to @felina510.bsky.social and her substack musings: felina510.substack.com

Great stuff. I was very worried about the future of the Turner Field/Fulton Co. Stadium site when the Braves white flighted to the burbs, especially the Aaron monuments at both locations. Glad that they've been preserved and will continue remain for the foreseeable future.
