This is a nice thought but roughly once a month an MP tries this on Bluesky and becomes the main character of my feed for a full day because they've said something insanely stupid

*poking the #SFGiants with a stick to get them to do something on the hot stove*
*Giants add another coach*

(I’m not complaining, these hires are great, but we are going to need some players to go with them lol)

πŸ€– Shayna Rubin

On a call with beat writers, Sam Hentges broke the news (accidentally) that Jesse Chavez (yes, the former A's, Braves etc. pitcher) will be the Giants' bullpen coach.

It is just beyond my comprehension how so many people apparently wake up every day determined to find as many low to high level nasty things to do as they can.

Are there still people who think JK Rowling is playing with a full deck of cards? I know her specific variety of mental decline is in vogue but come on

Luciano's time in SF was filled with a lot of dishonesty from the FO. They rushed him up in 23 after he'd taken 27 PA in AAA. He was sent down days later. They said he was the OD SS with 365 PA above A-ball. They said he was the everyday DH after trading Soler. Neither of those would actually happen

Oh man what a sudden, sad end to Marco Luciano’s time at the Giants. I really hope a change of scenery works for him after the organisation helped screw up his development.

2018, Russia: "Fuck this, I'm not watching a World Cup in a fascist country. I'll just wait four years."

2022, Qatar: "Fuck this, I'm not watching a World Cup in a fascist country. I guess I'll wait another four years..."

2026: So I guess the joke is on me.

So you’re saying Scotland might actually have a chance at getting out of the group

If you want a serious laugh check Scotland’s 1998 group and compare it to their 2026 one

At this point I genuinely hate him

Also I think Scotland have now waited longer to find out their World Cup group than to qualify for one (26 years)

This is the most horrific trophy I’ve ever seen. It looks like a cursed object found in a desert crypt.

Never, ever, ever, ever in the entire history of humanity has one human being’s ego needed to be stroked so much. It’s so fucking pathetic. And shame, shame, shame on all the ego strokers.
