perfectly acceptable stadium food Lissa.

bah. we elder millennials interpret everything through Simpsons references, not Harry Potter.

(i only made about a million Mr. Plow jokes this weekend, even though I was nowhere near the snowstorm)

wow nerd

LOL

i'm more annoyed that Cashman didn't try and push harder to get another arm (I was hoping for Peralta because the Yankees rotation without Cole/Rodon/Schmidt is, uh, yikes). But now I just gotta hope that Cashman tries to trade for Mackenzie Gore (preferably now rather than at the deadline)

Jeff, you're missing the main point of this, which is: WHY WOULD THE EVIL DODGERS DO THIS?

she remains an absolute queen.

who amongst us has not been distracted thinking about baseball

yup. i just don't see this team getting a chip with KAT.

KAT, cmon.

putrid.

Phanatic in shambles.

i'm still complaining about the other things, but i am glad for OG. and to see Shamet healthy again and playing (he gets a pass for tonight, the rest of the bench + KAT do not)

Knicks filing protest with NBA to dispute Monday's loss to Rockets After a bogus last-second foul call that led to the Knicks’ loss on Monday night against the Houston Rockets, the team isn’t taking it lightly and is filing a protest with the NBA to dispute the resul...

cmon, it's Jacyn Goble reffing. dude's a former Miami cop who became a ref (and suddenly the Heat went undefeated a while whenever he reffed one of their games). same dude also called the phantom foul v. Brunson a couple of years ago, and the Knicks unsurprisingly have a terrible record with him

yup. perfectly acceptable to grumble about our bench, about KAT's sloppy fouls, and about Jacyn Goble always having it in for the Knicks.

fuck the Astros.

truly.

Clarkson and Kolek haven't been good off the bench either, but oof, Yabu has just been awful.

I'm so over the Yabu experiment.

I can absolutely see it. Cohen being mad that Tucker didn't sign, offers Bellinger something like 4/175 or 5/220 while the Yankees refuse to go more than 32-25m aav.

and then Bellinger is... good, but not Yankee Stadium Bellinger and both the Yankees and Mets fans are mad.

my guess is Bellinger to the Mets now, Bichette to the Jays, and Yankees fans being mad about Hal Steinbrenner sitting out free agency.

on the Mets/Belli, I get a very Steinbrenner sense of "i didn't get this guy i offered big money to? how dare he. i'll just overspend on someone else" from Cohen

and this is why Melo will never be on my list of favorite Knicks. fuck him for that ego. god forbid he might have to share a bit of spotlight with Lin or anyone else on that team.

Brian you can just invest all your emotional energy into the Knicks, it's fine, they won't hurt you or emotionally scar you or anything.

Landry's back!

E&E News: Trump admin redirects carbon capture funds to prop up old coal plants The Energy Department says it’s legally sound to shift more than half a billion dollars to help revive old and closed coal plants. Department officials, legal experts and lawmakers disagree.

New from @hmnorthey.bsky.social: the DOE is planning to transfer money set aside for carbon capture tech to revive coal plants from the dead.

When I said carbon capture was being used to keep the fossil fuel industry alive I hadn't quite imagined this lol subscriber.politicopro.com/article/eene...

fuck the red sox.

thank you! will definitely give this a listen.

Super, super interesting paper from Rosie Cooperman: "the two most distinct...partisans, D women & R men, are prominently featured in the opposing party’s negative messaging...D women as the focal point of negative messaging...has significant consequences for this group of officeholders."

just part of being a very normal democracy right nick?

was it on the first pitch? please tell me it was on the first pitch?

yup. I do think his omission is shocking - both he and John Donaldson deserve to have their plaques and stories in Cooperstown.

btw, is there a good biography of Newcombe that you'd recommend?

Absolutely, though way too late (deserved one for Better Call Saul)

one defense of CBA has always been that it forces admins to be explicit about their values....

"Over the past four decades, Republican and Democratic administrations have used different estimates of the monetary value of a human life... But until now, no administration has counted it as zero."
