I sometimes think that our #Mets are stuck in the world of the “three true outcomes.” Yesterday, they had two home runs out of five hits. They struck out ten times. AI tells me that they average 7.96 hits per game (23rd in MLB).

I’d like to see more hits and fewer strikeouts. Bat to ball. #LGM

Gary said the Mets have no hits since the fourth. Sigh. #LGM

If they hire him, I’m buying tickets for the second year.

I was the only man at a mini-tournament. Someone came by, pointed, and said “there’s a man here” like it was the girl’s locker room.

It is a fun game.

He’s the bouncing father of a proud baby boy

I often mutter that the game should be called regret.

Soooooo close! Then a yellow. He’s everywhere.

He’s playing really well!

You should have seen the agitation in the American Mahjong groups. How dare they make a mistake! The horror! We paid for that card!

BTW, the replacement card was free. And the NMJL has always sent their net proceeds to charities. So, yes, weirdly American, but not capitalistic.

This is a great read!

Why have things descended to the point where we are insulting poodles?

As soon as they blew the whistle I was anticipating pitchers and catchers! #Lgm

I love how cool Spence looks in his portrait. The photographer probably said “give me some excitement!” Spence looked at him and said “just watch me play.”

Things I would never say

Exciting Six Nations #Rugby coming up

Just one guy

Join us comrades!

I love this sentiment:

pressure.club Join the club where you build yourself and succeed against all odds.

This is a fascinating negotiation. Cohen doesn’t like the terms, Boras claims some sort of standard deal exists for players like Pete. The lack of interest in Pete and the club saying time is running out adds pressure. Pete has no leverage beyond being a fan favorite.

Pete takes the deal.

Research I can’t believe I’m doing

The frustrating thing about cooking is that hours of preparation lead to five minutes of hoovering up the delicious results.

Jacob Steinberg in The Guardian:

“Some clubs have a mystique that lets them triumph from impossible positions. Spurs are the opposite.”

From The Onion

I sat there watching the match and wondering why I wasn’t upset. Clearly the first half was…underwhelming. But then Kulusevski chips a ball over four(!) Everton players and Moore floats a perfect cross for a goal. And a broad smile breaks across my face. #Coys

The reality is harsh, and you speak well to it. But exhaustion won’t help. That is what opponents are hoping for.

Goal!!!!! #COYS

Turn him!
