Thanksgiving dinner is fckng delicious.
A well-cooked turkey is so flavorful. Suck it, chicken, I'll take turkey every day of the week.
Stuffing, simpler the better.
Garlic mashed potatoes
Gravy however you want to make it, as long as it's thick.
Cranberry relish (not jelly, please).
Best meal.

How many times do you see it? Guy makes a great play in the field, comes up and gets a big hit!
Answer: Almost never
But the ball *ALWAYS* finds the guy who just entered the game / is playing out of position.

Reconnecting with a long-lost father through baseball is much more than Hollywood script material for Oregon native Elizabeth Riley.

Pretty sure she could afford Obamacare.
Venus Williams just won her first match in two years and at the end when they were interviewing her about what a miracle it was, she said she had to come back and play a match; they told her she was on cobra and she’s always at the doctor so **she needs the health insurance**

Brief scouting report on 18-year-old right-hander Roimer Rosas, whom the Dodgers signed yesterday out of Venezuela: low-cost addition, throws strikes and flashed a decent changeup. Will start in the Dominican Summer League.

Hi Alex, I admit this question is for fantasy baseball purposes but do you have any insight into why Tony Blanco, Jr is on the 60 day IL?
I hope it's not a bad injury, but also understand that he and his family have suffered a terrible tragedy.

@bobbyblanco.bsky.social Hi Bobby, I enjoyed your article recapping the Nats win over the Mets. Do you happen to have any insight into why Crews' hustle double was changed to a single? There was no error charged to Nimmo, so how in the scorebook does MLB account for the extra base?

Hi Britt!
Hey, I loved Dylan Crews' hustle double tonight...but, why in the box score is he not credited with a double? Any insight? The Mets have no errors, so it doesn't appear to have been ruled a single and an error on the odd judgement to throw to third. Thanks!
