I write baseball words for a living. Constantly tired and ready to retire. Here to make myself laugh.

I wrote mostly about some minor league stuff at Redleg Nation today, but also in there I noted how expensive Redsfest is getting. Prices for an adult 2-day pass have gone up 60% since 2020.

Just thinking about how the indictment says Clase was working with bettors hundreds of times over the last few years and how "they" didn't catch it until the third season in which they allege he was doing it.

For as well as I did with my tomatoes this year, I did not do well with my potatoes. It wasn't a failure, just a disappointment. Harvested the rest of them today. 19lbs today, 14 lbs in previous harvests. So 33 lbs total. Was expecting at least double that.
Might not grow them next year.

It's that time of year again.... this is your reminder to go unhook the hose from the house to lessen the chances your pipes freeze and explode and cause a lot of problems you don't wanna pay for.

Man, some people have never known some people before. I knew some people who if you said this to that within days they would find YOU in a ditch. Or maybe never find you.
These new details from last summer's confrontation between Rob Manfred and Bryce Harper are absolutely insane.
MLB officials threatening players will "end up in a ditch" for disrespecting Manfred is outrageous behavior.

Reading about the whole SNAP thing is really starting to frustrate me. Every single article feels the need to point out that this used to be called food stamps. It hasn't been called that in nearly two decades. And they got away from calling that on purpose. To try and eliminate the stigma attached.

I really need to meal prep better for days like the last few where I'm sick and only sort of able to function. Throwing something in the microwave or air fryer works. Cooking? That's a challenge. I have failed myself this week.
