Just a note that the majority of my MLB stuff (maybe all of it except for replies to other tweets) will likely appear here at Bsky for the 2025 season.
I remember that time he got stuck to the wall. He was banging on it for hours till they came out and got him down.

Icing the kicker should be outlawed.

What's a catch? It's subjective.

Republicans announce the entire state of Indiana will be defunded if they do not obey Trump by gerrymandering their state.

“Roads will not be paved. Guard bases will close. Major projects will stop.”

That last one (W14) seems like quite the trick:

MAGAZINER: How many veterans have you deported?

NOEM: We haven't deported veterans

While I'm miffed at the Diaz deal, Alonso is an overpay. Probably would not have been too painful for the Mets to match, but I can see why Wilpon wouldn't want to do it.
December 10, 2025 at 6:31 PM
I get that the Mets didn't want to give Diaz five years, but for the Wilpons to lose him on a three year deal for a similar AAV to what they were already paying him...

In fairness to the Colts, their first call was to John Harbaugh, but...you know
The Colts are planning to bring potential Hall of Fame QB Philip Rivers into their facility Tuesday to work out to see if he may join their practice squad, per me & Mike Garafolo.

This is real. Daniel Jones’ season is over, Riley Leonard will start, but Rivers may be an option.

As far as the Veteran's Committee goes, you know what you're getting and Kent had a better career than Harold Baines, Jack Morris and Dave Parker, so this is actually an improvement for them.

If the Bears win, I'm hoping it's Luthor Burden with the winning score, just so I can say...(ahem)

The Jets 15 year post-season drought being the longest of the four major American sports is a sad reminder how many teams get into the playoffs everywhere now.

Who the hell is Brady Cook?

First play of the game blown dead before snap. Both teams clap. Ref calls both a false start and neutral zone infraction. This is going to be a fun one.
December 7, 2025 at 6:04 PM
The Jets are brown now. Probably because they're the shits.

Cowards! Go for two!

QB seemed like he was looking for someone to sack him and then they miss the FG. Can't help Ohio St and then hope to beat them.
December 7, 2025 at 2:09 AM
Indiana just played that last series so poorly, it's almost surprising Ohio St only came away with 7 points.

This is how stupid the NFL is this season. The Bears are the top seed in the NFC, but also one of the biggest dogs on the board in Week 14

Donald Trump just removed Martin Luther King Jr. Day and Juneteenth from the list of free entry days at national parks.

They are being replaced with Trump’s birthday.

You don't often see teams as disinterested in tackling as UNLV seems to be tonight.

What do I win @fangraphs.com?

My own ballot would be Beltran, A.Jones, Wright, but considering how the other two have some less than favorable off the field circumstances, I don't think it's as insane as most of the commenters. There are no must vote candidates on this ballot.
Ballot #5 is from a voter who wishes to remain anonymous. As a refresher, we are unable to report adds or drops, if any, on anonymous ballots.

This is the first ever known David Wright-only ballot. There will not be a unanimous inductee this year.
