I've eaten an apple with a pocket knife and it's as exactly as cool as it looks to be.

Wasn't the point of this piece (which is good) but it's funny about how much of the Dodgers success is by creating a solid farm system and then just sending most of them away because prospects aren't nearly as good as real established players you can sign or trade for.
The 2021 trade deadline put the Nats rebuild behind the 8 ball from the get go www.federalbaseball.com/washington-n...
The 2021 Trade Deadline set the Washington Nationals back years
The teardown of 2021 marked the start of the Nationals rebuild, but they did not get enough in return at that deadline

You aren’t thinking 5th dimensionally enough. It’s going to kill the GOP when Johnson keeps the gov’t closed to avoid a vote on the Epstein files

Still patiently waiting for DeMarlo Hale to get his shot
Haha, dude with no coaching experience gets three guaranteed years, but Ron Washington had to settle for two with the Angels. It's farcical at this point.

I don't think the GOP has any idea how to handle the fact they have made the party beholden to a 10%+ that simply like Trump. They don't care about the GOP platform (though they may favor it). They don't listen to Trump tell them to vote for others. They just like to go out and vote for that guy.

First salvo is when your first kid starts school and one day you start to work out how long they will be at home before college and it’s the same amount of time that you’ve been out of college.
One of the signs of healthy aging, I think, is when you see a young, attractive person and the thought "what on earth could I possibly talk about with them?" completely dominates the old inner monologue.
Oh, I find people in their 20s (women especially, as I am straight) attractive, and I don't feel bad about that; some people are just pretty! Also I find my brain sorts attractive women in their 20s the same way it sorts attractive men of all ages, i.e, "Okay, they're hot, and also, not for me."

Fun game. How many Nats are in this list? If any what number(s)?
No fair using AI to skim it bc Pouliot wisely added two traps!

A lot less “we should just have as much light in the evening as possible all year long” discourse this year. Probably bc you have other stuff to worry about but I like to believe they realize it’s an anti-science do-what-I-want-who-cares-about-you MAHA position

It's been this way for years but managers reluctance to be aggressive on the base paths coupled with old-time thinking about bunt strategy consistently puts their teams in bad positions. Giving up outs to put pressure on themselves instead of sacrificing outs to try to put pressure on other team.

Kikè was doing what exactly there? Like that was a completely trash defense save by his CF.
See Straw there... that's how you handle a deep fly ball! You should know that.

I was completely wrong - it was bases loaded and one-out. I apologize
Gonna watch the Blue Jays get 2nd and 3rd no-one out and not score aren't we?

It was cool getting him at the plate but if they were playing normal D that's an easy DP.
