Baseball is Fun.

Pretty much here to see pictures of cats and talk about baseball.
The backyard sure was pretty tonight.

I will never cease to be amazed by space.

Keep looking up folks.

Brewers up 2-0 on the Cubs?

YAAAAAAASSSS!

Eh, it's been a while.

In short, the Brewers are still awesome, the Fubon Guardians are horrible, and I really don't wake up early to watch them anymore (they're 2024 White Sox bad), the Fever need Caitlin Clark back.

I'm hitting really well in baseball this year, and my golf game still sucks.

I have a colonoscopy tomorrow...(I'm old)

Today, we get to play the game "Is that a fart, or am I about to shit my pants?"

Good times.

If I use the AI to create something I usually don’t share it. But this time I feel I have to share it. Here is Taiwan’s captain Chen Chieh-hsien (陳傑憲) famous celebration 🎉 One of my happiest sporting memories. That day Taiwan became won the premier 11 against Japan. #Taiwan #陳傑憲 #台灣 #TeamTaiwan

I'm really hoping that the Brewers were just doing an early April Fool's joke on all of us with their performance so far...

Jackie Robinson Day is going to awkward this year...if it even happens.
Major League Baseball's much-lauded Diversity Pipeline Program has been erased from its website. There has been no explanation.

Read my story about this in today's newsletter. It's not paywalled.

What happened to MLB's Diversity Pipeline Program? Food at the Tokyo Dome, a travel warning, AI, Cybertrucks, financing burritos, anti-vaxxers, and The Big Crunch

Sleep Token ticket acquired!

Look, it may be in Lincoln, NE, but I was still 10K+ back in the queue that I joined first for the Chicago show.

I only break this out once a year at this point, but I absolutely love this hat from the Irish National Baseball Team. I've had it for about 20 years at this point.

While I'm only Irish-ish (like 25%), I got all of the Irish family traits (freckles, gingerness - when I had hair).

I just had a discussion with someone on another platform that honestly thinks the Rays should move to...Omaha.

Omaha.

There is a better chance that the Rays move to Montreal than an MLB sets up in Omaha.

Okay, time to re-watch the Taiwan/Spain WBC game again...

I love that my job lets me do stuff like this.

“Sorry we kept you guys waiting and worried," manager Hao-Jiu Tseng told the fans. "We did it.”

Chinese Taipei bounces back from a terrible start at the Taipei Dome to book its spot at the 2025 World Baseball Classic. Spain is once again on the outside looking in.
