"But as in any KD Casey book, the third party in the relationship is ‘baseball’, which here acts as a hard to please lover."
I was trying to think of a good summary of this book, but a pal did it for me. Breakout Year, an mm sports romance, is out in the world!

we need to treat the wapo the same way as vichy deadspin at this point
Analysis: Weeks before he set foot on the stage, Bad Bunny’s halftime performance had already become a media event.
But if you were looking for political commentary, the closest that you got was when he said “God bless America” in English.

Analysis | Bad Bunny’s Super Bowl halftime show was expected to provoke. Did it?
The Bad Bunny Super Bowl show nodded to injustices in Puerto Rico but mostly evoked wholesome family values that meshed with the more sentimental commercials.

this book is gorgeous (the words and the pictures) and makes for an incredible opening day/wbc/pitchers & catchers report gift
Today is #ClementeDay. I wrote a children's book about #RobertoClemente. CALL ME ROBERTO! is not just about baseball feats or a tragic death. It's about a man whose defiance of bigotry has given me permission to be myself in a world that would rather I be someone else. And I'm so grateful.

Yes we're called Orioles fans
Are there sports guys on here who adopt the annoying too-savvy doomerism of politics guys? Saying stuff like "You really think there's going to be a second half"
if you see someone posting "I CANT BELIEVE IT, HOLY SHIT" or "THIS IS UN-FUCKING REAL" later this afternoon know with confidence it's either someone watching "the big game" or more evidence of elite wrongdoing uncovered in the unending global pedophile trafficking scandal

Murray says the Post will be closing the sports department “in its current form.” The paper plans to retain several reporters to join features and cover sports as a “cultural and societal phenomenon,” and will have a few employees on its print sports section.

new: Minnesota Timberwolves chaplain and activist Matt Moberg FaceTimed me from an ICE blanketed parking lot about his empathy for Anthony Edwards, Wemby's provocative statement about the Spurs, and the value (if any) of athletes speaking out.
