The Blue Jays crowd had absolutely nothing. Stale bread. Then Max Scherzer emerged from the dugout pregame to a huge roar and the switch was flipped, Game 6 hangover over. @bryanagraham.bsky.social

The US has trade deficits because they like products other countries make. And Americans like the prices they get them for. That benefits Americans, especially because Americans don't make much of what they buy. Whining about this is like complaining about your trade deficit with Trader Joe's.

Damascus falls and in Bay Ridge Brooklyn, home to the largest middle eastern population in NYC, horns are blaring and people are cheering.

Ever get bored on the 4th of July and start sticking M80's in cinder blocks to see what happens? I haven't, but this is what MLB Commissioner and the owners are doing with the "golden at-bat", which I still think is something of a gag. My take. @us.theguardian.com www.theguardian.com/sport/2024/d...
Baseball has much larger problems than the farcical ‘golden at-bat’
The proposed rule change has been met with widespread derision. But MLB has two teams in temporary homes and an avalanche of pitcher injuries

The @raysbaseball.bsky.social should be working with Montreal, currently renovating Olympic Stadium, to relocate there for the 2028 season. It's getting a new roof, sound sys, lighting, heat and AC, all paid by Quebec. If TB invests in game experience reno, suites, concourse, it's a new venue.

The Philadelphia 76ers do not need a new arena. The current arena is modern and in perfect shape, and has mass transit, to and from. There is no reason whatsoever aside from the 76ers receiving public money to further enrich their franchise which I am sure is doing fine, despite their Embid issues.
