MLB officials threatening players will "end up in a ditch" for disrespecting Manfred is outrageous behavior.

Part 14 billion!
What we see in the WNBA is just a continuation of what we have seen in men's sports in the past. And this is why you shouldn't believe the stories told by owners.

If your team won... they are probably winning a title soon.
Yes, this is a response to how sportswriters tend to cover every win and loss! π
My prediction isn't particularly clever. It already looks like the WNBA has taken off. Seems obvious women's professional soccer will be the same.
By the end of the century, women's professional sports will be "obviously" a successful business.
What story are you writing about the Dodgers now? Still a dynasty?
If your entire evaluation of this team depends on one step... well, maybe you need to think about your evaluation.
And that is all they do!
The fact he hit that home run proves the draft should be capped.
And Rojas -- who hit the tying home run -- was a player they traded for.
Trades also have to be capped.
ππ
And it will be just as big as this.
If the Dodgers lose, the owners will also call for a salary cap.
For the record... baseball doesn't need a salary cap!

Or just have them replaced by an AI program that will be equally wrong! π
My wife:
"What a day it has been. What a rare mood I'm in!"
She is maintaining her sense of humor as a Dodgers fan!!
Blue Jays ain't scoring 3 runs tonight, right?
Then again -- on the other hand -- economists tend to make bad predictions. So... never mind! π

They'll never do it but I salivate at the idea of @wagesofwins.bsky.social being sic'd on him
Had the Blue Jays won the 18-inning game, this series would now be over. If the Dodgers do end up winning, we should remember that.
I suspect most will not.

That's what the data says. And no one should actually think about correlation vs. causation. Let AI do all your thinking!
