Welcome to Groove 2000.

Updated my Hall of fWAR to include 2024 stats. Judge, Machado, and Harper have now crossed the threshold. The current ballot includes 13 players who would be inducted to the Hall of Fame by this method. We'll find out if this image can be zoomed in enough on Bluesky to be legible.
We need a salary cap for NCAA football coaches.
5:45 pm on Thanksgiving Eve?

Now THIS is how you news dump.

The gob’ment can’t tell me what ter do!
Markwayne Mullin on healthcare: "What the president would like to do is say, hey, if you take care of yourself -- you don't smoke, you don't dip, you're not drinking, you're not overweight, you're working out -- then you should pay less than the guy that obviously is not taking care of himself."

Wow, unusual to have three cousins on the same roster.
Yankee non-tenders: Cousins, Effross, Hamilton, Leiter Jr.

This guy nailed it.
Trump in a room with a very charismatic person results in like half a day of Trump agreeing with everything that person said, so this has the potential to be very, very funny.
Trump says he’s meeting with “communist” Mamdani at the White House on Friday

Trojans v Trojans. No wonder it came down to the wire.

Sorry Ms. Jackson, I’m traded for Eeles.
Twins acquired catcher Alex Jackson from the Orioles for infield prospect Payton Eeles.

Jackson is 29 and a career .153 hitter in 160 big-league games. He's eligible for arbitration, with a projected $1.8 million salary.

Jackson is presumably the Christian Vázquez replacement.

I’d never heard of these Nuzzi and Lizza people before today. That’s way too many Zs for me to be certain you all aren’t just making them up.

I don't think JD’s ever done Ibuprofen. I don't know if anyone's ever offered him any.
JD Vance calls ibuprofen "useless medication" and implies it's not "necessary, safe and effective."

What if you can always see auroras through your iPhone camera but nobody ever checks unless there is a big solar flare happening.

Edgardo De Leon has all the bat speed. A guy to follow in 2026.

Whenever I get asked to take a short survey from MLB, I jump at the chance to answer it in part because one of the questions is about gambling stuff on broadcasts. Don’t think they really care what I think, but maybe if enough people say it…

Are they going to vote?

Oh, Trump was 100% on the ballot last night.
Trump to Republican senators: "I thought we'd have a discussion after the press leaves about what last night represented and what we should do about it and also about the shutdown and how that relates to last night. If you read the pollsters, the shutdown was a big factor, negative for Republicans."

The Cubs' BEST pure bat in the 2025 draft class?

Josiah Hartshorn.

The switch-hitter has the bat speed + contact skills to be a solid or better pure hitter 💪

John Candy was born on Halloween? Get out!

Scoreless game going into the 9th. The most boring WS game of all time.

Neither team deserves to win. They’ve both been eliminated, and there will be no world champion crowned this season. Sorry folks.

Pretty good.
