No M's in the top row obviously (Campanella, third baseman, at 4%?) but all M's below there.
All nonwhite players, too, keeping the theme with the top row.

You should still say what he actually said if you're attributing it to him. You can still say what you did in the post, too.
Jason said X, Y, Z.
If that's true, then A, B, C, D, and Q.
Pretty simple.

Bonus all-M's grid to correct a grave oversight from this morning. As soon as I hit "post" on my phone I had that moment of "Wait....shit"

Note what? Our Supreme Court has already decided Trump will never be held accountable for any of his crimes. There's no going over their heads.

Speed grid!
I'm sure this score will drop in a few minutes, let alone midday.
And it's all M's.

It could be $20 million and that would probably be, at most, a single percent of the game's profits. And I think it's pretty unlikely it'll even be that high. That's why I figure they'll shrug it off as the cost of doing business. The market certainly won't hold them to task for what they've done.

Well now I'm wondering if anyone named Rob Thomas ever played in the bigs 🤔 has to be at least one, right?

All M's. Pat Borders comes up clutch. Using him is starting to feel like using Terry Mulholland/Ron Villone/Mike Morgan, i.e. a bit of a copout 🤣 but the only other guy I could think of for that square is just like the ocean under the moon, and he probably would have been a big chunk.

Every time I see a shitlib cry about how "the right is so united but all our side does is eat their own" I die a little inside.

I don't mean to be cynical (it just comes naturally!) but I can't imagine any arse-handling equating to anything more than a fine that would be seen as the cost of doing business (a fraction of a fraction of a fraction of a percent of the game's profits)

Said it before but it's not gonna stop being apropos, I really wish we lived in a world where this scandal (if it even counts as one outside of the "leftist or left leaning and chronically online" space) had a chance of keeping this game from making billions-with-a-B (and an S) profit. But we don't.

Talk about going from "fine who cares" to "fuck all the way off"

He bristled at being called a utility player, saying they only play once or twice a week and "I'm an everyday player. I just play everywhere." Semantics, I suppose, but having a guy who, while perhaps not great at anything, was good at pretty much everything to plug in anywhere was such a weapon.

A fair caricature of Mac, with arms and legs and bats sticking out at all angles (to resemble the knife and its many tools). I've never been able to find it again since. It was a really nice celebration of how Mac contributed to that team.
