Last offseason it was annoying that every article about the Guardians asked “When will they trade Steven Kwan?” But this year, every article will remind us that Ortiz and Clase sold their birthrights for a mess of pottage AND ask “When will they trade Steven Kwan?”

Now do Cleveland.
I sat down with a Seattle city planner to discuss this project so long ago that I can’t quite remember when it was. 2010 when we took my stepson to visit Cornish? 2006 when I was in town on a makeshift book tour? The 1990s sometime? Anyway, glad it’s finally done.

My political hot take is that US voters should be able to recall elected representatives via petition - at any time.
No more hiding behind election terms.

This, so much. Chuck and Co. think they can sacrifice voters in order to win voters.
I … just don’t see how that’s a viable strategy, but what do I know?

Totally normal day where the Supreme Court is earning more respect than the Democrats.

In 2024 Clasé had an unbelievable season, a 0.659 WHIP in 74 innings. Unhittable. Then he was absolutely lit up in the playoffs -- DET knocked him around and then he gave up 7 hits and 2 HR against NYY and had a WHIP above 3. Might just be fatigue, might be good hitters. But now, we wonder.
